The Catholic Agitator has published a special edition about Sister Megan Rice, the 83 year old nun, who is currently serving time in prison for the actions that she and other Ploughshares Activists, Michael Walli and Gregory Boertje-Obed took to stop nuclear weapons. They splashed blood against the walls, put up banners and beat hammers “into plowshares” — a biblical reference to Isaiah 2:4, “They shall beat swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.”
Thee Catholic Agitator describes Sister Rice as “The Terrorist Nun” who serves in prison for “crimes of peace.”
Breaking into a sensitive nuclear facility to stage a protest, the three activists were prepared for the worst. “We were very aware that we could have died,” Rice said. They were not killed but found themselves incarcerated.
