A nun in Silver Springs is making waves
\nas an author, but don’t judge her book by it’s cover just yet.<\/p>\n
By day, Sister Christine Kresho studies scripture with lady friends at
\nleisure world, talking about God and how to be holy.<\/p>\n
By night, she writes novels about wicked priests, sex, and murder
\nstories.<\/p>\n
“They might not read an essay, something serious, they might not read a
\ntheology book. But if they read a novel, my hope is it would be in the
\ngrocery store and they would see it and pick it up!”<\/p>\n
She says she purposely pushes the envelope to get people to talk about
\nissues facing the Catholic church.<\/p>\n
Her latest work, “Sacred Betrayal,” is about an archbishop threatened
\nby a progressive group in the church and his evil assistant father who
\nshe says will “Go as far as raping and murdering the archbishop’s
\nsister, who’s a leader in this group, if that’s what it takes.”<\/p>\n
Sister Kresho joined the convent when she was just
\n17-years-old. She’s been a teacher, principal and now
\nPastoral Associate at our Lady of Grace Church in Silver Spring.<\/p>\n
ABC 7 News myTAKE – What’s Your Opinion?”If you really follow the
\ngospel and you’re really a disciple of Jesus, you have to be a
\nradical,” Sister Kresho says.<\/p>\n
Her lurid novels, the first about two murdered priests, aim to somehow
\nget those ideas out and talked about.<\/p>\n
Her boss says he’s had no complaints. “It’s her private work and it’s
\nher private thoughts. The church allows people to publish without
\nimprimaturs or permission and that’s a good thing,” says Father Peter
\nSweeney.<\/p>\n
Her leisure world ladies support her too, “She took vows, but her vows
\ndidn’t prohibit her from thinking. So why not,” says Adeline Loftus. <\/p>\n
In fact, Sister Kresho is already praying about her next, equally
\nprovocative paperback, working title, “My Priest, my Husband!””<\/p>\n
Sister Christine Kresho I guess
\nby the topics of her books (printed via a vanity press) is trying to be
\nthe female equivalent of Fr. Greeley. <\/p>\n
“The Washington Archdiocese dismisses
\nher
\nworks as poorly written and say they do not reflect reality but has no
\nplans to take any action against her.” <\/p>\n
What you mean to tell me there aren’t evil
\npriest assistants out to rape and murder the leader of a progressive
\ngroup who happens to be the Bishop’s sister? I guess albino
\nmonk assassins were already taken.<\/p>\n
