She misquotes the Pope and his writing in Evangelium Vitae, is a supporter of Mumia Abu-Jamal, has hinted in a 1996 article published in Our Sunday Visitor "Sr. Prejean: Seams in Her Garment of Life" that she favors legal abortion, artificial contraception and the ordination of women. She also is good friends with Clarissa Pinkola Estes. Prejean has also stated "at this point in our history we must look not to the Catholic Church but to the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights for the clearest unequivocal endorsement of every human being's inalienable right not to be killed or subjected to torture or to cruel and degrading punishment." When pressed for her position on Church teaching she is coy and evasive. She's also spoken at Call To Action conferences.

So, Prejean's a total leftist. I've never heard of anything she's ever said except her total opposition to the death penalty.

I'd wager that, given his view of the death penalty, that John Paul II might vote for a new trial for Mumia Jamal as well.

Okay I'll bite. What's wrong with Clarissa Pinkola Estes?
