Why Edith Stein? I don't question that the ideas that you atiutbrte to her are really hers. But how and why was she into this? Wasn't she the Jewish woman who became a philosopher, then converted to Catholicism, them became a nun and was then put to death by the Nazi's? It just seems strange that a celibate, cloistered nun would care about normal women of the world.
