Card. Müller, when addressing the LCWR nuns, spoke about problems with their Faith. He was not being political. He was not picking on them as “women”.
Card. Müller was effectively asking them: Do you want to be Catholic?
What the nuns are into is, basically, warmed-up gnosticism. Because we really want to be living in the 2nd century rather than the 21st. We need a new Irenaeus!
Card. Müller spoke to them about how they have gotten into “conscious evolution”. Let’s call it CE. This is pure crap, of course, and spiritually dangerous and some of these nuns are in it up to their necks.
Do you want to do a little reading around the issue?
An evolutionary spirituality is emerging, experienced as the impulse of evolution, the process of creation, the implicate order, a patterning process coming through our own hearts. It is felt as the sacred core of the evolutionary spiral, the evolving godhead arising, or even incarnating within each of us as our own impulse to co-create. It is the “creator-within” expressing itself uniquely through each person as a new form of “social cosmogenesis.” The generating power of universal evolution is guiding us toward a more synergistic, cooperative democracy.
HERE - Wow…..
At the heart of Gnostic Christianity, as taught in the Sophian Tradition, is the view of Yeshua (Aramaic for Jesus) as a human being who embarked upon a spiritual or mystical journey and became Self-realized or Enlightened; hence attained Supernal or Messianic Consciousness. According to the Sophian Gospel he was not born Christ, but became Christed by the reception of teachings and initiations from his Spiritual Teachers and engaging in spiritual practice and spiritual living. It is said that Yeshua was, indeed, the incarnation of a Great Soul and that he had accomplished the divine labor of Self-realization or Enlightenment in previous lives. Nevertheless, incarnate in the world as a Light-bearer, he had to sojourn the Path to Enlightenment as any other human being. In so doing he became a living example of the Path to Self-realization or Enlightenment and was empowered to teach others how to attain Supernal or Messianic Consciousness.
This emerging human has been called by many names. Teilhard de Chardin called it the Ultra Human, or Homo progressivus, in whom the “flame of expectation burns, attracted toward the future as an organism progressing toward the unknown.” Sri Aurobindo, the great Indian evolutionary sage, called this the Gnostic Human, the individual in whom the Consciousness Force itself, the supramental power of universal creativity, incarnates and begins to transform the body/mind into the very cells that evolve beyond the human phase.
Others have called this Homo noeticus, a being of gnosis or deep knowing of the Field out of which we are co-arising. Or Homo divina, as Sister Judy Cauley puts it. Or the universal human, connected through the heart to the whole of life, awakening from within by the core of the spiral of evolution. The implicate order is becoming explicate in us, turning into the essential self, animated by a passionate life-purpose to express our creativity.

This is amazing garbage! I read a very good post elsewhere for somebody who traced it back to Mme. Blavatsky and the 19 century theosophists. With heresy, there’s never anything new under the sun. These ditzy old ladies should be embarrassed.
The worst thing however was that they actually taught this trash to their novices, the few they had, and also worked as catechists and introduced it into other areas of the church. My question, therefore, is where were the bishops during all of this?
Some of these were Diocesan orders and were directly under the bishop. Even in the case of the pontifical orders, they still would have been doing something that would’ve caught the attention of the local bishop. Why such silence? Were the bishops afraid of them, or did they agree with them? Or were they just so negligent that they really didn’t care?
I think going back more than 50 years to legitimize the garbage these ladies are into is giving them way too much credit. They sound like New Age yahoos, nothing more.
These sisters (I refuse to call them nuns) need to find a new home outside Catholicism.
They can change or get out.

Much of what has become New Age yahooism has origins dating back to Blavatsky. There is also some connection between her racial philosophies and those of Adolf Hitler.
The bitch gets around.
Gnostic/spiritual evolution is the logical outcome of evolutionary ideology since pure Darwinism has no values whatsoever. Every invocation of "historical progress" or condemnation of "reaction" is a reference to this alleged teleological evolution of spirit.
Wrong. Dead. Horse.
“New Age” was actually “Old Age.” That garbage has been around since forever.
In the US during the 19th century, it particularly proliferated, because most average people were Protestants and many of them were not very closely attached to a church and often relied on occasional traveling revivals to get them going again. Then they would take it and run with it.
On the other hand, “intellectuals,” particularly the growing female middle class and blue-stocking class, sought out more exotic things...such as séances and spiritualism.
Mormonism came out of this environment, and so did Christian Science and a number of other even stranger 19th century cults. In Europe, the zeitgeist gave birth to anthroposophy, probably one of its more benign manifestations, and also to a number of crank cults.
The Catholic Church, in theory, was proof against these things. But laxity and timidity on the part of the bishops let Satan creep in and take over the weak minded, such as these sisters.
And as for “feminism,” I think they might actually have been slapped back...if they had not been female. The bishops were simultaneously scared of women and their media potential, and condescending to them (particularly to sisters) and didn’t expect them to be bright enough to be orthodox anyway. So no demands were made.
And then there were the numerous heretical or quasi-heretical VII bishops...but that’s another story.
