That's Twisted, Sister


I'll check tomorrow, but I think I spoke to these very nuns as part of my current position:


3 nuns detained during Peterson protest

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The Air Force detained three women suspected of trespassing onto Peterson Air Force Base during a war protest.


Military personnel on Friday stopped Sister Barbara Huber of Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, Sister Mary Ann Cunningham of the Sisters of Loretto in Denver, and Esther Kisamore of Colorado Springs as the women tried to deliver a letter to an Air Force general.


The three were later released.


They were detained during the seventh annual Sisters Witness


Against War event at the north gate of the base. About 45 people participated.


When I first started speaking to the nuns, I was expecting meek, pious souls. Boy, was I misguided! Social justice nuns are informed and passionate and a testament to the keeping the faith.

Anyone that keeps the Air Force on their toes is good in my book. I think they should expand their outreach to protest Colonels that allow their non-Catholic spouses to receive the sacraments!

With my greatest respect,
Morgan
