further proof that the world is becoming an increasingly weird place,
the Catholic Church has decided to crack down on American nuns who, as
anyone who has been around a nun recently knows, are a bunch of
freewheeling party sisters. Wait, what? Yes, the Vatican has just taken
disciplinary action against a group of American nuns who they say are
proponents of "certain radical feminist themes incompatible with the
Catholic faith." Oh no?
The Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR),
an umbrella group representing most of America's 55,000 nuns, is in
trouble with the Vatican because they've apparently have not been vocal
enough in their opposition to gay marriage, abortion, and women's
ordination. So now it's not enough to just be opposed to things the
church is against? You also have to stand up and yell about it? That's
some bullshit right there. As far as those radical feminist ideas
they've been spreading, that evil has supposedly been taking place at
conferences sponsored by the LCWR.
This directive came as the result of a two-year-long
investigation - excellent use of resources, boys - and appears to be
part of what is seen as the church veering into more conservative
territory. You might not think nuns would be the obvious target of any
investigations, considering it's the priests who've been causing most of
the actual problems the church has faced recently, but of course
organized religion never lets a little thing like logic get in the way. READ MORE
