Go for it! And .. please share your experience with us here. In the meantime, you and the nuns are all in my prayers.
Thanks for the info.
Her order doesn’t mention her on their website.
When I was in high school we used to call this a “barstool nun” — the kind of short-haired, middle-aged woman you see sitting at a bar with a bunch of similar women chatting and cackling about the kind of nonsense most normal people outgrew when they turned 15.
That’s right! And reined in, too.
When I was in Turkey (not Arabic, but a Muslim country), and attended Masses in Turkish, the term used at Mass for God was "Allah." It was made clear this was not the "god" of the Muslims, but simply the Turkish word for "God."
Like John would have said:”Sister, you are a real Lu Lu.”
What is in a name? In Revelation 3:1 we read: “And unto the church in Sardis:....Thou hast a name that liveth, and art dead.”
To the church at Ephesus: “Thou hast left thy first love.” (Rev. 2:4)
Peter was speaking in Acts 4:5-12: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, wherby ye must be saved.”
The apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 2:7-11 concerning our Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him and given Him a name which is above ever name:”
We pray dear God, let us as a people, called by your name, seek you and your righteousness!
She needs to be reined in? Hah. I don’t think she is going to be too responsive to her Archbishop. If she is so stubborn and prideful that she rejects the Magisterium and Christ Himself, she’s not going to pay much attention to what a mere man has to say to her.
Are you sure it’s not nuts on a bus?
Allah and they had to fight to have the right to say it.
(Wearily) Because they have let this spoiled child do her thing for too long. She did everything but lap up the spotlight.
In other words, Chrstians have a better historic claim to the word "Allah" than Muslims do.
All that, though, has been pretty much buried under Muslim cultural hegemony -- at least in the West, where we so rarely see people from the ancient Arab Christian communities, which date back to Apostolic days.
Correction: SINO. Sister in Name Only.
Campbell is a sister not a Nun. Nuns live in cloister, sisters do not. While all nuns are sisters, all sisters are not nuns.
Along those lines, Campbell is a sister not a nun. Big difference.
Thank you for clarifying this very important misunderstanding.
Jesus, Mary and the Apostles spoke Aramaic. The word for God, in Aramaic, is Aloho. Aramaic, as you know, is a dead language; iow, it has not continued to evolve with contemporary times. There are a few small villages in the Middle East, where a form of Aramaic is still spoken. Among the Catholic Churches, 3 have retained Aramaic as their liturgical language. Next week, Pope Benedict XVI will visit Lebanon where he will meet with the hierarchy of several Eastern Catholic Churches. In the Middle East, the official language is Arabic. Hence, Aloho translated into Arabic is Allah. Those who watch the coverage of the pope's visit, will hear both forms in various liturgical hymns sung at the different liturgical and prayer services.
