The Mother House of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet is just down the road from where I reside, in upstate NY. A few years ago, they offered a Good Friday reflection on the emergence of a seedling from soil. They now work with contractors to build homes for seniors and use those profits to fund their works.

Reprimanding those not following church doctrine is a misuse of power? Why don’t they just end their affiliation with that church and everyone is happy?

This goes for any group within any church, by the way.

Sounds like they'd be more comfortable as Unitarian/Universalist “nuns”.

How are their vocations doing? I would guess that this issue of communities in opposition to the magisterium would self-resolve in about 10-20 years.

Sister, you’re fired. Your agenda is now scorched. Go be chatty with Anita Dunn types, the only crowd left who is even remotely interested in your chest beating and complaints.

These “nuns” are Marxists who infiltrated the Church to tear it down from within. Same with the homosexuals. The Pope is correct. These women are stupid and indoctrinated into Marxist ideology and can not even understand simple Natural Laws.

Any logical person, and theologian, knows that Marxist ideology-—the elimination of the Natural Family and killing babies and stealing private property is against ALL moral codes—not just the Catholic Church. Charity can’t be practiced by governments. They steal. Charity depends on freedom which only Capitalism and Free Markets and Virtuous people can create. History proves this. (Oh yes, these women are too stupid to observe history).

The Pope needs to clean house.

Our wonderful young new priest gave a lovely homily about these nuns today and discussed the pruning of the vine to make it stronger. I say it’s about time!

>>”We help with the Occupy movement and the right-to-choice movements.”

What level of depravity has been reached when anyone would think it's acceptable for Catholic nuns to help with the 'right-to-choice' movement? And what level of insanity has been reached when all these people are shocked that the Vatican has a problem with these nuns?

Even aside from all the asinine things this woman says, I look into her eyes and see no holiness or humility, only pride and arrogance. Sister, you are in my prayers.

As a rule, Sister Brigid McDonald tries not to pay too much attention to papal pronouncements, but Pope Benedict XVI’s recent decision to rein in American nuns, found by a Vatican investigation to harbor “radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith,” caught her attention.

That little nugget contains everything you need to know about the good sister and her heretic sect.

We help with the Occupy movement and the right-to-choice movements.

You can't be Catholic and pro-abortion. Thou shalt not commit murder.

These are not the Nuns I grew up with, who took their vows to obey.

These women have no intention of obeying , Not the Pope ,not the Bible, not God himself.

They should have left the Convent when they started to believe in feminismas a priority to their initial calling.

They have allowed themselves to become feminazi’s, not Nuns.

How are their vocations doing?

Just visited both sites (NY and MO) and find nothing about vocations. Perhaps they have given up.
