Meet and Converse Meme

I got this meme from Lair of the Catholic Caveman.

If you could meet and have a deep conversation with any five people on earth, living or dead, from any time period, who would they be?" (Explaining why is optional.)

Name five people from each of the following categories:

Saints
1) Jesus (I know He's not really a "saint" but I couldn't leave Him out!)
2) Mary
3) Saint Therese the Little Flower
4) Saint Peter--I would love to find out what he's really like.
5) Saint Gemma

Those being Canonized
1) John Paul II
2) Mother Teresa
3) Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha
4) Servant of God Claire de Castelbajac--Just read about her today on Shrine of the Holy Whapping.
5) Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

1) Lincoln
2) Washington
3) FDR
4) Eleanor Roosevelt

Dymphna's favorite quotes


"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
