ALL female folk singers sound like Judy Collins.

Well, no, she sounds a LITTLE different :

[sung]
I'm not Lisa ...
My name is Kathy ...

Note to all. Real nuns take saint names, not nicknames like "Kathy". There is nothing wrong with being Sr. Catherine.

“love cannot be silienced,” whatever the Hell that means.

it means abortion! you know; show your love of your unborn child by killing it so that it will not inconvience you. I/m sure this is what Christ meant for us to do. (sarc)

She and anyone who publically advocates the murder of the unborn should be immediately excommunicated. The church would gain a lot of respect for taking a stand.

It must have worked. I left RVN in Nov 68, and I haven’t had to go back since then.

It is content to focus on this insipid nun singing about “love cannot be silienced,” whatever the Hell that means.

From the Poet John Donne, in his "Lecture upon a shadow," we have: "Love is a full and ever constant light, and the first moment after noon is night."

Who was it that said "Love one anther"?

This article showcases much of what is wrong with journalism.

#####

It also throws in this ‘fact’ that “the Vatican issued a harsh assessment of the group representing a majority of U.S. nuns”

Really? What is his basis for this ‘fact?’

The only possible way that this could be true is if the majority of nuns in America are all over 65 and/or have stayed in the orders for strange political reasons.

Gee, if I wrote and published a song telling MY employer they were full of shiite, I wonder what would happen to me?

And how do the nuns determine the difference between “love” and “lust” or “perversion”? Because there are differences. Plenty of women have women friends they love dearly, but would never want to have sex with, or leave their families for.

I’ve always said most of liberal priests and nuns in the Church today are products of the hippie sector of the 60’s.

The spirit of Vatican II spawned a new generation of anabaptists, like those who were so nutty that bother Lutherans and Catholics regarding them as anathema.

Are these people funded and paid by the Catholic Church? Why should the RCC be taken seriously unless they start cutting out the chaff from the wheat?

“They sang Peter, Paul and Mary and Joan Baez, and some friends said her voice reminded them of Judy Collins.”

Having all 5 of those names in one sentence warranta a barf alert.

and what is it with modern nuns and dancing? (check the lyrics of her song)...

Once, nuns lived in poverty, and taught or nursed or did something practical. Now they lobby, criticize bishops, and dance in chiffon at mass in imitation of "pricilla queen of the desert"...

was that before or after Donne stopped writing his dirty poems and found Jesus?

I was joking about Donne, of course.

As for “love one another”, well, lots of folks say that. But I notice she is living in a nice apartment in New York city, (and who pays the bills), not working with street kids in Manila.

Or as one sarcastic carpenter said: Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Love Love” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.

Yes, I know: he said Lord Lord, but the idea is the same thing: ME ME ME....
