You also could have said: "Don't pray for me but accept me as I am."

It said something like that in one of the tracts I sent her, but I wasn't about to say that in a letter. Catholic nuns, in my extensive experience, are never inclined to admit or even consider that they might be wrong in regard to their religious opinions. Trying to reason with a Catholic nun is like trying to nail a slab of Jell-o to a wall.  Dodgy
