This
Sunday, the Vatican will ask church-going Catholics to donate to a
second-collection for Peter's Pence. Lauded as funding the Pope's private
charities, the Peter's Pence collection goes directly to Rome and is reportedly
spent on "Vatican operating expenses"--without transparency or public
accounting.
The
Nun Justice Project is asking you NOT to
donate. Instead, we
are asking you to redirect your support to your local women religious
communities and record
your pledge here.
This
Sunday, let's ensure the Vatican knows the power of the Gospel is in the hands
of the people. Already over $65,000 has been pledged to
communities of women religious across the U. S. Join us in reminding the Vatican
that Catholics support those who truly live the Gospel.
We
are the Church!
(Letter from WOC, Women's Ordination Conference)
My favourite sign in support of the nunjustice is a classic: "if you want it done, ask a nun!)
Amen, Sisters, that has been my experience too!

Well that's selfish of them. Don't they care about the poor?
