Yeah….the actual sisters (very few are really nuns- they are the cloistered ones) who are in education and healthcare see a world that the bishops have more than likely never seen. My take is that they more than likely just turn a blind eye to Church teachings that actually interfere with their work. Kind of like Jesus ignoring the Pharisees in His day.
Oh, I heard this on All Things Considered Today and it made me so angry. The people in charge at the Vatican have no idea of what the priests and nuns who are good and who do try to follow Jesus’s teachings face and see on a daily basis. The nuns are trying to do good and the Church is preventing them from doing so because of the archaic attitudes the institution still holds.
Do not get me started. Do not. Because I will drop so many F-bombs it wouldn’t be pleasant.
Let’s be friends always. This is the best news post ever. (Not that I don’t love them all, but this is especially special.)
Also, I love nuns.
OMG. News haiku! AMAZING. It fits my attention span perfectly.
Seriously! I think I would read more news if it initially came in this form! (This is probably why I get my news through twitter feeds.)
*applauds*
Seriously, I’m slow clapping at my desk.
So. Vatican. Lemme splain somethin to ya. Lotso Catholics are not so on board with you on this idea that gay folks and abortions are a bigger problem than poverty and poor healthcare. We also tend to be more respectful of nuns than of bishops. No one is more holy than the Mother Superior. Not even God. The bishops were not the ones in our schools with the rosaries and the death glares. You are gonna loose on this one. The world view is changing, you can change with it (and yes, yes you can, I’ve seen you do it), or you can loose the faithful to other churches. VATICAN II HAPPENED OK. You cannot go back and undo it, and what’s more you seem to be the only ones that want to. The rest of the world likes the changes it made.
Also Jonathan Frid died. I am having a sad about that. He will always be the real Barnabas Collins.
applause!!!
The links don’t work for me. Is it just me? I want to read about badass nuns.
it’s not just you. but if the links are fixed, this will be my fave news mileu ever.
EVER, I say.
Oooo!!! I normally steer away from reading the news (I prefer the radio, or even TV), but you’ve made it fun! No dinosaurs makes me sad though :(
LOL. And now, your evening news from…
Take your pick…
Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, or… SALLY LAWTON.
Love this.
