Religious nun has divine inspiration

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.

The problem really goes back to what happened after Vatican II. Many convents were decimated because some used Vatican II as a reason to "breath new spirit into the Church." Problem is some people had no idea what spirit they were letting in.
What the Vatican is doing is correct. What you are hearing from Gramick and the author of the Time article are really some of the last gasps of that spirit as it is being ripped out of the Church.
I was shocked, the education was first rate, the political indoctrination was not. I went to schools in MT, WA, and ID and never saw any thing like it.
“...the Church isn’t used to”
Time Magazine is in typical liberal media form here.
First, the Church doesn’t get used to things, people in 2,000 years, many Catholics included, have not gotten used to The Church.
This article is a push for the Vatican to get with it.
These nuns can do whatever they want, but when what they do is against Catholic teaching, they can simply call themselves something else, but not Catholic.
That’s all.
Vocations to the religious life are not dying out. There are vocations, and the ones which are growing are those in which there is a devotion and obedience to the faith.
Here’s something Time did not report, and will not report:
“Archbishop Chaput has said something similar in the past. The vocation crisis is actually those no longer answering the call to authentic marriage. He says that if that is fixed then religious and priestly vocations will increase. Basically religious and clerical vocations are often from strong, devout Catholic families so strengthening marriage and the family will lead to those that aren’t afraid to answer their vocation (what ever it may be).’
This group strongly attacked Pope John Paul II and allied themselves with the homosexual network within the church in the from the 1970s until the present.
Most of the convents these nuns got control of closed and their orders greatly declined. Most of the Sisters under their supervision left the vocation.
There are a large number of retired nuns. They are supported by their orders and are no longer active.
There are orders that still follow and support the true teachings of the Catholic Church. These are active, strong and rapidly growing. They have no access to the MSM and most in the MSM and the country as a whole don't even know they exist.
For decades the Sisters served as teachers, nurses and many other professions. They provided great support the their church and their communities. They were devout, holy, caring women.
Progressive nuns and progressive Catholics can all become Protestants. There are 35,000 of those Protestant choices on the menu and they are free to pick and choose according to their individual tastes, likes, and dislikes.
Absolutely.
If you’ve abandoned tradition, you’ve abandoned the bible. And embraced a fable.
Give it a rest sport, nobody here is attacking Catholicism. In fact, I’ve seen posts here from non catholics being supportive.
Don't get me wrong, I think she is correct on so many things, it is just that......well....hard to explain.
Thanks Biggirl. Do you have a link for that?
The homosexual "Catholic" organizations are more vocal than than any others, and there are a lot them.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
And now the Catholic leader is Pope Francis.
On Gay Priests, Pope Francis Asks, ‘Who Am I to Judge?’
In fact, he told the Advocate, a homosexual publication, that he would not "judge" homosexual behavior, and they rewarded him with a magazine cover.

Yes, He is. Praise Jesus Christ.
Possibly, but there is no denying there is a massive decline in priests and nuns in America, Europe, and elsewhere.
The Church isn’t used to women? How did little baby Catholics get here? (Yes, I know we are pagans until baptism)
"Stampeding cattle." "Through the Vatican." "Kinky!"
