Accepting vows from a transgendered person is laudable, I guess.

It's strange, AFAIC.

To repeat: do you know with MORAL CERTAINTY that the claims made in this article about the nun are true?

A question worth answering, in my opinion. If true, the traditionalists that I know wouldn't be supporting him, and they would probably know.

Dear sinkspur,

I'd be careful before deciding that the reported facts are the actual facts. Look at Archbishop Burke's response:

"Montalvo forwarded the letter to Burke, who on November 20, 2002, replied to Helmueller. 'With regard to Sister Julie Green, F.S.J., the recognition of the association of the faithful which she and Sister Anne LeBlanc founded was granted only after consultation with the Holy See,' he writes. 'These are matters which are confidential and do not admit of any further comment.... I can assure you that Sister Julie Green in no way espouses a sex change operation as right or good. In fact, she holds it to be seriously disordered. Therefore, I caution you very much about the rash judgments which you made in your letter to the Apostolic Nuncio."

"Adds Burke: 'I express my surprise that, when you had questions about Sister Julie Green, you did not, in accord with the teaching of our Lord, address the matter to me directly.'"

I'm not sure all the facts have been reported, and I'm not sure everything reported is a fact.
