that he could recite the Hail Mary. There are things you don’t forget when you have amnesia, like how to read, speak, etc. Knowing a prayer that Catholics know as well as they know their own name would of course not be lost. The only thing that would prove is that he’s Catholic.
Now, I’m wondering, is that the same convent that he and Sami were in during the safe house period (which is why the name was familiar to him?). If so, all they need is to have the nun that knew them see him. But I suppose that would be too simple. BTW, that’s an awfully pretty nun. It’s also a very nice bed and bedding for a convent. They have obviously not taken a vow of poverty. I have those same sheets and they didn’t come from WalMart.
order of Catholic nuns for over 70 years and a sister who was in for 14 years before leaving, there are many Catholics who make donations of money or household goods. I know the nuns take a vow of poverty, but they also accept any donations that are made to them. Many times they will forward the donations to a family who is in need; but, there are times when the donation is kept for the members of the convent. It all depends on the needs at the time it is given.
only the quality. Like the bedding and the other things in the room. Maybe it was a room just reserved for guests to the convent but I certainly couldn’t have been a nun’s room. I know they don’t live in abject poverty but that was just a little too plush IMO.
then it is probably the room they use for visitors. Didn’t Sami go to the convent to be alone and think at one point?
I vividly remember my grandmother, who was severely afflicted with the disease, not being able to recognize anyone or any event in the present, but if you asked her to sing a song from the 20’s or 30’s, she could sing it from beginning to end and never miss a word.
when he had his stroke. He couldn’t speak a word but he could sing songs. The doc said that’s because that used a different part of the brain other than what was affected by the stroke. We tried to get him to sing responses to our questions but he couldn’t do that. I guess he was only able to recall the songs, not put his thoughts in song.
