Good grief, what was she thinking?

Quote: In an interview with the Catholic daily Avvenire this week, Sister Cristina explained why she picked Like a Virgin as one of the tracks on her album, which will be released next month."I chose it myself, without any desire to provoke or cause a scandal. By reading the text, without letting yourself be influenced by previous [interpretations], you discover that it is a song about the ability of love to renew people, to redeem them from their past. And that’s how I wanted to interpret it."

Original Madonna lyrics (Sister Cristina removed the BLUE parts in her version)

"Like A Virgin"

I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found you

I was beat incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new

[Chorus:]

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats [after first time, "With your heartbeat"]
Next to mine

Gonna give you all my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you
'Cause only love can last

You're so fine and you're mine
Make me strong, yeah you make me bold
Oh your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out
What was scared and cold

[chorus]

Oooh, oooh, oooh

You're so fine and you're mine
I'll be yours 'till the end of time
'Cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
I've nothing to hide

[chorus]

Like a virgin, ooh, ooh
Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold me, and your heart beats, and you love me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, baby
Can't you hear my heart beat
For the very first time?

*sigh*


In Christ,

Thank you Mother Angelica...

By Connecticut Catholic Corner

... you've changed the world with your devotion and love for Christ.  

By answering His call to you 70 years ago, and founding the Eternal World Television Network untold numbers of people have come to the Church and returned to the Church.  

I believe one day you will hear the words "Well done good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master ."


God bless you and Happy 70th Anniversary being a nun!

I thank Him for bringing you into my life.  You're a big reason I am Catholic today. 

So thank you.


In Christ,

Julie @ Connecticut Catholic Corner

Catholic Nun beaten by male teacher

This is disturbing...

From what I can gather, this Catholic nun, Sister Chakupaleza is being beaten (this is graphic) by a teacher at the Catholic school they both work for.

Apparently, Sister Chakupaleza was following orders to lock the doors of a rental house used by science teacher Mr. Daswell Sichilongo because he owed them back rent.  The nun did what she was told and was terribly beaten for it.

When Mr. Daswell finally gets into the building (shown in the video), he proceeds to violently punch and kick the Catholic nun who tries to get away and avoid his vicious blows.

Quote: "Sister Emma Chakupaleza, an acting head teacher at Roma Girls Secondary School was battered 3 days ago after locking the house occupied by Mr. Daswell Sichilongo, a Science teacher at the same school."

The violent science teacher was eventually arrested for assault- which he attempted to deny (must not have known he was video taped beating the poor nun.

Soon after, Father Kunda a spokesperson for the school made the following statement:

Quote: "ZEC spokesperson Father Winfield Kunda says the violent beating of defenceless Reverend Sister Emma Chakupaleza for executing her duty by a fellow teacher was uncalled for and deserves serious condemnation from all well-meaning Zambia especially in this day when gender based violence has no place in society. Father Kunda says in a society where restraint and mutual dialogue no matter the provocation is being preached, it was expected of Mr.Daswell Sichilongo to control himself unlike resorting to violence especially that he is a teacher who should not only teach science subjects but also morals to his pupils. He says what he portrayed especially on Camera for a widely watched TV station deserves condemnation. Father Kunda adds that to make matters worse, this uncalled for actions have even gone viral on social media and shall be there forever further exposing the Reverend Sister whose noble vocation to serve the entire humanity to more embarrassment and pain."

I wonder if Mr. Sichilongo would have treated the priest with violence if it has been the priest who locked the door rather than a nun?


God have mercy.  I pray the nun is now doing well and recovering from her injuries.


In Christ,

Julie @ Connecticut Catholic Corner
