I Was A "Charity Case"

Karl Schudt thinks he has it bad.

Today he reminisces about the Adrian Dominicans who shaped him in his formative years. He laments what has become of them.

Like most of the Catholic schoolchildren in Archdiocese of Cincinnati, I was educated in grade school by the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, founded 150 years ago this year, when seven sisters left Mother Seton's original Emmitsburg location for "the Queen City of the West." I have come across a few scenes from their recent sesquicentennial convention. I direct your attention to the scene in the lower right hand corner. I thought liturgical dance was bad enough; did we ever think it could come to THIS???
