[QUOTE="Father Michael, post: 1547827, member: 22680"] Thank you for the translation and the extra info. More unknowns are how a nun came to be at that service alone!? That's impossible. So who was with her and what did they do? Then what happened to her and her monastery? Are they under his jurisdiction? Sorry, I know we probably can't answer these questions. I understand many people have or had affection for his book. It is extremely well-crafted, and very effective in its purpose. I picked it up with gusto, but after about halfway through, and without offending anybody, let's just say I lost my gusto... ...for the reasons you describe. Again, no offence meant to anyone with a good and wholesome fondness for his book. I can understand how inspirational it can have been for many people. [/QUOTE]
