"why can't nuns be elevated, as nuns, to a higher position of responsibility in the Catholic Church -- and lead a parish?"

this is a very common practice, especially in liberal dioceses. The problem is that most of these nuns are feminists. By and large, the only place you will find traditional, faithful nuns in full habit is in deeply cloistered convents. Mother Angelica's monastery is home to cloistered Poor Clare sisters.

"Mother Angelica's monastery is home to cloistered Poor Clare sisters. "

Who can pass this quiz?
1)Now guess who is disparaged the most by the liberal clergy?
2)What newspaper is the least likely to be on display in your Church?

If you said Mother Angelica and her EWTN stations and the Wanderer Newspaper, you would be correct. Both are in the forefront for years in exposing problems in the Church. ("They should not be showing the dirty linen" "they are uncharitable". Righto - better for the lawyers to do the exposing and raiding the collection baskets. A lot of money that could have been used better.
