..."The sisters this week are considering how to respond to a Vatican plan to “reform” the Silver Spring, Md.-based organization, which bishops say is straying too far from official doctrine on things like the possibility of women priests and not focusing enough on abortion and traditional marriage. Multiple interviews with nun leaders this summer seem to show profound differences with the Vatican on the questions of authority and orthodoxy — who can question official teachings and how?..."
Bridget Mary's Reflection:
I pray that they choose independence and keep on living their prophetic vocations on the margins with the marginalized. My hope is that one day we will rejoice that nuns who are called to priestly ministry in a renewed church will be able to answer that call publically with the full support of their orders!

The nuns along with the rest of us women are not children, we are quite capable of thinking for ourselves, running business, raising families and doing all of the above quite well thank you. We do not need a male to tell us how to do any of it. Please support these women religious in their obedience to Jesus, not to a group of men who want to control their minds and their bank books.
ReplyDeleteTheir orders are aging and shrinking and drifting further from Christ. Apparently the nuns aren't as capable as you think.
