The acolytes of the Magisterium of Nuns, such as Fr. James Martin, SJ, of America Magazine, are pretending that the Holy See’s effort to reform the the LCWR is about Republicans and politics, or about their “social justice” work.
Fr. Martin, apparently, and others are asking people to tweet positive notes about the sisters using the hashtag: #WhatSistersMeanToMe
USA Today, which has taken up Fr. Martin’s project, has this about the CDF’s and USCCB’s move:
Subtext: Stop contradicting the bishops on public policy issues such as President Obama’s Affordable Care Act.
Nice try. This is all about the noble Pres. Obama and the bishops as pawns of the evil Republicans. Riiiiiight.
The CDF’s reforming effort is far more about the fact that the queenpins of the Magisterium of Nuns style themselves as teachers about faith and morals over and against the bishops and Holy Father, and that they have even become defenders of abortion and homosexual acts.
Consider if you will just one example from my post HERE.
Donna Quinn: an advocate for legalized abortion. As late as 2009 she was engaged in escorting women to abortion clinics in the Chicago area so they could abort their babies safe from pro-life protesters. She is now a coordinator of the radically liberal National Coalition of American Nuns (NCAN), which stands in opposition against the Catholic Church’s position on abortion, homosexuality, contraception, and the exclusively male priesthood. In a 2002 address to the Women’s Studies in Religion Program at Harvard Divinity School, Quinn described how she came to view the teachings of her Church as “immoral”: “I used to say: ‘This is my Church, and I will work to change it, because I love it,’” she said. “Then later I said, ‘This church is immoral, and if I am to identify with it I’d better work to change it.’ More recently, I am saying, ‘All organized religions are immoral in their gender discriminations.’” Quinn called gender discrimination “the root cause of evil in the Church, and thus in the world,” and said she remained in the Dominican community simply for “the sisterhood.”
She is but one of many examples.
The upcoming reform of the leadership of the LCWR is not about the Holy See or American bishops being mad at under-appreciated women who built and ran hospitals, schools, and orphanages. The reform is not about their backing this or that political horse.
The reform is about the fact, the FACT, that many of the women religious in leadership positions over several decades embrace and still actively propagate a radical feminism to such a degree that they now promote, as part of their systems and power structures, unnatural acts between people of the same sex and the killing of babies within, and even mostly out of, the womb.
In any event, the defenders of the liberal nuns want people to tweet (on Twitter, of course) positive notes about the poor, male-oppressed nuns using the hashtag:
#WhatSistersMeanToMe
I suggest that you give them exactly what they are asking for!
Do tweet and do use that tag.
When you tweet, also add the link back to my post here NUNS GONE WILD. For your convenience:
