BTW, strictly speaking, nuns are cloistered, and religious women who are not cloistered are sisters. But that aside, the Vatican is not persecuting women religious. The Vatican is investigating the fact that many so-called Catholic religious orders are filled with women who hate the Catholic Church and work from within it to try to bring it down. It is not persecution to say that if you want to work under the auspices of the Catholic Church, you must believe in and promote true doctrine.

The nuns have excluded themselves by not abiding by the rules that they had frreely agreed to abide by. Vatican two is long ago. The liberals have destroyed the church enough already by deeply miscontruing Vatican two.

If it's a bigot you want to expose - is Name is William Donohe from the Catholic League – who uses the Catholic Church to make his own very troubling personal Statements. His posts are a cross between a cry for help with personal issues and a Political Anti-Obama Rant.
Ther is no greater proof of Anti-catholicism in the Media than to have him as anythying representative of the Catholic Church.
And because the media is scared to death they will be called anti-christian by this bully,,,,,the back down every time.

As a Catholic for 65 years may I tell you Jansen,,,It's my Curch and I'm staying. No one has done more harm to the Catholic Church in America than those who have hi -jacked our church for political purposes. Take the time to read the posts of a Bully who uses the church for his own political and personal purposes,,,,,,,,Bill Donohue of the Catholic league (Who does not speak for or reprersent the chruch at all) has been on a ten day "Vagina War" with Jon Stewart,,,,,,,and will probably interrupt that only lone enough to praise the Bishop of Worcester, Mass. for dis-inviting a Kennedy to speak at a local College.
No loger able to go after a Dead Man,,,he goes after his widow,,,,who has not taken a public stance on anythig — while remaining silent when Santorum supported and endorsed Pro CHOICE Specter over Pro LIFE Toomey in the Pa Primaries.
Then take another look at the reason the Catholic Church in America (hi-jackied by an anti-catholic by nature poltical party) has lost it's moral authority.

Hey, since when are nuns descendants of the apostles & required to be admitted in "leadership" roles? I was taught that the apostles passed down the truths Christ taught to their successors and the successors were not women. They were men, hence the "male-dominated Church hierarchy." The Church will not change the priesthood or the hierarchy simply because people think it should be co-ed. The Church is not, thank God, a democracy. Live with it or leave it. Go become an Anglican – that's working out so well in Great Britain, isn't it?

You have to be kidding? Why wouldn't the press make an issue of the abuse of women? Why wouldn't the press make an issue of the endemic child rape by the clergy and their enablers? The world in which the Catholic church is never crticized is no more. You lost that "privlige" when the kids were touched and the women were attacked. Your Holy church is on U.S. lists for money laundering. Embezelment and other crimes are reported regularly. The question is, Why are you still defending this mumbo jumbo contraption in the first place?

What irks me the most about the Vatican's latest stunt in going after the nuns is that the Vatican knew how deeply Priest Pedophilia was embedded in the Church, for DECADES, and yet instead of rooting out this unspeakably criminal sin, the Vatican did everything in Her power to enable bishops, archbishops and cardinals to cover these crimes up and intimidate those who were abused, molested, raped or sodomized. (Why not call it like it is? Right?) From the very top of the Vatican a directive called, "Crimen Sollicitationis" was delivered to every bishop on the planet. In it they were told how to silence and intimidate Survivors and their families under the context of any investigation being a "Papal Secret," punishable by excommunication IF the contents of the inquiry were leaked or discussed outside of the inquiry. Google Crimen Sollicitationis, and then ask yourself, "What could the nuns have ever done which would compare to something like this Vatican Blueprint for Coverups!
