I disagree. She looks like a personable individual but her attire does not project the image of a religious sister. Perhaps you caught Fr. Benedict Groeschel last night. He provided statistics to support his statement that those religious communities that chose to abandon the habit and embrace liberal socialism, are failing.

What does that picture actually say about this woman? Words speak louder than images, yet how many Americans fell prey to an image of the smiling Barak Obama and bought into his "hope and change" campaign.

It says that, although she claims to be a sister in Catholic religious order, she does not present herself in a matter traditionally associated with such communities.

In XXI Century America, that fact speaks volumes. Show me even one example of a vowed religious community which rejected the tradition of uniform and distinctive garb, but which remains faithful to the Church.

Of course they would fail; you don’t need to be a nun to live as a lesbian activist. I’m surprised at some of the positions staffed by “progressive” nuns today; hardly seem like religious callings.
