QUAERITUR: Why don’t liberals just leave the Church?
From a reader:
Why do these liberals and people like in the LCWR stay in the Church? Wouldn’t it make sense for them to go to the Anglicans? They could be wymynpriests there and do all the crazy stuff they like … Continue reading
QUAERITUR: Doing the Roman salute/blessing gesture
From a reader:
The recent post about the LCWR has got me wondering. Is there ever a time in the liturgy (in the rubrics, anyway) when the laity are encouraged to raise their hands in blessing? I am under the impression … Continue reading

Catholic hospitals closing because of Obamacare. Sr. Keehan tries to hide the story
The other day I posted a little entry about how the “Magisterium of Nuns” is making war on the American bishops. The liberal sisters, who have compromised their Catholic identity, are trying to set up an alternative magisterium over and … Continue reading

The Magisterium of Nuns now inspires proponents of unnatural “marriage”
In the debate about Obamacare, many catholic women religious failed in their Catholic identity test. They rather chose to give cover to catholic pro-abortion democrats in Congress so that they could salve the consciences and vote in favor of legislation … Continue reading

Sister Act
I read the National Catholic Fishwrap piece about the change of sisterly presidency of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious.

Ridi, Pagliaccia! Sr. Kane smiling, through her tears.
National Catholic Fishwrap has published a talk by Sr. Theresa Kane. It is about what you would expect, a sustained and blinkered whine.

Have a look at the recent NCR piece, "Compromised hierarchy needs relational wisdom of women" by Charlene Spretnak.
Spretnak … Continue reading

A magisterium of nuns
In this matter of contingent, prudential judgments, whose judgment will in time prove to have been the more prudent?
The Catholic bishops with pro-life groups or their opposition, the LCWR and CHA and NCR, etc?
I happen to think the bishops are … Continue reading
