Sister Pat Farrell, president of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, said Monday that Catholics should be able to search for answers about faith without fear.

They're good at this.

They have a well thumbed playbook of euphemisms from which they pull these phrases. This one implies nothing more than ingenuous, sincere inquiry into the mystery of the Mystical Body.

What she doesn't say, of course, is that Christ, through His Church, has already supplied us with certain "answers" which we call dogma. The sisters reject these "answers" and what to replace them with their own.

A demand for reform is different than ‘searching for answers’.

One must ask why they are airing their dirty habits in public. If they want reform then it should be discussed within the Church, not paraded in public.

Lots of nuns seem to need defrocking these days.

They have already formed their own religion. It’s time to make it official, instead of hiding behind their cowardice.

When Sister Pat Farrell says “should be able to search for answers about faith” she means “should be able to advocate for heresy to replace unchangeable dogma”.

If we are collectively the Body of Christ, this woman is the lower intestine - the bowels where all the harmful foul-smelling waste is located.

that is a line for the communist playbook. Use free speech to destroy free speech.

sow doubt for any little point to collapse the entire institution. The point can be as simple as the location of a door.
