GOING..........
Yes. I still call him Ratzinger. That fits him better. But that is just a personal bias.
GOING..........
I think it is pretty impossible for us to all change our beliefs on these issues to coincide with his beliefs. That sounds impossible.
WHATTT.....
I see the bishops and priests don't get updated in theology. They are still back, for an expression, with Noah's ark.
GOING.......
I always say, Jesus never said worship me, he said follow me, so that is what I am trying to do.
WHATTTTT......
I mean, like, excommunication? That is a thing of the past. You can't excommunicate hundreds of nuns.
GOING.......
Wouldn't that be kind of funny? Excommunicate the whole order! It is irrational. I don't know what other consequences there would be.
GONE...................
GET OUT OF OUR CHURCH YOU FAKE, PHONY AND FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOUR ATTTAAA HERE!!!
YOUR NOT EVEN IN THE BALLPARK!!!!!!!!!
WHY DO PEOPLE STAY IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE. LIARS!!
SISTER BRIGID MCDONALD =noun 2. a person who adopts subversive principles or policies.
But Pope Benedict STILL is her senior. He is 85 and looks a lot better than her 80. LOL!
Hooray for the Holy Father.
I wanted JPII to do this kind of thing.

What weed then smoke it. That sister looks like some old time pot smokers back in the day.
I dedicate this Song to Dear Sister Brigid!
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone..............................
...dood. Trainload. At least a trainload...
I've seen it right here in the Ann Arbor area of all places. The Dominicans here are traditional and also very active in their support of life.
AMEN!!
She looks angry and miserable. Repentance would give her peace in her last years. I’ve met a number of lovely religious men and women in recent months: Franciscans of Perpetual Adoration, a Benedictine brother who told me every day in Belmont Abbey was a total joy, and just yesterday, brothers of the Missionaries of Charity.
One brother, a Kenyan who had previously been posted in Jamaica and Uganda, had never been up-close with northern European types. He asked if my little boys were sick, because he could see their veins through their skin! I assured him they were in excellent health - “Look at them eat!” - just naturally pale!
Sorry, that was Missionaries of the Poor, Father Ho-Lung’s order. We also have Missionaries of Charity here, but I have not visited their foundation.
Unless she repents and stops promoting evil there is most assuredly a place in hell with her name on it
Well, lady, if you don't buy into the theology, stop using the brand to promote your own. If you want to do your own thing, become a Quaker. Or start your own church. Even if I own a McDonald's franchise, I can't decide to start putting alligator meat on the menu just because I think it is healthier than hamburger.
In this case, I think an analogy of removing noxious weeds to keep it from choking and killing the vine would be more appropriate.
exactly
The Leadership Conference was set up by the Vatican, and it has always been under the auspices of the Vatican, so what did they expect? If they are teachers of the Faith, doesn't it make sense that the Vatican would be interested in making sure that what they proclaim publicly comports with Scripture and Church teaching?
Might not even take that long. Sr. Brigid is 75, and I don't believe there are many in her order who are much younger than she. Since the 1980's, and the nuns started getting into the 'Social Justice' arena, and moving away from Church teachings, they haven't had much in the way of novices. Why would a young woman with a desire for a religious vocation be drawn to that?
The Communities of Religious Women that have been growing since the 80s are the ones that have stayed close to the Church, and several new Orders have begun in just the last 10 years, or so. Most of the Sisters wear habits, some less elaborate than others, but it's clear that they love God, and want to serve Him. Unlike their elder sisters, they don't seem to consider teaching and nursing demeaning.
Love It.
