She’s pro-abortion. Which means this college is pro-abortion.

Yeah, yeah: “Pro-CHOICE.”

Did she care about the two teenagers who were killed? About their families?

Never mind. . .

Sorry, but she wanted to save Sean Penn.

I can’t go along with that.

“I learned what it’s like when you’re poor and a person of color — your relationship to the police. . . “

After seeing the Duke lacrosse case, I’ll never again think that it is only the poor who get mistreated by the system.

Sometimes if you are male, white, and rich, you haven’t got a chance even if you are innocent. (And a jury of the “poor” will convict you just for spite.)

No, it isn’t glamorous to think about the victims, or about innocent ... bits of tissue that some fanatics think are babies.

Sad. This ‘nun’, and others like her run around claiming some moral high ground, and claiming to value human life, while actively trying to protect the worst murderers in the country who hold no value on any life except their own...

The self-proclaimed “Cajun” nun said it took her a long time to wake up to justice and realize “that Jesus is on the side of the poor.”

She must have a learning disability and missed the “in spirit” part.

No buses were provided for them.

You're right, Sister. Ray Nagin's administration left hundreds of school buses to flood out in parking lots all over New Orleans. But somehow, I get the feeling you'll blame George Bush for that and not Ray Nagin, right?

When she began writing to Patrick Sonnier, who was executed in 1984 for the murders of two teenagers, she didn't know he would die before her eyes 2-1/2 years later. She was at his execution as his spiritual adviser.

One of the first things you have to learn is that criminals are extremely good manipulators. They lie to your face just like a politician.

From Wikipedia:

“1998 Prejean was awarded the Pacem in Terris Award. It was named after a 1963 encyclical letter by Pope John XXIII that calls upon all people of good will to secure peace among all nations. Pacem in Terris is Latin for “Peace on Earth.”

She is not a fake nun.

Yeah. I hear some nuns have a hard time figuring this out. :-p

God is on the side of the poor and He is all forgiving. But He is also all just. I remember a former pastor saying that during a homily and it had quite an impact. Perhaps Sr Helen should spend more time counseling and comforting the families of innocents who have been horribly killed than spending time with the savage killers.

“I had never watched a human being being killed,” she said. “

She should maybe have seen the two teenagers getting MURDERED by that miscreant.

I never said she was a fake nun. I said she is pro-abortion. There are tens of thousands of pro-abortion nuns.

I don’t know whether this Edgewood College is Catholic. But Prejean was disinvited as a commencement speaker at a Catholic college a few years ago because she’s pro-abortion. Or maybe it was one of those cases where the local bishop protested her invitation, and the college refused to disinvite her. Anyway, she’s pro-abortion, which means her commitment to “justice” is not based on Catholic teaching but on anger, resentment, vanity, etc. Jesus is not “on the side of the poor.” Jesus is on the side of everybody—even the rich—even sinners. Prejean is full of Marxist-resentment claptrap.

Arthur, can you document that she’s pro-abortion? She was a signatory to the Consistent Life Ethic thingie. Don’t know if CLE has a protocol for kicking signers off the list...

“I don’t know whether this Edgewood College is Catholic.”

Edgewood is a private, expensive, Catholic college in ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan,” WI.

We’ve got to stop meeting like this!

All I know for sure is what I’ve already said, and I no longer remember the details. I know it came up, there was a kerfuffle involving her position, and it involved a bishop.

As I recall.
