Morgantown nun Sister Janet Marie Peterworth says Americans misread the Irish war as religious in origin and urges focus on economic oppression of Catholics. She led 25 women from 16 states to Belfast to support peace efforts and financially aid peace centers. The group met checkpoints, noted IRA vows, and urged viewing the conflict beyond American perspectives.
