Ooohhh. I went into this beautiful little religious store and saw books and statues and holy cards that I hadn't seen in years. I was thrilled! It was weird though... we were in there maybe 15 minutes and I put down the items I was going to buy and took my kids outta there - I told them something was weird but I couldn't put my finger on it - it was a "feeling" I had. But I noticed a small pamphlet rack on my way out and grabbed a pamphlet that had a picture of a nun on it dressed the same way as the nun behind the register. When we got back to the hotel room later on, I read all about them "we have our own hierarchy" and I was so happy I hadn't spent any money in there.

When I got home a few days later, I looked them up on the web. Talk about deceptive advertising... no mention of ordaining women or the other things you mention - wasn't in their printed literature, either.

Ya just never know.

You have good instincts.

Generally a group like this likes to lead potential converts down a comfortable path for a while before they bring you to a "Mass" celebrated by "Mother" Anne, or explain to you exactly how the UFOs they've documented are signs of the end times.
