1. Fr. S couldn't have witnessed her final vows as a Carmelite hermit since he isn't a Carmelite. How can someone who isn't a member of an order welcome someone into that order? Makes no sense. I'm surprised that Fr. didn't know this!!!
2. Why would a hermit need a car?
3. OLHC has a house for the nuns. Why wasn't she there? I believe that there's another nun there being housed & fed.
4. Sr. A's real name is Debbie - can't remember her last name - would have to look it up. Might be Ross?
5. If I remember correctly, she's from Camarillo or some place north of LA. She's divorced & has 2 sons. Is her ex still living? Her sons should have been contacted.
6. She has a long history of coming & going to OLHC. She tried SSPX but didn't last long as she had to work - so I heard. Came back to OLHC & then tried a convent in Chicago - would have to look up the name. It has a mother house in Europe & one in Chicago. Left, came back to OLHC & went to Quito, left & returned to OLHC. Didn't Fr. S visit her there in Quito? I think there was another convent in the mix but I'd have to dig it up. At one point she had her own get-up as a nun - quite the sight!
7. At one point she stayed with a woman in Fountain Valley.
8. So, yes, there's more to this story. Hard to remember all the details.
9. All this was common knowledge FOR YEARS.
