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.

###"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 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.

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.
