Thanks! Keep airsick bags handy, that "nun" is an NINO!

They call her an "advocate for womens' ordination" ... they must be getting paid by the word ... "heretic" is much more succinct.

But her outspoken ways challenge any tired stereotypes of women religious *chuckle*
If there's a stereotypical example of a modern nun, Sr. Joan Chittister is it.

three great streams of change: Vatican II, Vietnam and the women's movement Notice that she's stuck in the 1960s?

###"So why, half a century after her first vows, is she still a sister?"###
Normally I would say, "I would have to work for a living"
Instead I say, pray for her and her followers.

I would think she turned in her habit for a mini skirt at the time.

Heeheehee! I look and her and I think of yet another example of why my Catholic friends kept telling me when I was Anglican that I was more Catholic than most US Catholics! Shoot, I think I was more Catholic than her and her kind when I was Messianic Jewish in the 1980s-early 1990s and when I was Baptist when I was a child! Yeeeeeeesh! Don't these fossils ever retire and go away quietly?!?!? (rhetorical question) They are as buzzy and annoying as yellow jackets at a picnic!

"I can't not be Catholic!" she exclaims, calling her church a "treasure house" of culture, history, tradition and discipline that "develops the soul."
And reading what seems to be an utter lack of humility on Joan's part, this statement should follow: "...of course, the Church has been doing it all wrong for over two thousand years now, so I'm here to set them straight!".
You know how we have FR prayer threads? We should compile/contribute a list of names (including Sister Joan) and bump the thread every so often; without prayers, people like this will remain hopelessly misguided, imho. Pax et bonum.

Misguided as she is, she especially needs our prayers.
Pray that she turns away from her dissent, and finds the Truth of the Catholic faith that she has been dissenting from these many years.

Joanie's in for a rude awakening during her particular judgment.

Ahhhhhh ... it didn't take you long to discover a major catholic dissenter, so 'well respected' by the world! And the liberal elements within the church supports each other. Chittester's book is endorsed by (former) Archbishop Rembert Weakland. He's so modest that he set up his own web site. This, after destroying the Milwaukee Cathedral.

. . . oooooof! . . .
I don't rag on people for being ugly, but she is DELIBERATELY ugly. She has no care for her appearance.
Whatever happened to all those lovely, calm-faced, bandbox-neat religious who smelled of starch and soap?

:) When I first heard of this "sister", I was still Anglican. I picked up one of her works a few years ago just out of curiosity. Within reading one chapter, it was clear that she was what I call a "romanized episcopagan" and no real Catholic and into the trash went her tome! I told a Catholic friend of mine about my discovery and he told me I'd hit one of the three major mother lodes of dissent, the "sister" herself, "fr." Greeley, and "fr." McBrien. Learned back then that I'd have to do the filtering thing with Catholic works and authors, just as I had to do when I was Evangelical and when I was Anglican. As for Weakland and what he did to the Milwaukee Cathedral......nothing but a bloody carpetbagging gentile yankee would do what he did to that place! Talk about "Ugly as Sin!"
To: A.A. Cunningham
Oy vey, give a body warning, already! :) Yeeeeeeesh! What a sight! All these stale 60s leftovers that smoked too much cheap weed in cemetary or wherever they got their "religious education".....all of them look just plain.....
Then look at a picture of Mother Angelica. Maybe she's controversial to some, but she looks good, good as in a beautiful soul that shows in physical looks. Chittister looks like someone who could deck a tattooed biker at a cheap roadhouse dive! Sad.
