Bonavoglia said, noting that 82 percent of paid lay parish ministers in the United States are women and that women also represent 70 percent of the members of the National Association of Catholic Chaplains.
Yes, and heaven help the parishes that are run by these feminists nuns...
Many lay parish ministers are devout women, but alas too many are ultra feminists who teach our children nonsense, run services where we sing hymns to ourselves, and other nonsense.
Two anecdotes.
One hospital "chaplain" bragged to me that she had taken a bioethics class in Georgetown and went on to describe how they justified not feeding a child with Down's syndrome...she didn't appreciate when I said that perhaps instead they should have taught why we should see such a child as precious to GOd and to be protected...she also didn't believe in confession...when I asked how could we be forgiven our sins, she shrugged and said that few people really did bad things...duh. She should work in my office and see all the people who confess terrible things to me looking for forgiveness...
Second, I had one woman with cancer where the visiting nuns would do spiritual massage for her pain...when I pointed out that the appropriate thing was to tell me she was having pain so I could readjust her medicine, and to stick to religion, they were insulted...they thought a seven day conference made them doctors...
Finally, I stopped being an organist in one church when I refused to play a hymn celebrating our "diversity"...
She truly exemplifies what (then) Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger mentioned in his Pro Eligendo homily.
"How many winds of doctrine have we known in recent decades, how many ideological currents, how many ways of thinking. The small boat of the thought of many Christians has often been tossed about by these waves - flung from one extreme to another: from Marxism to liberalism, even to libertinism; from collectivism to radical individualism; from atheism to a vague religious mysticism; from agnosticism to syncretism and so forth. Every day new sects spring up, and what St Paul says about human deception and the trickery that strives to entice people into error (cf. Eph 4: 14) comes true. "
Thanks to the "I'm Okay, You're Okay" generation, we are now sinless. Several years ago, trying to make sense of personal tragedy, I sought the guidance of a professional psychotherapist, a nun who is Director of Counseling for the Laity in this diocese. She determined that I was a "victim of the Catholic Church". My jaw dropped.
God bless you!
What the..? OMG!
when I asked how could we be forgiven our sins, she shrugged and said that few people really did bad things...
She's either crazy or high.

Ewwww. Just the thought of being man-handled by these butch feminazi nuns makes me sick.
Our last child was born with severe and fatal problems. The Catholic hospital infant-ICU doc asked if we wanted him to be fed--rather indirectly, all couched in very floral MD language.
After I'd deciphered his flapjaw, I emphatically told him that the child would be fed, period.
