Jamie Manson, whose mentor … mentrix?… when obtaining the coveted MDiv at Yale was RSM Sr. Margaret Falrey, the highly-noted author about “self pleasuring”, is aflutter in the Fishwrap that tens of people showed up in NEW YORK CITY for a demonstration for the poor oppressed nuns, so oppressed and besmirched by their male Roman oppressors.
Jamie is scheduled at the LCWR meeting in August. I suppose they need to keep the group going at least until they can give all their talks and get paid.
I still haven’t received my invitation, by the way. Dum spiro spero.
Anyway the group called Nun Justice – yes I am sure you know them – held a Big Apple Bash … (sorry, that was a lame attempt to sound like a different blog) … New York City rally and tens of people showed up! Can you imagine the excitement? 150 people rallying!
The outpouring of support for the sisters has been truly impressive. I believe some of them even had signs!
Thanks to the ministry of the Fishwrap and Nun Justice, the oppressing masculine resolve of the oppressive male oppressors of the CDF and USCCB will soon crumble. It wont be long now but the teaming crowds of activists will all obtain from the men of the hierarchy that approval they so … deeply … crave.
Has the LCWR, or Sister Donna Quinn, OP, made any statement about the attempt by Congress to limit sex-selective abortion? Or Obama’s refusal to let Congress do so?
“Big Apple Bash” ????
Sounds more like an apple crumble to me…
a Big Apple Bash … (sorry, that was a lame attempt to sound like a different blog)
Ugh, a reminder of why I never go there. Oddly, incessant neologizing gets … old
RSM?
They should have gone a few blocks south to Holy Innocents for a 6PM Latin Mass. There would have been 150 heart attacks!

Why do these morons always have to congregate in NYC? Traffic and parking are already bad enough without them.
150 people in NYC is a subway car.
150? That’s all they managed to muster up?
Ha! That’s laughable!
@ Philangelus: ‘150 people in NYC is a subway car’ Hey that’s a good one!
@ NoraLee9: ‘Morons’ they are, indeed!
“I believe some of them even had signs!”
Awwww… no giant puppets! Well, maybe the City Authorities banned them on pollution grounds.
Reading the article itself, one is struck – but not surprised – by the amount of deluded victim-speak in it, not to mention the relentless po-faced joylessness of the whole thing. Honestly, do these people ever take themselves seriously: “justice-oriented, Vatican II Catholics” indeed! Still, they do a great job on self-parodying, the joke of course being that they don’t see that.

ROFL!!!!
There was a beautiful Solemn Mass yesterday there for St. Anthony’s day with veneration of the relic and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. And all day, statring from 7 AM, the Knights of Columbus (all Latin Mass men) were handing out the blessed bread outside the church where an outdoor shrine was set up. People lit lots of candles and knelt in prayer on the steps. What was that sound? Just a tambourine falling on the floor due to rigor mortis!
This was hilarious to read.
