she said that the Vatican is not pleased that the nuns are spending too much time with the poor instead of on issues such as same-sex “marriage”. I am not making that up, I swear.

I'm very much enjoying this investigation and re-organization of the "Leadership Conference of Women Religious"—who basically think they should all be made bishops. Meanwhile, the CDF at the Vatican doesn't care what anyone in the Western media thinks (in contrast to some other Vatican offices).

To adapt an ancient expression: "The mills of the Vatican turn slow, but they grind exceeding fine." In reality, those old Commie-Lite nuns who "kicked the habit" in the 1960s represent no one, and they will be pastured. They are being replaced by fast-growing orders of young, smiling, orthodox nuns in habits who are beginning to open real Catholic schools.

Yes, there are so many orders of sisters who have gone off the rails. I would love to see a return to the kind of sisters who taught me for 12 years in the 1950s and ‘60s. Need to keep praying.

Wow! You are certainly right about this. Two Sundays ago, we had a huge group of Dominican postulants attend Mass at our parish. The Dominicans have already had to put an addition on their convent to accommodate the numbers of happy young women who want to serve Christ in truth and JOY!
