The fact that you posted it here indicates that you still remember. I'll also bet that now, as an adult, you can look back on what you heard and forgive Sister for that painful statement. We all heard silly statements, such as that, when we were children. Through faith, I have learned to forgive.
“I’ll also bet that now, as an adult, you can look back on what you heard and forgive Sister for that painful statement.”
I am among the chief sinners, NYer, my occasional refusal to forgive being a sin I am particularly prone to. I doubt Sister thought she was wrong then and if she is still alive I doubt she’d admit to error now. In that persistence she would be in the good company of multiple popes who proclaimed just what she said to our class of first graders.
BTW, I don’t believe that +BXVI believes this, else the images from the Mass at the Vatican today wouldn’t have included the EP. I do wish he’d come out and simply say, once and for all, that those predecessor popes were just plain wrong.
