US nuns are a bunch of left wing nutz. They have adopted every liberal cause there is and its high time the Vatican show them them some discipline.

B16 is so much more conservative than JP2.

He may be old and physically exhausted, but he ain’t no pushover.

“Freud would call it Chalice Envy”

Chalices are concave and therefore symbolically feminine. That should be crooked staff envy, or something.

I know I will catch hell for this post but what it appears like to me is that while the Church is trying to get rid of the pedophiles and homosxual priests, the Bull Dyke nuns are gaining in power.

It’s time they either dropped out of the convent and sought real jobs or regain the faith they have lost.

“B16 is so much more conservative than JP2.”

I remember when JP2 died, and people asked me what name his successor would take. I thought it might be Pius XIII, and assured them it would not be JP3 - we couldn’t have another 25 years like that.

Relations between the LCWR and the Vatican have been stormy since 1971

Quite correct. This showdown has been 40 years in the making. This is, as Ronald Reagan would say, a Time for Choosing which side we are on.

Yes, exactly. I am not Catholic but I greatly admire this Pope. It seems to me that lesbians are dominating the orders and want to be given free housing etc. while propagating their Gaia faith.

My aunt was a nun. She just passed away. The last time she visited, my dad said (when she left the room after lecturing us about giving everything to the poor, my dad said....."get a job".

I have no doubt...she was a communist.

Paul Vi was the most liberal pope we have ever had. And if you think that John Paul II was loved by liberals, you surely don’t remember the 1979 confrontation between him and the leader of the LCWR, nor his efforts to get the Jebbies under control, no rejection of liberation theology Without him, there would be no Ratzinger, no catechism. Politically, all the recent popes have been more liberal than an old fashioned Democrat like Sam Rayburn or Lyndon Johnson, except with respect to Marxism. Theologically, all incuding Pope Paul, have been conservative.

It seems to me that good Pope Benedict has been known as the “Enforcer.” I expect he will live up to that with the renegade nuns. Many good people and *good nuns* are praying for this situation.

Not all of them are nutz.

There is an order in Alabama and one in Maryland that is bursting with young ladies who want to serve God through serving others. On one of the link threads is a picture of them vs. the old dying off, nutzy, numn.

The Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) is a radical group promoting the Marxist doctrine of Social Justice. It has recently angered American Bishops by siding with the Obama Regime with the health care mandate on contraception. This group will also be working with the Spring 2012 Occupy Movement. Kathleen Desautels, Sisters of Provedence and Liz Deligio, Social Justice Director FSPA — Staff of 8th Day Center for Justice are cited as working with the SCWR for the Occupiers on their web site.

It is my opinion that the LCWR is a Communist effort to infiltrate the Roman Catholic Church and destroy it. Bravo to the Vatican to take this fight to the enemy.

Thank you for your important links. They will tell the story of the effort to destroy the Catholic Church’s opposition to the moral drift the Left is taking our nation.
