Years ago --- I'm talking, like THIRTY years ago ---- she was commissioned to write a pape for, oh, I don't know, maybe the CTSA on women's "ordination" and she had the bold effrontery o explore the "nuptial symbolism" of the priesthoodm by which only a male could be a bodily sign (of Christ the Bridegroom.) They not only wouldn't print it--- though they had commissioned it! ---but they wouldn't pay her even though they were under contract to do so. Their attitude was "So sue us" She didn't have the means to do that.
So now she's being tapped by the Vatican theology biggies. Good news indeed.
The LCWR can always trot out 500 loud liberal nuns to support their rebellion. Less visible are the thousands of ex-nuns or women scared away from the religious life by the unorthodoxy of the liberal orders.
“Congregations have no more vocations and risk dying out,” he added. “We have first of all tried to reduce hostility and tensions, partly thanks to Bishop Sartain whom we sent to negotiate with them; he is a very gentle man. We wish to stress that we are not misogynists, we are not women gobblers! Of course we have a different concept of religious life but we hope to help them rediscover their identity.”
The women at the heart of the LCWR have been full-throated pro-abortion harpies for forty years. And they’re being “visited” is all?
Such a true statement. I just wish the LCWR would allow 5 Carmelites in full habit to visit their next meeting.
