To equate these anti-Catholic nones with all those who remain obedient to the Magisterium is hysterical rant.

Who is being hysterical here, the other poster, or someone reduced to using terms like "slop" and saying "get off the computer"? And is there really any difference between these nuns and any other ones, "loyal to the magisterium" or not? The Daughters of St. Paul, for example, are famous for still wearing habits and printing all the papal encyclicals, yet they are closing up their convents in many cities.

Speaking of closing up shop, here is another article relating to the IHM nuns in Detroit:

HOLY REDEEMER'S RESIDENT NUNS: Storied convent soon will go silent
After 122 years, Monroe-based order will shutter Detroit home

Four blue-robed Immaculate Heart of Mary nuns arrived at Vernor and Junction in 1882 to open a convent, in a neighborhood then known as Springwells. They ate their first meal, provided by a parishioner, on their knees beside an overturned bed frame serving as a table...

On Saturday, IHM nuns who lived at the convent will gather there for a private commemorative mass and to share memories, including when someone left a baby on the stoop and when actor Donald Sutherland whipped them up breakfast omelettes. A few IHM nuns will continue teaching at the thriving Holy Redeemer schools, but they will not live in the convent, which once housed as many as 55 nuns when the Detroit church was considered one of the largest English-speaking parishes in the world.

This summer, Sister Elizabeth will move into an apartment in the neighborhood. She also will continue her longtime activism in the peace movement. On Thursday, Sister Josephus Seiler, 76, watched as a moving van carted away her boxes, a computer, a TV set and a chair.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised at anything after it turned out the Diocese of cleveland was funding a group affiliated with NARAL:

So basically all nuns and sisters are pro-abort because this one group has donated to a pro-abort PAC. What a great line of reasoning. Bravo.

Can I then reason that all SchizTrads are insane based on the obsessive rantings of some of your friends here (particularly the one or two that spam the crap out of this board with the same article -just written differently- every day)?
