“...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).’
Possibly, but there is no denying there is a massive decline in priests and nuns in America, Europe, and elsewhere.

Thanks, Stanne. Good catch!
I love to parse the sly words and combinations of words of the marxist, anti-religion media. In fact it's one of my favorite things to do on FR.
Many of today's MSM journalistas are so cleverly-subtle with words and word-play that it's difficult for the lay person to catch all the bias, propaganda and untruths they sneak into their output.
It used to be one had to read BETWEEN the lines. Today, one has to read and re-read the LINES themselves to get the slanted drift.
The devious hand of old Lucifer himself guides the current creative writing of the agenda-driven contemporary media. Each one of us has to do self-training to analyze words and phrases no matter how minute....and to expose the murky nuances of these evil scribes just as freeper Stanne did in his above post.

So, someone needs to be bled, from believing families- in order for the throne of St. Peter, to continue? Not the draw of Christ? Interesting heresy.
