Another Appalling News Item

I found this article randomly while surfing the internet, and then realized to my surprise that these nuns are from my hometown in Grand Rapids, Michigan. And so I suspect that as usual I'm a bit behind on things, and everyone back home in Grand Rapids has already heard about it.

Although I know this kind of thing is nothing new, it always outrages me when I hear about people being sent to prison as punishment for working for peace. Think of all the people in our society making profits from the war and sending young soldiers off to day, and being respected members of the community. And when nuns try and stand up for peace, they are harshly punished.
