Keep homosexuals away from all children. Politically incorrect, but wise.

Nuns could be extremely authoritarian. As Catholic school teachers in the Bronx, back in the 50’s, they would use long wooden rulers as ‘teaching aids’. Very effective, I am not joking.

Yeah, that *would* explain why the Cunninghams rarely mentioned Chuck...

Do you remember the wooden clickers used when we had to genufleck before entering the pews?
Oh yes, I remember those rulers.

First of all, she’s not a nun. She’s a “sister” — nuns are cloistered. Second of all, she’s not wearing a habit which indicates she’s from a liberal order. Thus, this is not in the least bit surprising.

To this day I genuflect as I cross each aisle of pews and before I enter the pew. Also make the sign of the cross as I drive past any RC Church. They made me a good-little-soldier in my mid sixties.

I attended Catholic grade school , high school and college and after a lifetime of being a Catholic, I don’t attend church anymore........too many priest pedophiles and now this. Organized religion lends itself to abuse. Religion is a personal thing between you and your God.

The liberalization of the overall social order is what lends itself to abuse. The United States could not have been founded by men who maintained a strictly “personal” relationship with God.

I do the very same to this day,not out of fear but out of genuine reverence.I went to Catholic schools,including a Catholic boarding school when my mother was very sick,and the nuns were certainly strict (some more than others) but I was never "abused"...physically,psychologically or sexually.Yes,I suppose I feared some of them to a degree but *today* the only thing I fear is God's judgment.That's the main reason I try (with only partial success) to live a good,decent life.

...too many priest pedophiles and now this. Although it certainly shouldn't have happened at all we're only talking about 1 or 2 percent of priests and nuns. Sounds like you "scare" pretty easily.

The pedophilia rate among clergy is the same as in the general population.
But pretend like it's not so you can be indignantly outraged.

Grogan (62) pleaded not guilty 63 times for each of the charges. Well, that seems a bit excessive.
What is 63 squared anyway?
