attention everyone: The Vatican is only asking those belonging to the leadership organization to change. That is 1500 women. It does not extend to the orders they belong to and claim to represent, and it probably doesn’t even extend to many of those who belong for various reasons but don’t go along with the ditzy ones.
They are spinning the problem as if all nuns are in trouble, when it’s only 1500 women.
Still, the problems have been going on for decades and involved many thousands of people. It should have been addressed closer to home and a long, long time ago.
When I was a Lay Associate of the Benedictines, they, with the rest of the LCWR, were supporting Agnes Mansour (the pro-abort Mercy sister who was running for a Congressional seat in Detroit!) and the Prioress was conducting wacky liturgies in which she was practically concelebrant, flagrantly illicit and almost very probably invalid. (It was excruciating.)
Christless Eucharists.
Merciless Mercies.
And that was 30 years ago.
