I read the article at Drudge I think. Said the Nuns “want to work for an employee that values their work” I thought that was strange...dont they want to work for God/Christ?

Can't argue with you there, I felt the same thing.

Matthew 16:18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Read Revelation. There are several churches that God passes judgement upon. Which one of those is the Catholic church? Surely, if it is "The" church, then God mentions it. Yes?

I know nuns are supposed to be celibate, but these don't look like heterosexual women in any case.

There are quite a few citations in the following article:

http://www.catholicapologetics.info/apologetics/protestantism/origin.htm

I suppose you won’t open it, so, I cited one, but just in general, not expecting you’ll read it:

The office of Pope was founded on the words of Christ: “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter [which means a rock], and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” ( Matthew xvi, 18). The attention of every historian has been attracted by the endurance of the Papacy through centuries that have seen the downfall of every other European institution that existed when the Papacy arose, and of a number of others that have originated and fallen, while it continued t flourish. The Roman Catholic offers these facts as evidence that the Church is not merely a human institution, but that it is built “upon a rock,” (The World Book Encyclopedia © 1940, Page 5730 Volume13)

Here's another example of an order of traditional nuns that is currently experiencing tremendous growth:

   "Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist - Ann Arbor, Michigan" - (expansion page)

   "Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist" - (main page)

(Those Sisters specifically request on their web page that their pictures there not be reused by others, so I urge you just to check their web site to see what they look like in their habits, and read about their impressive growth.)

These journalists know less about the organization of the Church than they do about the constitution

And they hate both. They think they have the power to change it. They think the Pope and the Catholic people have the power to change it.

Wrong. Not even with 2/3 majority

If you depend on The Advocate to get accurate information about Catholics you will be wrong almost all the time.

It's a quote from blazing saddles.

And a lot of so-called missionaries in Guatemala were supporting communist insurgents. I met one pilot who was a laymissionary who quit after he found he wasn't flying medical supplies but guns.

And the leftists never notice that the “insurgents” in Zimbabwe who they funded raped and murdered quite a few missionaries...

I think it's a little biased to say they don't look like heterosexuals. They look like all my mother's sisters at a certain age, and they were married and had families.

However, I think that in general, prominent Evangelical women (preachers, and preachers' wives) tend to have a freer hand with cosmetics, and bigger hair. I don't say that's "as a rule," because there are exceptions. But it's common enough so's you'd notice.

The churches mentioned in Revelation were ALL Catholic churches, just as there is a Catholic church in New York, in Philadelphia, etc. And any particular Catholic church is subject to judgment, condemnation, and destruction.

The Catholic churches in the United States will soon be destroyed, because their bishops have, in large part, taught their people to vote for the murderers of babies. “The Seamless Garment” is the doctrine that, if you elect baby-murderers, you will be governed with wisdom and compassion, and you will have peace, and if you elect those who oppose the murder of babies, the poor will be starved, and you will have nuclear war.

There is no contradiction between the Catholic Church’s claim to be the Church that Jesus promised would last until the end of time, and the condemnation and destruction of many, or even most, or even nearly all, local Catholic churches.

The Catholic churches of the United States will soon be destroyed, just as most American now living will die violently, as planned by those who put “Obama” in power.

Thank you for sharing about the Benedictine Sisters of Erie, IIRC this was home for Sr. Joan Chittister, years ago I attended her workshop on the Rule of Benedict, she was excellent, and I enjoyed her books/tapes on the Psalms, but IIRC she was silenced (?) at some point, and I’ve lost track of her, I guess I’m wondering if she contributed to the situation you describe in Erie...

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

If she's talking about the nuns of the LCWR, most of them are grey haired old women who jumped on the feminist bandwagon and left their Faith behind. Younger women who want the religious life aren't bothering with the 'progressive' orders, because they are not looking for 'women's rights', they're looking for an intimate relationship with our Lord, something the old gray haired women don't have, and maybe never had. So the old orders are dying out, and soon, will be irrelevant.

Quiet a power trip, eh?

Claim everything was Catholic retroactively, and viola, *proof* that the Catholic church existed in the Bible, even though there’s not one single reference in Scripture to the word *Catholic*, *pope*, or any other of a plethora of Catholic words.

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.

Who knew that nuns were an integral part of the fabric that holds society together?

Where would the world be without nuns? A far worse place?

Not likely.

Sheesh........ There's nothing that the Catholic church won't take credit for, is there?

That is not uncommon in all the non-Catholic churches I’ve attended as well.
