I once saw lesbian nuns on the Phil Donahue show. Just saying, that years ago, people knew they were out there.

A calculated and deliberate ploy from Bergoglio and his MSM waterboys to distract attention from the sodomite elephant in the room, immediately before the so called “summit” on sex abuse to take place later this month.

The Church shouldn't be scandalized by this? Just what should the Church be by this if not scandalized?

Slightly irritated? Peevish? Vexed? Nettled?

I guess the Pope will blame "clericalism" again.

Back in 1985 when we were deciding on elementary school for our son I went to our local Catholic school to talk to the principal, a nun. There was one other nun at the school and they shared a home. It was morning about 10am and Sister reeked of alcohol and was obviously tipsy. We had a really nice public elementary school in our neighborhood and after that interview there was no way we would send our son there. It wasn’t too long after that the Bishop removed both nuns from the school - because they were lesbians.(This was the local talk about it as there wasn’t a statement. Different times in 1985!) Guess I was pretty naive at that time because the lesbian thing never dawned on me!

"Slavery?" Really? Nuns were being held by force? I doubt that.

I'm not trying to rationalize, minimize or excuse severe misconduct. I can imagine some pretty sick communities with a high degree of peer pressure and cultish behavior enforced by a corrupt leadership group. The worst recent cult I can think of was the Jim Jones crowd in Guyana. But even there, the people weren't slaves. Brainwashed dupes, yes. Slaves, no.

"All this Pope does is make things worse for the Church."

He is doing his job.

Nothing new. The brother (Sweyn) of Harold Godwinson of 1066 fame was exiled for using a Nunnery as a personal whorehouse and abducting its abbess. Don’t remember the exact year, but it was before 1066.

Sure...That's why the straight priests don't rat out the queer ones...

Would it help if priests and bishops, etc.... were required to follow Jesus’ teaching....(perhaps as a nice little ceremonial part of their ordination to Holy Orders ?).....

“But he said to them, “Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those to whom it is given. For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of Heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.”
—Matthew 19:11–12

“Francis told reporters on his flight that the Catholic Church,” shouldn’t be scandalized by this,” adding that “there are steps in a process,” and “we are working on it.”

RICO prosecutions are needed here. Clean out the RCC from top to bottom.

“The fact that the Catholic Church has not always been cooperative with law enforcement in these matters is troubling.”

Troubling?? It’s fricking criminal.

Well, there are all the testimonies of the nuns who have quit the RCC and testified that it happened to them. You can buy that. Their testimony isn’t hard to find if one looks. I know one personally who went to a church I attended.

And they were abused by priests. You don’t need to abort babies if your being abused by a mother superior. There’s plenty of testimony out there from former nuns who went through these things....and it’s not just a couple.

Ok. Glad to know I don’t side with people who rape nuns, kids, say I’m anti-abortion and anti gay yet let my priests do whatever they want with zero repercussions...and spend billions to defend them and the institution that enables them. The catechism says it’s wrong to be homosexual yet bishops can speak at pro gay rallies. It says abortion is wrong but your politicians are rapidly pro-abortion with zero consequences. Now this...and I’m a weirdo? Ok. All I did was say research it. Does truth hurt that much that you can’t even research it or look into it? You have to dismiss it? 30 years ago you probably dismissed the idea that priests were raping little boys. Guess so. Go away sicko. You’re in the right religion.
