He had a brother named George who sometimes came out on his show and played a violin. Never said anything just played. I am going to guess the whole family had musical talents.

You know what is sad? He was talented and had not not been a homo he would have never died of AIDS. He’d still be playing today or at least longer than he did.

Do these nuns go to confession and take communion? What priest is cooperating with that?

They are either dying off or being retired. The barque of St. Peter is slow to adjust course and make corrections. However, like any gigantic oil tanker or container ship, it will eventually make it where the Captain wishes it to go. And with an XO like BXVI, the course corrections are a little quicker than with some of the previous ones.

In an interview with LifeSiteNews.com in 2010, Chittister had said that while she is personally “against” abortion, “I would never condemn a woman who finds herself in the position where she believes that, or her doctor believes that, abortion is the only answer for her at that moment.” She also criticized the Catholic Church as being based “on a patriarchal system” and described her admitted divergence from Catholic teaching as a “position of query, of theological and scriptural commitment and search.”

I'd start the divergence of funding for her lifestyle as well.

I am a bit stunned by all of this, too, particularly on the “social justice” issue, which is just a buzz word for socialism and equal misery for all - don’t know why the nuns don’t get that. I worked for a Catholic hospital system and that was one of their main goals (social justice) - I thought the Church endorsed that as well, but now I know it was all coming from the nuns who ran the hospitals.

Well, it’s not about social justice, whatever that is.

It’s about power and the ability to practice it over others, unearned. It’s also about not having to work for a living. Did our current President, as community organizer (whatever that is) have to work for a living?

My padre works for a living and very hard and long hours. My bishop, even though I publicly have excoriated him to his face and on camera, works hard for a living. These social justice nuns are not working for a living - they are working to undermine the Faith in order to support their own particular warped fantasies of what the Faith might be manipulated to.

The Beatitudes are at the top of Catholic Faith, make no mistake. However, abortion and fascism cannot be.

In my opinion, condemnations based on Biblical beliefs are highly questionable.

Ask yourself ... What would Jesus do?

“Because the leadership of LCWR has the custom of meeting annually with the staff of CDF in Rome and because the conference follows canonically-approved statutes, we were taken by surprise,” the LCWR said in a statement.

Horse Hockey. The 'conference', on paper, might follow the statutes, but in practice, the individual nuns went off the rails long ago.

Just a question, who is condemning anyone? I really don't understand your comment....In revelation, Jesus warns that one of the Church's he writes to can have its lampstand removed from his thrown, I do think cleaning up some practices that are not in holding with his teachings is something that it is His prerogative to clean out...Its not necessarily done by man but man is used to clean up sin that is not individual but groups that have strayed from the word....

I would ask you the same question.....ask yourself what would Jesus do to those that act in His name and do abominable things... It seems to me that the nuns involved are rendering unto Caesar that that belongs to God.....If they want to continue in their practice of being a party to abortion, as they say they assist those wanting one to get to the abortionist, they are far removed from Christ and his love for the least amongst men.... they are doing such things while using the Catholic church as their cover for their unholy practices...JMHO.

If they want to continue, leave the church and do their secular garbage under their own name, what ever that may be...

... continue in their (nuns) practice of being a party to abortion ...

Last I heard, in certain instances, abortion is acceptable in Catholic hospitals.

... That condition exists when continuing a pregnancy would kill both mother and child.

this group of nuns are not escorting women to catholic hospitals, they are escorting them into abortion clinics...there are very rare occasions that abortion can save a woman life, the per cent is so small as to be darn near non existing...And I don't think they are done in catholic hospitals...catholic hospitals are not the only hospitals in the country...
