Hello all,
I'm Christian (and pro-life) and I loved "Dogma". (I'm glad that I didn't accept the half-truths about the film that I read on certain Christian web sites. I'm also pleased that, for the most part, the anticipated theatre protests never materialized as that kind of response only serves to paint every Christian as mindless robots who do whatever the nice man on television/the Internet tells them to do. Like Kevin, I like to think of myself as a thinking man of faith.) I wrote a review of "Dogma" for the Concordia University (Montreal) "Concordian", though I won't find out until this afternoon (when I pick up the paper) whether or not my review was published. I gave it (9/10).
Anyhow, I noticed that the nun who questions her faith right at the beginning of the film was portrayed by Betty Aberlin. Would this happen to be the same Betty Aberlin that was Lady Aberlin in the "Neighborhood of Make-Believe" on "Mister Roger's Neighborhood"? (Y'all no doubt remember, in the court of King Friday XIII (that's "the thirteenth" for those of you in Rio Linda), there were two Ladies: Lady Elaine Fairchild (the puppet with the red shirt and the long nose who lived in the Merry-Go-Round), and Lady ABerlin, the human.)
