As part of a global effort to draw attention to the world's addiction to fossil fuels, Mercy sisters and associates participated in the Hands Across the Hudson Flotilla on May 13 in Albany, New York. This action called kayaktivism involved using kayaks and canoes to form a blockade across the river to block barges carrying fracked oil.
Additionally, advocates protested the transportation of oil by train through low-income neighborhoods in Albany, NY.
These actions were part of ten days of Break Free from Fossil Fuels events held on six continents.
Ping!
Insanity.
I was taught by the Sisters of Mercy (not the Mercy Sisters, you a**holes!) And a bigger bunch of miserable women you couldn’t meet. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sister Maria Virgo turned up as a guy.
Give me my beloved White Sisters of Africa from my extreme youth, any day! Or my mom’s Polish nuns at her nursing home circa 2015. What angels they were and are.
I’m sure Francis approves
not be considered qualified to serve as Catholic school teachers. Among them might be included: atheists, Christian fundamentalists.......
I bet the current Pope approves

They are trying to turn Catholic schools in public schools.
“I’m sure Francis approves.”
I’m not so sure.
the question revolves not around Bergoglio’s theocratic mindset, but whether or not he will stand with tradition and insist that those flouting it, particularly in educational organizations, be removed...
if not, all the proclamations of piety and tradition are meaningless...
Great list.
Teachers in Catholic school really do get paid crap. I know teachers always bitch about their pay. But these people really do it for the love of the kids.
My impression is that he errs in the opposite direction. If he were a "theocrat" he would enforce God's laws.
And what will Archbishop Cordileone do? Although it is not a diocesan school they still need the archbishop’s license to run a Catholic school or operate any other apostolate in the archdiocese. The sisters should be told to close the school and leave the archdiocese.
Fire the Sisters of Mercy and fire those they hired.
How'd they get their kayaks to the water?
the Sisters of Charity were pretty good....can’t complain....
At the all girls school LOL
Will they get in trouble for defying Pope Francis and Catholicism?
