Flat Earth: Nun with a gun
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.REMAINING in Kosovo, you learn all you need to know about attitudes down there when you come across the Web page of Sister Natalia, an Orthodox nun from the US. She recounts her pilgrimage to various Serb Orthodox monasteries in Kosovo, where 90 per cent of the population are Albanian and Muslim.
At Devic monastery the abbess tells Sister Natalia of her recently deceased predecessor, Mother Parasceva. This holy woman had only one arm, but was still able to use the other to shoot at Muslims during their periodic uprisings, when they were apt to try to sack the monastery. If Mrs Albright really wants to send in the Marines to sort things out, she ought to take some Prozac and think again.
