The Tablet published this photo of the sisters leading a prayer service in multi-colored “vestments”

But they won't wear habits.

Ladies, as a fraternity alum, I can tell you there’s a limit to how long you can tell Nationals to go fly a kite before they start orbiting the thing around your position and dropping bombs.

Religious life...is always a radical response to the Gospel

I'm guessing she doesn't know or accept what the real gospel is and that her I deal of 'radical response' is something well outside of normal Christian life.

Unfortunately the rack, public drawing and quartering and burning heretics at the stake have gone out of fashion. Oh well, given the near total lack of recruiting postulants into these old Stalinized orders and the very advanced age of the old blue hairs, this bunch will be dead in twenty years and the Church can decide whether it is worth the effort to revive these orders by recruiting young and actually Catholic. Personally, I think they will not be missed.

...so may we recognize that our journey only really begins when we die to self, to ego, to winning.

Apparently their prayers have not been answered.

They revel in self, ego and winning.

The Screamee Memes

It’s Time For…The Gong Show–The Unauthorized Catholic Version (Gong Show Host Chuck Barris): In honor of the keynote speaker at last week’s Assembly of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), please welcome FATHER WHATShisNAME & THE QUESTIONABLE HABITS, with their dramatic interpretation of quotes from the works of Barbara Marx Hubbard! (THE QUESTIONABLE HABITS): “I am an 82 year old visionary enjoying Regenopause 2. Regenopause 1 is from 50 to 80 and beyond. I feel I am here to be a voice for the Collective Emergence of Humanity as Co-Creative Universal Species!” (FATHER WHATShisNAME): “Whatever we are going through is part of the Planetary Struggle to Evolve.” (THE QUESTIONABLE HABITS): “By understanding Evolution as the Expression of Universal Intelligence, Now Becoming Conscious of Itself Within Us, and As Us, we overcome the dichotomy between current evolutionists who see no design in evolution, and creationists who often propose an anthropomorphic God as Creator.” (THE QUESTIONABLE HABITS): “Transformationally motivated people are the Growing Edge of a Great Continuity of Souls Reaching Back to the Very Earliest Times.” (FATHER WHATShisNAME): “So, the Path of the Co-Creator is to be Awakened Spiritually Within, Which Then Turns into Your Own DEEPER LIFE PURPOSE, Which Then Makes You Want to Reach Out and Touch Others in a Way that Expresses Self and REALLY EVOLVES OUR COMMUNITIES AND OUR WORLD. Certainly, we can’t do that unless we Activate Ourselves First.”(THE QUESTIONABLE HABITS): “All who choose not to evolve will DIE OFF: Their souls will begin again within a Different Planetary System which will serve as Kindergarten for the Transition from Self-Centered to WHOLE-CENTERED BEING. The Kindergarten Class of Earth will be over.” (THE QUESTIONABLE HABITS): “I heard the words coming forth from The Cosmos: Our Story is a Birth of a Universal Humanity…What Christ and all the Avatars came to earth to reveal is TRUE. We Are All Members Of This One Body. Go tell the Story of the Birth of a Universal Humanity, Barbara.” (Gong Show Judges): GONG! GONG! GONG! (Gong Show Host Chuck Barris): “How could you do that? How could you Gong such an interesting act? I really, really like the works of Barbara Marx Hubbard. But then again, I also really, really like Irritable Bowel Syndrome.”(Gong Show Host Chuck Barris): “Let’s ask another priest. Tell me what you think, Father. According to a recent study by the National Religious Vocation Conference, the median age of women in LCWR institutes is 74. How could our judges Gong a bunch of Sweet Old Ladies like that?” (Another Priest): “Well, I’m sure they didn’t want to do it, Chuck, After all, the nuns represented by the LCWR have spent decades performing Countless Acts of Corporal Mercy…” (Another Priest): “…but in my opinion, it appears that in their later years, a number of the Sisters have developed a Narcissistic Need for Personal and Public Affirmation that has left them susceptible to the Self-Worshipping NEW AGE DRIVEL of people like Barbara Marx Hubbard.” (Another Priest): “Of course, that’s just a guess. I suppose there’s any number of reasons for Otherwise Good People to slip into the Age Old Sin of Gnosticism, which as Pope John-Paul II pointed out in his book `Crossing the Threshold of Hope`, is pretty much all the New Age Movement has ever been.” (Gong Show Host Chuck Barris): “A thoughtful response, Father. Me, I was just gonna suggest that they were Gonged for spewing a bunch of Nonsensical Gobbldeygook written by someone who probably took too many tokes off a bong while watching a Community Theater production of `Hair`.” (Gong Show Host Chuck Barris): “Thank you, Father. But we have to be moving along. And now for…wait, what’s that music? Oh, my! Forget all about those Ornery Octogenarians and their Oprah-Like Opining! That music can only mean it’s time for some Dissident Nonsense we can all enjoy…” (Gong Show Host Chuck Barris): “It’s time for Gene Gene the Liturgical Dancing Machine!!!” The B-Movie Catechism apologizes for all the forty year old cultural references, but hey, we are ribbing the Wackier Elements of the LCWR after all, so we wanted to make sure they would understand.

What’s the big deal? Another group of Catholics that don’t like the fact that Catholicism is established on what bishops, cardinals and Popes of the past see as Absolute Truth. So instead of just leaving the church and finding a community of faith to flourish in, these fine sisters have decided to stay and make everyone else in the Catholic church bend to their whining and complaining that they don’t like Absolute Truth. Kinda like Progressives, Socialists, Marxists and every other registered Democrat in this country when you get right down to it. They hate the Constitution, they hate the rule of law, they hate free speech when it contradicts their politically correct world view, and they absolutely hate anything remotely connected to Christianity and it’s Christ. But instead of just dividing the country and making their own states with all the laws and regulations that would make their heart content, they have decided in their unimaginative brains to make all the rest of us suffer interminably by having to live with their self induced insanity right with beside them every long, insufferable day in and day out.
