The nuns in question here are the LCWR. No habits, no obedience, talk against church law, teach that homosexuality is OK....get the picture?
You misunderstood me, I was being sarcastic. As if the Vatican would ever sanction an order of nuns merrely for being charitible - which is what the Times was saying. That's ludicrous - that was my point. I know why the Vatican has put their foot down on this apostate order, and it was long overdue.
