“They think of us as an ecclesiastical work force,” said Sister Sandra M. Schneiders, professor emerita of New Testament and spirituality at the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley, in California. “Whereas we are religious, we’re living the life of total dedication to Christ, and out of that flows a profound concern for the good of all humanity. So our vision of our lives, and their vision of us as a work force, are just not on the same planet.”

The Catholic Church is not a democracy. You don't want to follow their rules, leave (and I'm saying this as a Protestant).

Some sisters surmise that the Vatican and even some American bishops are trying to shift them back into living in convents, wearing habits or at least identifiable religious garb, ordering their schedules around daily prayers and working primarily in Roman Catholic institutions, like schools and hospitals.

ROFL... I recall Our Lord stating what would happen to those who were ashamed of him. Also those who cried Lord, Lord. Some will be shocked by his, “I don’t know you”.
Then again... no they wouldn’t, in their hearts.

They forgot... in the world, not of the world.

God’s will be done, not theirs. I remember someone else saying they would not serve.

I agree, this idea that they can do as they please, is fine if they are not RC nuns...Don't like the rules, leave....Start your own religion...I am one that left the RC church several decades ago, but sure didn't expect them to change for me....that's nuts..Still much to like about the church...
