[Mrs. Don-o]

What a tangled mess. Almost 1,800 congregations and convents represented here, each with a different story. It would take Solomonic wisdom-- and I can only wonder why this wasn't dealt with on a case-by-case basis by individual bishops over the past 40 years?

It's like weeding out a once-lovely garden which has heirloom roses of irreplaceable beauty, and weeds with taproots the size of your leg.

As I know, eyeing the kudzu in my backyard.

attention everyone: The Vatican is only asking those belonging to the leadership organization to change. That is 1500 women. It does not extend to the orders they belong to and claim to represent, and it probably doesn’t even extend to many of those who belong for various reasons but don’t go along with the ditzy ones.

They are spinning the problem as if all nuns are in trouble, when it’s only 1500 women.
