Nun Control

[Mitchum]

The Vatican is cracking down on the largest organization of Nuns in the US for being too radically feminist especially in regards to women's healthcare.
The Pope is sending in the Bishops to clean house.

The nuns need to tell Rome to go chit in their mitres. Rome wasted its moral authority in not owning to its pedophile past.

Rep to you for the topic title.

Oh boy, you don't want to mess with nuns. The ones that taught me were pound for pound the most vicious people around. Good teachers though.

Thanks, Mitchum, for your concern. I hadn't seen a Catholic-bashing thread here in at least a week. Somehow you always stoop to the occasion.

[Mitchum]

Show me where I bashed someone. I just posted a link to an interesting article.

I like this quote.

"I don't know any more holy people," Cafardi said of American religious sisters. "I see a lot more holiness in the convents than I see in the chancery."

Go Sisters!!

Never hear about Nuns and scandals. Church has a history of treating women like second class citizens.

A prominent U.S. Catholic nuns group said it was "stunned" that the Vatican reprimanded it for spending too much time on poverty and social justice concerns and not enough on abortion and gay marriage.

In a stinging report on Wednesday, the Vatican said the Leadership Conference of Women Religious had been "silent on the right to life" and had failed to make the "Biblical view of family life and human sexuality" a central plank in its agenda. It accused the group of promoting "certain radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith."

It also reprimanded American nuns for expressing positions on political issues that differed, at times, from views held by American bishops. Public disagreement with the bishops -- "who are the church's authentic teachers of faith and morals" -- is unacceptable, the report said...

Absolutely pathetic. The nuns in the US are trying to make peoples lives better, not worse. Kudos to them. People in poverty can and need to be helped. People who want to be in a same sex marriage don't want or need to be "helped" by the RCC.

Good gosh! They're making a difference where they can and their demented superiors scold them for that?

I think they'll be more subtle than than.

Gotta keep them womenfolk in their place.

This is pretty bad. It's a big (pardon my expression) Witch hunt.
