Radical feminist nuns’ group ‘stunned’ by Vatican criticisms, reform plan

Amen.

This is along the lines of that dyke who claimed she was refused communion because she shoved her vagina nuzzling relatonship in the priest’s face and he got a migraine.

Excommunicate those ‘nones’. Make a recording of thunder and lightning and play it every time they try to enter the church except when they come to confession.

I am a Catholic and I approved this message.

Chittister called the CDF’s proposals an attempt “to control people for one thing and one thing only – and that is for thinking, for being willing to discuss the issues of the age.”
“If we stop thinking, if we stop demanding the divine right to think, and to see that as a Catholic gift, then we are betraying the church no matter what the powers of the church see as an inconvenient truth in their own times.”

No, Sister, the CDF's proposals do not attempt to stop you and your liberal sisters from thinking, or even talking amongst yourselves. The CDF just wants you to stop talking outside your communities about the 'changes' you want to make. Your incessant chatter about how you want to make the Church better simply confuses Catholics, especially those who have been poorly catechized, which includes all those who were taught by the likes of YOU, and your liberal sisters.

Individual members, however, have been prompt in condemning the Vatican’s interest. Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of NETWORK, a lobbying group of U.S. Catholic nuns cited as problematic in the CDF’s report, told the Washington Post, “It’s painfully obvious that the leadership of the church is not used to having educated women form thoughtful opinions and engage in dialogue.”

If that is what you think, baby, hit the bricks and start your own church.

How do these 'nuns' differ from any other group of leftist women? Abortion, lesbianism, gay rights and social justice appear to be much more important to them than any Catholic teachings.

They differ because they VOLUNTARILY took VOWS of obedience, poverty and chastity. Mouthing off about(supporting)abortion, artificial birth control, normalizing homosexuality and such, is anathema to the teaching of the Church they VOLUNTARILY entered. They are double hypocrites because of their vows.

Ordinary leftist women are just miserable and unhappy women. They bleat because they hurt and don't know how to NOT hurt. These nuns are SUPPOSED to be happy in their role, 'married' to the Church, to Jesus. They are SUPPOSED to be NOT ordinary, but extraordinary women.

Their FAITH is supposed to be more important to them than anything else. Jesus is supposed to be number one in their lives. Anything different is breaking vows.

They should shut up or leave--SO simple. The Church doesn't need them. They do far more damage than ordinary leftist jerkettes.

Cardinal Levada was archbishop of San Francisco, Marin and San Mateo Counties for several years. The leftist, church-hating fools who tried to give any static to the Church during his time were dealt with in a manner that would make the Good Lord proud.
I was not at all surprised when the Vatican took him away to Rome. He OOZED brains, talent, compassion, backbone and love of his Lord.

Amen, brother.

Benedictine sister Joan Chittister said “If we stop thinking, if we stop demanding the divine right to think, and to see that as a Catholic gift, then we are betraying the church no matter what the powers of the church see as an inconvenient truth in their own times.”

LOL, a Benedictine nun said this? About the Catholic Church? LOL! Listen, Sister, if you want your divine right to think, just make sure you're thinking about supporting Catholic Doctrine. Because as a Catholic, your divine right to think stops right there - period. That's WHY you're a Catholic, remember?

They were just surprised that there was a Pope, and that the Vatican was still the headquarters of the Catholic Church...

Amazing, but they are just the tip of a very large iceberg. Let's see discipline come down on all the Catholic institutes of higher learning that teach liberalism. Let's see politicians who push for abortion, homosexuality and a host of other sins disciplined. But this is a start. Glad to see the Catholic Church show some teeth when it comes to disciplining where there is known and public sin. I am not Catholic, but am glad when sin is genuinely censored.

In an interview with LifeSiteNews.com in 2010, Chittister had said that while she is personally “against” abortion, “I would never condemn a woman who finds herself in the position where she believes that, or her doctor believes that, abortion is the only answer for her at that moment.” She also criticized the Catholic Church as being based “on a patriarchal system” and described her admitted divergence from Catholic teaching as a “position of query, of theological and scriptural commitment and search.”

LifeSiteNews featured Chittister's image in their reporting vs AP which showed an image of Mother Teresa's sisters.

The National Post up here in Canada used a picture of the Sisters of Life.

“Are they nuns or just social workers in habits?”

They are community organizers without habits.

[Chode]

looks like Liberace...

and what habits they have are bad!

I would.

The Catholic Church is a power structure with a lot of money, and many are associated with it because of that, not because the actually share Catholic values.
