Thank you Karen for your brave actions and strong show of resistance. It has opened up avenues for the rest of us to speak and act and put pressure on the illegal acts of the Irish Govt.

Karen, her Catholic Worker comrades and Mary Kelly can't be thanked enough for sacrificing their liberty and making a stand that most of us aren't able to.

Their actions against this war - in addition to being effective - have been truly inspiring.

and all the Catholic Workers. An excellent job and an impressive demonstration of spirit and morality.

YOU CAN JAIL THE RESISTER BUT NOT THE RESISTANCE

A vigil will be held outside Limerick Prison on Good Friday morning kicking off at 8 a.m. until Karen is cut loose.

you and the other Catholic workers and Mary Kelly should be proud. Your actions were the best thing that happened over the past few months of anti war activity

Hey Karen...you're back in minimum security!!! No more classes in sewing bug-eyed stuffed animals. No more guards trapping you in a closet for 22 hours at a time! No more GM vegetables in wierd shapes. No more listening to people scream down the halls at 4 AM. WE are relieved that you are on the outside againn!!! Great seeing you today. Many blessings and peace...moran beannachdan agus sith dhuit!!! [Scottish Gaelic..... Ur Language!!!!!]

Welcome back from the 40 shades of grey demesne. Now more razor wire surrounding....now replaced by the forthcoming darling buds of May and melodious larks harmonising. No more screws waiting outside your door at 7.15pm for lock-up. No more cornflakes,breakfast marmalade ;-) nor belly inflating white bread. No more lack of access to pool tables, gym, library, language classes, chapels, etc.
Blessed are we to have you grace our land.....your land :)))
Bondye avek nou ma petite soeur (Creole French

Do the Catholic Worker group actually support the catholic church?

Do they believe in transubstanciation and other similar hocus pocus peddled by the church?

Do they support the churches position on abortion?

And do the catholic workers try to convert people to catholicism?

Please answer these questions I've asked them before and got no reply.
