What's The Story With the Nuns?

Eirimach....it all comes down to this: are these nuns pro-life or pro-choice? We don't need humanists, any liberal slob can do that, but we do need staunch conservative nuns and priests who stand up for the babies. I suspect you are a pro choicer.

I was raised by Mother Cabrini nuns and had a very unhappy childhood.

Maybe the archbishop is finally looking into the sale of babies to America, taken from the arms of screaming young girls because they were unmarried. Or maybe he is looking into the Institutions where the young girls were kept like slaves. There was definitly some great and good Orders of nuns and still are, but places like the Magdalene homes and others have to be brought to justice just like the Priests. No use trying to sweep these incidents under the carpet either.

Sad more than angry but I believe that this was brought about because so many religious women have kicked their habits and their traditional ministries for heaven knows what. Where there are vocations, they have gone to relatively speaking new orders who have retained a habit as well as prayers in common and are in the teaching ministry in Catholic schools.

I am so spitting mad about this, I can hardly type!!! Investigating nuns!! It is beyond belief that the church would waste its time and money on this when it should be cleaning up the pedophile priest mess. Aggghrr!

This article is very well done. Thank you! The nuns taught generations of us that it was worth the effort to try to improve the secular world we live in by advocating equality, for example. But then the hierarchy disparaged those efforts and turned the word "feminist" into an insult and a cause for suspicion. The investigations can never lessen the influence of the nuns on the lives of so many. What a waste of time and money the Archbishop is accomplishing!
