Download or read book Immodest Acts written by Judith C. Brown and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1986 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of the fascinating and richly documented story of Sister Benedetta Carlini, Abbess of the Convent of the Mother of God, by Judith C. Brown was an event of major historical importance. Not only is the story revealed in Immodest Acts that of the rise and fall of a powerful woman in a church community and a record of the life of a religious visionary, it is also the earliest documentation of lesbianism in modern Western history. Born of well-to-do parents, Benedetta Carlini entered the convent at the age of nine. At twenty-three, she began to have visions of both a religious and erotic nature. Benedetta was elected abbess due largely to these visions, but later aroused suspicions by claiming to have had supernatural contacts with Christ. During the course of an investigation, church authorities not only found that she had faked her visions and stigmata, but uncovered evidence of a lesbian affair with another nun, Bartolomeo. The story of the relationship between the two nuns and of Benedetta's fall from an abbess to an outcast is revealed in surprisingly candid archival documents and retold here with a fine sense of drama.
Download or read book Confessions of a Pagan Nun written by Kate Horsley and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2002-09-10 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A druid-turned-nun writes of faith, love, loss, and religion in this “beautifully written and thought-provoking book” set at the dawn of Ireland’s Christian era (Library Journal) Cloistered in a stone cell at the monastery of Saint Brigit, a sixth-century Irish nun secretly records the memories of her Pagan youth, interrupting her assigned task of transcribing Augustine and Patrick. She revisits her past, piece by piece—her fiercely independent mother, whose skill with healing plants and inner strength she inherited; her druid teacher, the brusque and magnetic Giannon, who introduced her to the mysteries of the written language. But disturbing events at the cloister keep intervening. As the monastery is rent by vague and fantastic accusations, Gwynneve's words become the one force that can save her from annihilation. “As a slant of sunlight illuminates jewels long buried, Kate Horsley's novel brings words to an ancient silence and a living, vivid presence to people who lived in that time of great changes and estrangements we call the Dark Ages.” —Ursula K. Le Guin

Download or read book Nun written by Mary Gilligan Wong and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt P. This book was released on 1983 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many Catholic girls prior to Vatican II, Mary wanted to be a nun. Ecstatic at her acceptance into a teaching order, she began the period of intense training called "formation," learning the virtues prescribed by a 19th-century, male-dominated Church: humility, self-abnegation, and childlike dependence on the will of her superiors. What happens to a normal 14-year-old girl, giggly and interested in boys, who adores her family yet feels compelled to commit herself to a life that will demand that she never again visit her parents' home? And what leads Mary, "formed" and on mission, to make the decision not to take her final vows? Here, the author invites the reader to enter the world of the young woman who made that journey, to wander the cloistered halls of the convent and experience from the inside the workings of cloistered minds and hearts. Mary Wong interviewed forty former nuns about the experience of convent life, interweaving their stories with hers in a candid, funny, deeply moving account of her training and adventures, and of the beliefs and doubts that persevere.--From publisher description.

This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jesus and Other Lovers, a Memoir of a Catholic Nun, Judy captures the inner workings of a convent, pointing her lens straight at its rules, rituals, and relationships. We first meet Judy as a high school freshman who is enamored with the beautiful Sister Maureen. Their relationship deepens and becomes daringly physical. Judy enters the convent to be near her beloved. However, the Mistress of Novices has other plans and works diligently to eradicate this passion. Sadly, Sister Maureen and Judy are never assigned to the same convent. Although Judy applies herself to become a good nun in her twelve years of teaching, she finally realizes this lonely life is not for her. With the help of a kind Mother Superior and a colorful outside therapist, she successfully leaves the convent in 1967, the Summer of Love. She then pursues her real passion by enrolling in the California School of the Arts in Berkeley to become an artist. Her memoir shines a light on convent life-institutions that are now dying in the U.S. Those who have attended Catholic schools will especially love this account told with refreshing honesty, humor and insight.
