The Great Nunquisition: Why the Vatican Is Cracking Down on Sisters

Today's generation of nuns are progressive women, two things the Church isn't used to

Nuns are an endangered species. They are dying and not being replaced.

If you think the news is bad now, a world without nuns would be a far worse place. The nuns that I know are much too humble to tout their achievements and all of the good they contribute to society, but make no mistake, they are an integral part of the fabric that holds our civilization together.

In 2014 there were just 49,883 religious Catholic sisters in the United States, down 13% percent from 2010 according to figures from the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate. To put it in greater perspective, that is a 72% decline since 1965.

IIRC, there had not yet been any schisms at the time Revelation was written. Therefore all Christian churches were Catholic.

By that response, you say that all Christians today who are not Catholic are not sons and daughters of Jesus Christ. The Word was revealed to John as it will be. Revelation is God's plan, and applies to tomorrow and today. It is not bound to history. It was prophecy. The Book of Revelation is God's revealed Word. If His comments to the churches only apply to Catholics (as you say), then those who say they are saved by Jesus Christ and the Gospel are not really His.

I owe her a grat deal because she was very kind to me, personally. But at the time I'm referencing 70's and early 80's) she ruined the Benedictine prayer life by neutering all the pronouns ("The Great Pronoun Reformation")--- couldn't even say "Our Father."

The attack on the attack on the paternalism of God's character was, and is, an attack on God Himself.

God is above sex and gender. He created us, male and female. But the Scriptures refer to Him as He. Moreover, Jesus Christ (who is God incarnate) came to this world, born of woman, but live His life as a man. He was tortured, and died for our sins as a man.

Feminists are nothing but haters of God Himself.

Thanks for you comments, and take care.

Thank you for your reply regarding Sr. Joan, while I do not agree with her feminism & I could not follow her today, she was part of my spiritual journey, and for that I will always be grateful! Blessings, HK
