Ping!
Is worth 1000 words ...
I hope they cut her loose.
NPR: the town liar.
What does that picture actually say about this woman? Words speak louder than images, yet how many Americans fell prey to an image of the smiling Barak Obama and bought into his "hope and change" campaign.
A public excommunication for her and all her proselytes, followed by a disbanding of their order.
No church support.
Go ask NPR for money to fund it, or just join Planned Parenthood and be done with it.
From the picture, she (it) looks like she (it) would be right at home in a Planned Parenthood abortion mill.
Sister??? lady, you have no business calling yourself a “sister.’ Maybe you should turn in your habit (if you wear one) and go join the church of England. My two aunts who were real “sisters”would have told you to pack your bags and get out if you can’t acceept the ways of the church.
It says that, although she claims to be a sister in Catholic religious order, she does not present herself in a matter traditionally associated with such communities.
In XXI Century America, that fact speaks volumes. Show me even one example of a vowed religious community which rejected the tradition of uniform and distinctive garb, but which remains faithful to the Church.
I am familiar with her gang (order) known as Sisters of Social Service. They are all like her. They always talk about their community. They never talk about thier church. I should not say anything more. I don’t want to blow my cover. You don’t get to pick your relatives.
Also she has bad taste in shirts and speaks in bumperstickers instead of catechism.
Wow! That’s a surprise. It’s the SSS, huh. One of my friends from high school is a retired nun from that community. Can’t say that I ever recall her talking like this, but she did say that she thought women should be allowed in the priesthood. Other than that, she seems to be a good Caholic.
Campbell is not the story here. The story is why the Catholic Church is treating her and her group the way it is - namely, by allowing them to still exist as a RCC order.
There’s easily enough to disband them, let alone defrock them. They’re clearly squared off against the Church. Even now, Campbell is outrageously defying the order she got just days ago not to go public with her issues, by cawing them out on NPR.
So, Campbell is Campbell. You’re telling me the Pope doesn’t have the resources to shut her down? Of course not. Which means the Pope is enabling her by NOT shutting her down.
Why?
Her order owns their real estate. The deeds are in their name. They could get kicked out of the church but not off of their properties. In 25 years they will probably all be dead. They are not getting new recruits. The median age is probably over 70 years old. Simone is one of the younger members.
Leave it to NPR! Our tax dollars pay for nonsense like this.
Talisker, I don’t think you followed the visits of the Vatican emmissaries to the seminaries, did you? If you did, you might know that that a lot of nonsense (my polite word) was cleaned up. Now the seminaries are bulging with men who want to be priests, for they know it is a safe and holy environment.
The same thing is happening now with all the leftist sisters who were pro-choice, etc.
Watch — in ten years the convents will also be bulging with new novices and will be building new dorms and classrooms due to the increasing numbers of righteous women who wish to nurse sixk people or teach the Word of God to children.
God bless.

Sort of like Eve in the Garden, huh?
That thought keeps her from being a good Catholic.
Members of religious orders are consecrated members of the laity. They're never "frocked"(sic) to begin with.
By the way, defrock is a secular term not found in Canon Law.
