Wrath of the Catholic Girls

[ABSTRUSE]

I never knew the part about her attacker being at her cannonization.

Oh those crazy catholics.

The thing I find most disturbing about the sad tale of young Maria... being non Catholic as I am... is the fact that her attacker was at her Cannonisation duly forgiven his sins. I guess he confessed to a priest, said his three Hail Mary's in penance and that was that then.

"Forgiving is divine"..!

Yeah, maybe, but revenge is delicious!

 

[Liar]

Anyone looks young in the uniform of a Catholic School Girl - especially if you braid your hair.

Ok , I'll try that some day if I'm feeling old.

I didn't know you had long hair, Liar..?

Hair grows. I said some day...

Her mother and her murderer attended the canonization ceremony together. He'd had a vision that she forgave him. P.

I give that mother so much credit, I don't think I could have been so forgiving, but I guess that is where faith comes in.
Thanks P, ~A~

I'd have said "check your mental glasses, moron!", and kicked him in the groin.

I would have done a hell of a lot more than that!

I guess I do kind of admire the mother, but I most definitely can't comprehend her actions.

Goretti wasn't canonized til about 50 years after her death, perhaps the mother was simply happy about having a saint for a daughter. I don't get it either but think of Italian Catholics in the fifties. P.

I was born a good catholic girl, I went to a convent school and all sorts, but drifted out of it as I grew up. Since I married a protestant I'm now considered, and think of myself as, church of england.

I never could get to grips with the forgiveness thing though, even as a kid, I think I was confused... in one part of the Bible and its teachings we're told love thy enemy and forgive trespass, in another we're told to take an eye for an eye. Fucked up or what.

Hello JJ, what's a good clean Catholic girl like you doing in a place like this

Don't try to decypher the Bible love, it'll screw your brain righ up.

Hehe

I was a Catholic School girl for a year... then non-denomination for five, then Church of England for four.

Go figure...

On the forgiveness issue? Part of me has forgiven RB (Rat Bastard) for what he did, but part of me never will. *lesigh*

Does anyone know the irony of the school's name? Perdita

'Dita, I was baptized and took first communion on the same day (I was upset as a little kid to find out my brother was baptised & I wasn't so Mom & I got baptised at the same time) at St Maria Goretti's. I never knew her story, though. I'm not sure why, but it tickles me now.

I'm working on my stigmata now. the self flagelation wasn't working.

PM me, Abby, and I'll tell you where you can get special sanitary napkins for stigmata. P.
