Vatican Investigates Post Christian Liberal Nuns

In an enlightening new feature article for the July edition of Catholic World Report the magazine reveals startling insights into the direction of the dying world of liberal women religious (Leadership Conference of Women Religious). We all know that formation houses of liberal nuns are emptying and dying off and those of traditional Catholic roots are overflowing with long waiting lines to get in. This article highlights many of the reasons why religious who are faithful and live in hope prosper and why those who insist on dissent and individualism are cut off.

Most revealing is this quote at the end of the article by keynote speaker Sister Laurie Brink, OP. She notes how some religious groups are "no longer ecclesiastical," having "grown beyond the bounds of institutional religion...religious titles, institutional limitations, ecclesiastical authorities no longer fit this congregation, which in most respects is Post-Christian. Who's to say that the movement beyond Christ is not, in reality, a movement into the very heart of God?"

Obviously it is clear why the Vatican is investigating, and if the Vatican is to protect Christ's flock it will have to issue severe canonical penalties against these women who have rejected our Lord's chosen vicars. The group is most popular for its rejection of the Catholic hierarchy, rejection of Catholic moral teachings on homosexuality, rejection of the authentic and godly role of women in the Church, and support of the liberalization and destruction of Christ's Church.

We can see in what these women intend for our Lord's flock within the transformation of their own group. If the Church as a whole accepted their heretical and blasphemous tenants the Church too would turn its back on Christ and indulge in sin.

This is the 8th day blog though and we see the positive side of the suffering taking place here: The Vatican is acting against those who seek to harm Christians and the Church everywhere and the Holy Spirit will protect his own flock. This is an opportunity, if and when canonical penalties are imposed for those to whom the Holy Spirit works to return to the Church in repentance and embrace God's mercy. We pray for all women and men religious involved with this un-loyal dissent (the LCWR considers itself a loyal dissident group, itself impossible) that they may see the will of God and follow it. It is these men and women religious that we want our children looking up to as heroes and models of virtue and faith. We need to call these religious back to following God's will for their live.
