Former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney and Benedictine Sr. Joan Chittister have one thing in common these days: hope.

The lifelong Republican and the acclaimed spiritual leader and author both believe that the soul of America will prevail despite the highly divisive 2024 U.S. presidential election.

They say it will take hard work, collaboration between both sides of the political spectrum and the defeat of Donald Trump to return to a healthy state of affairs.

The nonprofit group invites speakers from around the world to address a broad range of globally important issues each year. Its president, Ferki Ferati, eagerly worked to bring Chittister and Cheney together, especially in light of Cheney's best-selling book, Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning, which relates her experiences during the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. She was one of only 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for his actions and inaction that day. Consequently, House Republicans removed her from its leadership.

"Sister Joan came to me with the idea that she wanted to have a conversation with Liz Cheney about what it is to disagree on policy but agree on some fundamental things that America stands for," Ferati said.

Chittister led the conversation, drawing in thousands of people familiar with her work advocating for peace, human rights, women's issues and monastic and church renewal. She said she "cheered a little … and cried a little" reading Cheney's memoir.

"I wanted to stand on a street corner in Erie and read it out loud to people who walked by," Chittister said. "This is something you can't read quickly or superficially."

Chittister lauded Cheney's "moral courage" standing up to Trump and other Republicans who opposed a peaceful transfer of power in 2021. "You did it," she told Cheney.

Cheney is a treasonous pig. She has no place in America. She has endorsed a Jamaican Marxist pig.

Liz Cheney lost her Congressional seat with the worst primary humiliation in the history of American politics.

The average dog or cat has more to offer when it comes to political analysis.

Joan is all in for killing babies, part of Women Religious group that’s been pushing the Vatican Left.
We have nothing to learn from either of the two

[wardamneagle]

Bye bye Liz .... Cheney family is done .... you can wait for your J-6 prosecution in January

[Fungi]

Give us all the grace to own our sexual identity,
whatever its orientation,
as another manifestation of your goodness.
Give us the vision to recognize and reject
the homophobia around us and in our own hearts, as well.

May we and the church of Jesus
open our hearts and homes and sanctuaries
to the gay and lesbian community,
to the glory of God they bring in new voice,
with different face.

Let us bless the God of differences.
Amen.

— Joan Chittister

The woman is a heretic.

If the sister believes that the failed opponent is the way to go, then the devil has greatly deceived her. And she bought the lies and slight of hand.

the God of differences

Any relation to Bergoglio’s “God of surprises”?

Another hatchet faced lesbo nun who needs to be excommunicated.

There are few people I hold in lower regard than Liz Cheney. This is one of them. (from Wikipedia below)

Chittister's stances on contraception and women's ordination are known to contradict the official teachings of the Catholic Church.[15][16] She was one of two nuns prohibited by Church authorities from attending the first Women's Ordination Worldwide conference on June 30, 2001. However, she not only attended, but gave the opening address.[17] In another instance, Chittister rejected the Church's strictures against the 23 nuns who ran an advertisement in the New York Times attacking the Church's teaching on abortion.

Yes. Were she intellectually honest she would have joined an Anglican or Episcopal convent decades ago. They do exist.

Seriously. Apostate phony meets apostate phony. Film at 11.

[wiley]

The Cheneys have gone over to the dark side - endorsing abortion, trans-gender, and every other evil the Dems stand for.
All because of hating Trump. Putting their souls in jeopardy, pretending to be Catholic.
Trump is not a threat to our Republic. They are.
