Frankly, at this point, I think these women should just be ignored. They are aging, and not very gracefully, and they derive much pleasure from being able to stick it to the 'man', that is the Vatican, and the traditional Church. They don't care that what they do confuses Catholics, they live only for themselves and what they 'feel'.

Let them stew in their own juice, and they will die off after a few years, because they are certainly not attracting any young women to their religious orders.

The Screamee Memes

It’s Time For…The Gong Show–The Unauthorized Catholic Version (Gong Show Host Chuck Barris): In honor of the keynote speaker at last week’s Assembly of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), please welcome FATHER WHATShisNAME & THE QUESTIONABLE HABITS, with their dramatic interpretation of quotes from the works of Barbara Marx Hubbard! (THE QUESTIONABLE HABITS): “I am an 82 year old visionary enjoying Regenopause 2. Regenopause 1 is from 50 to 80 and beyond. I feel I am here to be a voice for the Collective Emergence of Humanity as Co-Creative Universal Species!” (FATHER WHATShisNAME): “Whatever we are going through is part of the Planetary Struggle to Evolve.” (THE QUESTIONABLE HABITS): “By understanding Evolution as the Expression of Universal Intelligence, Now Becoming Conscious of Itself Within Us, and As Us, we overcome the dichotomy between current evolutionists who see no design in evolution, and creationists who often propose an anthropomorphic God as Creator.” (THE QUESTIONABLE HABITS): “Transformationally motivated people are the Growing Edge of a Great Continuity of Souls Reaching Back to the Very Earliest Times.” (FATHER WHATShisNAME): “So, the Path of the Co-Creator is to be Awakened Spiritually Within, Which Then Turns into Your Own DEEPER LIFE PURPOSE, Which Then Makes You Want to Reach Out and Touch Others in a Way that Expresses Self and REALLY EVOLVES OUR COMMUNITIES AND OUR WORLD. Certainly, we can’t do that unless we Activate Ourselves First.”(THE QUESTIONABLE HABITS): “All who choose not to evolve will DIE OFF: Their souls will begin again within a Different Planetary System which will serve as Kindergarten for the Transition from Self-Centered to WHOLE-CENTERED BEING. The Kindergarten Class of Earth will be over.” (THE QUESTIONABLE HABITS): “I heard the words coming forth from The Cosmos: Our Story is a Birth of a Universal Humanity…What Christ and all the Avatars came to earth to reveal is TRUE. We Are All Members Of This One Body. Go tell the Story of the Birth of a Universal Humanity, Barbara.” (Gong Show Judges): GONG! GONG! GONG! (Gong Show Host Chuck Barris): “How could you do that? How could you Gong such an interesting act? I really, really like the works of Barbara Marx Hubbard. But then again, I also really, really like Irritable Bowel Syndrome.”(Gong Show Host Chuck Barris): “Let’s ask another priest. Tell me what you think, Father. According to a recent study by the National Religious Vocation Conference, the median age of women in LCWR institutes is 74. How could our judges Gong a bunch of Sweet Old Ladies like that?” (Another Priest): “Well, I’m sure they didn’t want to do it, Chuck, After all, the nuns represented by the LCWR have spent decades performing Countless Acts of Corporal Mercy…” (Another Priest): “…but in my opinion, it appears that in their later years, a number of the Sisters have developed a Narcissistic Need for Personal and Public Affirmation that has left them susceptible to the Self-Worshipping NEW AGE DRIVEL of people like Barbara Marx Hubbard.” (Another Priest): “Of course, that’s just a guess. I suppose there’s any number of reasons for Otherwise Good People to slip into the Age Old Sin of Gnosticism, which as Pope John-Paul II pointed out in his book `Crossing the Threshold of Hope`, is pretty much all the New Age Movement has ever been.” (Gong Show Host Chuck Barris): “A thoughtful response, Father. Me, I was just gonna suggest that they were Gonged for spewing a bunch of Nonsensical Gobbldeygook written by someone who probably took too many tokes off a bong while watching a Community Theater production of `Hair`.” (Gong Show Host Chuck Barris): “Thank you, Father. But we have to be moving along. And now for…wait, what’s that music? Oh, my! Forget all about those Ornery Octogenarians and their Oprah-Like Opining! That music can only mean it’s time for some Dissident Nonsense we can all enjoy…” (Gong Show Host Chuck Barris): “It’s time for Gene Gene the Liturgical Dancing Machine!!!” The B-Movie Catechism apologizes for all the forty year old cultural references, but hey, we are ribbing the Wackier Elements of the LCWR after all, so we wanted to make sure they would understand.

“Nuns” (actually, they are not nuns, they are religious sisters) in chasubles (which is men’s clothing), giving a “blessing” (which is impossible, since they are not priests).

Obviously, the Vatican strategy is simply wait until they are all dead, which should be in about ten years.
