Nuns Facing Vatican Scrutiny

This is an interesting development.

Being the product of both a Catholic grade school and High School I have a great respect for nuns. They, specifically the Sisters of Mercy, were my teachers, friends and mentors. I hope they aren't about to face a Vatican crackdown for "liberalism."

Stand up for the sisters!

I've been reading about this for a while too. Have you read the published email by Sister Sandra M. Schneiders - We've given birth to a new form of religious life.

Go Sisters! :)

These sisters are doing what is right and good 'in their own eyes" and not the "Pope's". (freedom of conscience) This is what the Reformation was all about...Our Revolution was also about not being subservient to a King...

The question of the "secularization" of society is at issue. Does the secularization necessitate it's own doom? Is God necessary for society's flourishing?
