VATICAN CITY (AP) — Nearly all the members of a French religious order of nuns have decided to renounce their vows rather than live under a Vatican commissioner appointed after a dispute with the local bishop.

The Vatican last year suspended the government of the Little Sisters of Marie, Mother of the Redeemer and removed the superior and novice mistress following an investigation apparently sparked by a dispute over the future of homes for the elderly in southern France where the sisters minister.

Sounds like the Church needs reformation. [’again]

What will become of these 34 elderly French Nuns, now that they have renounced their vows? Hopefully, they have already made plans for this.

Perhaps they can move in with the Benedictines of Mary in Missouri.

Who Where is John Galt Martin Luther?

The usurpers ...are led by a religious sister and theology professor with a short haircut who does not wear a habit, one who defends Amoris Laetitia and whom the sisters have said does not understand their religious charism.

In other words, the nuns who quit would otherwise be subject to the tyrannical rule of a clip-haired dyke.

They kicked the habit

Good for them...

The. Worst. Pope. Ever.

I’m guessing they could informally still live together, but they would need to vacate church property. I hope some private individuals, or their city, puts some money up to keep them going because, as their mayor pointed out, they are providing an important service in caring for the elderly.

A lot of holy Catholics have been out the outs with Papal or episcopal authority at one point or another. The nuns will win in the end; in this life or the next. And woe to the men who gave them grief.

Apparently they pray too much for the liking of the current regime.

Per Unam Sanctum they have no choice but to obey the dictates of the pope.

No: once again you err. The good sisters were given an either / or choice. And they chose wisely.

[ealgeone]

Roman Catholics hate it when their own documents are used against them.

YOU. HAVE. NO. CHOICE.

[ealgeone]

Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff.

You have no idea of what Catholics "hate". And I don't think you ever will.

[narses]

You appear to be an illiterate bigot.

You appear to be an illiterate bigot.

Proving yet again, it is usually, though not always, the Roman Catholic who resorts to profanity and/or the personal attack when the argument goes against them.

All I did was quote from one of YOUR pope's writings.

Do your pope's writings upset you that much?

From what I've seen from you....you seem to hate your own denomination.
