And I strongly suspect that yesterday's stories of 50,000 nuns supporting ObamaCare we're as bogus as this groups tenuous claims to represent “Catholics”.
You are probably right. Feminists are trying to drag nuns into their ranks.
In Nazi days, women would dress as nuns to be photographed in the audience at Nazi rallies, to imply Catholic support. In communist countries, it was not uncommon for secret-police to pretend to be priests, either to imply support for the regime, or to carry out acts designed to hurt to public impression of the churches.
In the North Korean regime, there are fake churches staffed by secret police, and these fooled Billy Graham. The communists also have pretend Buddhist shrines staffed by their men, but it is almost funny: Japanese visitors report that these “Buddhists” seemed to know little of their supposed religion, and had the various statues all in the wrong order in their Potemkin “temple.”
And some nuns are perhaps duped. They are only human, after all.
