>> To put it in greater perspective, that is a 72% decline since 1965. Gee, I wonder what started happening right around 1965???

Yet would it surprise you that there are traditional orders that are enjoying great growth and after the massive seminary clean up by the Vatican, with a massive crackdown, better priests have been ordained.

Huh? What is Jo smoking? Where has she been? Watching Going My Way, The Song of Bernadette, The Bells of St Marys and Shoes of the Fisherman?

From the article:
Sister Dianna Ortiz made headlines in 1989 when she abducted, tortured and raped while working as a teacher in Guatemala.
Doesn't anyone proofread anymore?

If they are “progressive” and do not support church teaching then they ain’t nuns

What this TIME reporter says is so full of holes and untruths that it would take a reasonable person probably a week to refute it all.
But I will just say a few things. First, the only new nuns are young and conservative. All the "progressives" are old and in dying orders. Who wants to join an order that is not really Catholic when you can just stay in the world and ply your progressive trade freely? So the only orders getting new recruits are the ones who follow Church teaching.
For more than four decades Sister Jeannine Gramick has been tireless in her fight for gay rights through her organization New Ways, despite coming under intense scrutiny from the Vatican.
Sister Jeanne Gramick has spent her entire life with her fist in God's face. She is the sole reason why the Vatican is cracking down on her and her minions.
The person who wrote this article is an idiot.

Sister Dianna Ortiz made headlines in 1989 when she abducted, tortured and raped while working as a teacher in Guatemala. How many people did she abduct, torture and rape? lol

The impression this Baptist has is that the Vatican is cracking down on non-Catholic nuns. I may have theological differences with the Catholic Church, but I can understand why they would want their nuns to be...well, believers!
Why would they want nuns who rejected God?

Nuns like who Jeanne Gramick? Funded by the Church? Convents traditionally exist on money from their own order and donations. I have three friends who became nuns, all conservative. Each one of their orders either make their own money or get donations from friends and family members of the nuns in the convent. To support their convent they will ply a trade like making hosts or vestments. When nearly all Catholic schools had nuns teaching the children a church would provide a place for them to live, essentially room and board in exchange for teaching the children. Historically, monasteries were independent entities that were incorporated. The Church does not fund them.
