Nuns on the Run

Ah! The spirit of the Spanish Inquisition lives on in the Catholic Church!

The Vatican is conducting an 'investigation' of nuns in the U.S.

The Leadership Conference of Women Religious was informed March 10th that the Vatican will be investigating their 'initiatives' in particular areas that are of concern.

Ordinatio sacerdotalis for starters. This is the doctrine that says that only men can be priests. Period. End of story.

Dominus Jesus, a declaration that, in part, insisted that non-Catholic Christians are “in a gravely deficient situation in comparison with those who, in the church, have the fullness of the means of salvation” and that non-Catholic Christian communities suffer “defects."

And last, but certainly not least, “the problem of homosexuality,” or as the current Pope wrote when he was Cardinal Ratzinger in 1986: “Although the particular inclination of the homosexual person is not a sin, it is a more or less strong tendency ordered toward an intrinsic moral evil; and thus the inclination itself must be seen as an objective disorder.”

Right.

Hmmmm, let's see American nuns don't want to promote the Vatican's crap. And that's a bad thing?

Here's hoping the nuns box the ears of the investigators and whack them with their yardsticks.
