Get Thee to a Nunnery

COMEUPPANCES    Pope stands firm on reforming "radical feminist" U.S. nuns “ Pope Francis has reaffirmed the Vatican's criticism of a body that represents U.S. nuns which the Church said was tainted by "radical" feminism, dashing hopes he might take a softer stand with the sisters. Francis's predecessor, Benedict, decreed that the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), a group that represents more than 80 percent of the 57,000 Catholic nuns in the United States, must change its ways, a ruling which the Vatican said on Monday still applied. Last year, a Vatican report said the LCWR had "serious doctrinal problems" and promoted "radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith", criticizing it for taking a soft line on issues such as birth control and homosexuality. I suppose it would be un-Christian to take joy in all the shit-hemorrhaging going on in media circles.   Standing on doctrine and principle being unknown in that circle, and all. Mea culpa. / ”
