"From the following essay by a former nun here ..."

To quote Ronald Reagan; "There you go again!"

You cite another bogus lying source as your proof. A former Catholic nun? Riiiiggghhhhtttt!

You do realize that a liar citing another liar does sot generate a truth, right? Mary Ann Collins considers herself a former nun although she never took her vows. On all her publications and websites, she lists herself as, "Mary Ann Collins: Former Catholic Nun". She admits she was expelled from the convent she attended but the religious order or convent she attended remains mysterious. She refuses to say where she attended and no one has admitted that Mary Ann Collins attended a convent even as a novice.

The 1917 Code of Canon Law, which abolished all ecclesiastical penalties not mentioned in the Code itself (canon 6), made "anathema" synonymous with "excommunication" (canon 2257). There is no ritual or provisions for anathema included in the post-Vatican II revision of the Pontifical.

Note: Fact checking does not mean checking to see if the "fact" agrees with you.

Like any good liberal, the antiCatholics here do not depend upon the truth of the source, but only on the intent of the source. If they are antiCatholic, it could a publication straight from the City of Dis and they would cuddle up to it publish to the entire world as proof against Catholics. An old ploy of Old Scratch. Nice to see that we have many, as was termed by Lenin, useful idiots to further the real cause.

You know that he doesn't care about this little fringe cults the litter the churches section of the Yellow Pages. He goes after the Church that counts - the Catholic Church. Why? If the Catholic Church was as demonic as the useful idiots claim, then the brightest angel would have them praised up and down and no attacks upon it. If the Church was indeed the tool of satan, then he would protect it to the best of his abilities. Yet, he attacks it unmercifully. I wonder why....

Wow! This claim is amazingly identifical to several found on the internet.

One of them: Plagarized from (by?) the honest one.

However the quote is not only innacurate but meaningless in any event. 1983 Code Of Canon Law - see Canon 6
