All kidding aside...I concur. I truly found the Sisters inspirational. I was taught by Sisters of Mercy...their order was founded in Ireland and they came to the US (western Pennsylvania) to open parochial schools and provide health care for the immigrant community. They built schools; orphanages; hospitals; and even a college. The good works and profound impact they had on their communities is simply astounding. That is why I have a hard time understanding women not being able to teach their faith to others.

The nuns are great spokesman for Catholicism and the word of God. They can't say mass, which is as it should be.

And if the Baptists or the Mormons or the druids want to place limits on what women can or can't do, then that's their business. If women are offended by that, there are many places to turn. But you can see the "benefits" of liberalization of churches. LOL. The Episcopalians and Presbyterians are in a state of atrophy.
