With This Light

IT WAS SUCH A PLEASURE TO SEE SUCH A POSITIVE DEPICTION OF A NUN - ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE HAS BEEN SUCH NEGATIVE COVERAGE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AS A RESULT OF THE REVELATIONS OF THE SEXUAL ABUSE OF CHILDREN BY PRIESTS. (WE SHOULD CERTAINLY SUPPORT PENALIZING THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ABUSED CHILDREN AND THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COVERED UP THEIR CRIMES. BUT WE MUST ALSO REMEMBER THAT THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF CLERGY PEOPLE FROM ALL RELIGIONS DEDICATE THEIR LIVES TO HELPING PEOPLE. THAT'S WHY ALL RELIGIONS ARE EQUALLY GOOD). THE FILM TOOK AN EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TURN WHEN WE LEARN ABOUT THE MURDER OF A HONDURAN PRIEST BY THE HONDURAN MILITARY. IT'S EVEN MORE DISTRESSING BECAUSE NOONE WAS EVER PROSECUTED FOR HIS MURDER, AND NOONE FROM THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION EVER DEMANDED AN INVESTIGATION. (ALTHOUGH PRESIDENT REAGAN DID SOME GOOD THINGS, HIS SUPPORT FOR THE HONDURAN DICTATORSHIP AND HIS SUPPORT FOR THE CONTRAS IN NICARAGUA BOTH TAINT HIS REPUTATION). I JUST HOPE THAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WILL BE AS QUICK TO CANONIZE SISTER MARIA AS THEY WERE TO CANONIZE MOTHER THEREA BECAUSE SISTER MARIA HELPED EVEN MORE PEOPLE THAN MOTHER THERESA.
