Message from a practicing Catholic: STFU. Not wearing a habit? Not a nun!
I wonder if they teach keeping one’s faith and becoming a martyr for it if faced with decapitation by ISIS, or if they say “convert to Islam, we must not show that we are anti-Islamic by keeping to our Christian belief.”?
Somehow the message isn't getting through then. I think this comes from a lack of adequate Biblical preaching in catholic churches.
In the church I attend the Word is taught from the Bible every Sunday. I also teach a class where we deal with the issues of the day from time to time but from a Biblical perspective.
Notice in a post I make a bit further down the voting patterns of catholics in elections. Notice the catholic sinators who vote for the murder of the unborn child, the homosexual agenda, etc.
You don't find the majority of "protestant" churches supporting these issues.
It seems their vocation is serving mammon not Christ...
“The fact that there is not a single “nun” donning anything resembling the traditional habit in the provided image should help explain why there are so many lapsed Catholics.”
To me it explains why there are no more nuns; one doesn’t have to take vows to engage in left-wing activism.
Remember these people when collections are taken for retired religious; their orders are often sitting on valuable real estate - they probably don’t need your money.
