Calif. Woman Charged With Scamming $285,000 From Nuns
By Allan Lengel - AOL NewsA California woman may have to answer to a higher authority -- a federal judge, that is -- after being charged with scamming a group of nuns out of $285,000 and using the money to pay for items such as lingerie and pet sitting. The FBI today arrested Linda Rose Gagnon, 57, of Tustin, on three counts of wire fraud for allegedly swindling a group of nuns at the U.S. Province of the Religious of Jesus & Mary Inc. in Rhode Island in a real estate scam. Authorities say Gagnon operated the California-based Rose Enterprise Inc., a company she claimed helped clients with delinquent mortgages and ...

Both camps are strongly anti-abortion, mind you, yet read the reform differently on that issue. The split along gender lines -- an echo of the old Catholic school system of seating the girls on one side of the room and the boys on the other -- is certainly nothing new; in fact, women have been challenging their brothers in Christ at least as far back as Catherine of ...
Abortion Language in Health Bill Pits Catholic Against Catholic
By David Gibson - Politics DailyDemocratic leaders and faith-based supporters of health care reform on Thursday stepped up their campaign to convince the public -- and perhaps a few pro-life House members whose votes are critical to passage -- that the legislation does not fund abortions and in fact would reduce abortions. "I will be 81 years old in September. Certainly at this point in my life I'm not going to change my mind and support abortion and I'm not going to risk my eternal salvation," Rep. Dale Kildee (D-Mich.), a Catholic and staunch opponent of abortion, told reporters on a conference call organized by Faith in ...
