I, too, find this term - new to me as applied to religous sisters - quite fitting.

“post-Christian sisters” are a major plague in the Church, but fortunately they attract few vocations and will die out soon.

Its terrible to think that the sisters’ lay groups (teeming with lay women who wish they had become lesbian nuns when they were young) may end up controlling the property of the relisious orders once they die off.

Who put “mormon” in the keywords and why?

Who put “cordileone” in the keywords and why? Bishop Cordileone wasn't mentioned in the article.

It is ironic and sad that the property is what they will get.

And also passing themselves off to those they seek to help and grow in faith as authentically Catholic. Post Christian is an apt term. They may have few new vocations but they do have lots of lay followers who seem happy to pick up where they left off.
