In Good Conscience
A Film
Tuesday, 16 Oct 2007 at 7:00 pm – Great Hall, Memorial Union
The film In Good Conscience chronicles the true story of Sister Jeannine Gramick, who is defying a Vatican edict that she shut down her compassionate ministry to gay and lesbian Catholics and silence herself permanently on the subject of homosexuality. Her battle takes her all the way to Rome where she attempts an audience with her key adversary over the years - none other than Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger - the Inquisitor, who would become Pope Benedict XVI.Cosponsored By:
