Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Yup, she's pretty cool... very strong message too...
MissScripture Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 That's REALLY cool. We are doing the play Dead Man Walking at my college this year for the fall play. I think I'm stage manager. That'd be really cool to meet her. Question: Why did you meet her? I mean, what were you doing...? Am I making any sense?
Era Might Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Does she accept the Church's teaching on abortion?
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 Yes, she does accept the Church's teaching on abortion. She did sound slightly questionable on stem cell research though... But she had come to my college for the annual Cardinal Bernardin Lecture. I met with her before the lecture for Q & A's and then after that I was invited to the dinner with her, but not all sitting at the same table (Good food though ) And then I went to the lecture. The campus Catholic Co-Chaplain told Sister about me before we met... and we didn't talk much, they had a busy schedule for her. So, yeah... hope that explains things...

That's pretty cool though! Where did you go to school if you don't mind me asking...
Totus Tuus Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Am I the only one who doesn't know who this woman is?
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 She wrote the book Dead Man Walking, she is very against the death penalty...
popestpiusx Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 [quote name='FutureNunJMJ' date='Sep 14 2005, 11:03 PM']Yup, she's pretty cool... very strong message too... [right][snapback]723883[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Cool? [quote]"I think for us to really answer the abortion question so that women don't have them, we really have to look seriously at the whole thing of birth control, family planning and not having unwanted pregnancies," Prejean said in contradiction to Catholic teaching. Prejean also lamented that "women aren't getting a fair shake in the Church today" because they can't announce the Gospel or give a homily at Mass, tasks reserved for priests. "When you have a theology that says men only can represent Christ, we have something seriously wrong," Prejean said, appearing to question the male priesthood. [/quote] Not so much.
toledo_jesus Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 it's the really charismatic people you have to watch out for Too bad.

popestpiusx Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 One should excercise a good amount of caution anytime one encounters a nun that looks like this: [img]http://www.coadp.org/thegraphics/2005/SrHelen.Med.jpg[/img]
IcePrincessKRS Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 She looks more like a grandma than a nun.
popestpiusx Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Yup. I'm sure she's a sweet (but badly mistaken) lady.
