Praise Godr such strong and obvious signs!

Those “feminist” convents have been spiritually dead for decades, have been absolutely barren (except for their subsidized organic gardens), and are now dying a bitter cold death with abosulutely no heirs.

This parallels the journey of their secular contemporaries who have likewise been spiritually dead for decades, have been absolutely barren due to their careerism, lesbianism and contraception, and are now dying a bitter cold death with abosulutely no heirs.

Fr. Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R., wrote about this at one time. What he pointed out was that history shows that when a religious order decays, it is usually not possible to save it. Instead, a new religious order steps in and takes its place, as is the case with his Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. This has happened a number of times in the long history of the Church. The Discalced Carmelites took the place formerly occupied by the Carmelites. Solemnes renewed the decaying Benedictine order, and so forth.
