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...

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.

For every Mother Theresa there's ten of these man-hating nuns who have it out for the Pope. What the heck is it with these women? Personally, I think the worst of them are the IHM nuns (the Immaculate Heart of Mary). My sister and I had an IHM nun for a religion teacher in high school. We decided that IHM really stands for "I Hate Men".

Sister Mary Godzilla of the "I Hate Men" order was the last person in the world you would want to teach your children about Jesus.
