Here's where things get interesting. I met Alberto in Toronto just before Charlotte died. Of course we did not know she would die very soon. But I approached him about printing Charlotte's book. I told him that she was alive and well in Napa, CA. He asked where. I only knew it was a senior's home. Anyway, after I said that he got very fidgety. I mentioned a manuscript we had which was FROM CONVENT TO PENTECOST. I wondered if Chick might publish it since Sis Nilah was fearful to get it printed. He said, "A very WELL PREPARED manuscript." I sensed questioning in him as to its authenticity. He wanted nothing to do with it! When I mentioned Sis Nilah had the manuscript, he said priests and nuns are in her church all the time, and that he heard of Nilah's name in the Vatican before he got "saved.". I wound up working with Sis Nilah in Dartmouth, NS, years later for 8 years. Alberto flat-out lied.
He claimed she contacted him before she went missing for one final time after which they figure she was murdered. I actually did not know he claimed Charlotte contacted him before she went missing til years later. No wonder he wanted nothing to do with us since we caught him in a lie.

Re: Rare Sister Charlotte Testimony - tortured nun
I heard people say they were in campmeetings with her ministry and she did indeed show the women in a private meeting her back and all the scars on it.

Re: Rare Sister Charlotte Testimony - tortured nun
Religion is not holiness. Religion states one must do this or that to be right with God. Holiness is us walking in Christ because of Christ's finished work. Religion kills, but holiness is walking as we should because of real relationship and acceptance of God's unmerited favor.

Re: Rare Sister Charlotte Testimony - tortured nun
I’m very sorry I haven’t been around as I have been extremely busy and still am, however I thank you all for your input.
Evidently Charlotte did have scars on her back as so many ladies have testified to it so they can’t possible have made it up, nonetheless it doesn’t and can’t prove that she got those scars in a convent.
As has been suggested there could have been an overlap in census records i.e. at home and in the convent but that evidence does not appear to be available, if someone can find it, it would prove her case true. On the lack of other evidence that could support her case we will have to examine and analyse her story carefully for possible incoherences. Can someone please give me the link to Charlotte’s story which you consider the authentic version and I will go through it in small doses and post here accordingly.
What is truly amazing about this story is that the Church she served for so many years haven’t come forward in all these years to provide the evidence to back up this story. This is a very big “WHY”?
Charlotte wasn't afraid in life to travel around for 14 years telling her story and her written story wasn't to be published until after her death so why wasn't that evidence supplied in her published account?
The following is a small example of so many contradictions in Charlotte’s story
“After the vows were signed all of my personal identification was destroyed”.
All of a sudden she had a legal passport to travel abroad, how can we explain that?
“The next step was my initiation and for this I had to go to my convent. They had my passport all signed and tickets ready to ship me out to a foreign country”.
If she has kin who are willing to come forward and speak out, that would be great and presumable they will be able to contribute factual evidence of her case. If real evidence could be supplied I would rest my case immediately, I only look for an honest investigation of this story as I stated earlier.
That Charlotte’s case is proved true or false does not and could not constitute evidence that every other case of torture we have been told about in the Catholic Church or any other Church for that matter is true or false. As in everything in life each and every case must be examined on its own and can only be believed on the weight of the evidence it provides. Unfortunately, we flawed human beings get carried away very quickly with sensationalism.
I will be back as soon as I can.

Re: Rare Sister Charlotte Testimony - tortured nun
Jacko,
I find it odd that you come hear and only want to talk about this one thread.
No post on anything else. Hmmm. In fact it is kind of creepy.
In fact I had no Idea that this thread existed until it got bumped. I never heard the story.
You though seem very, very interested almost like you are obsessed.
I am not trying to offend you but I just don't get why you care sooo much about this story.
