Resistance

Sister Campbell suggested that her organisation's vocal support for President Barack Obama's healthcare bill was behind the slapdown.

"There's a strong connection," she said. "We didn't split on faith, we split on politics."

For a Citizen, I believe there can be leeway between faith and politics.  But for those who are directly apart of the Church, can there really be a difference between faith and politics without compromising themselves?

But Sister Campbell suggested a difficult time ahead: "It's totally a top-down process and I don't think the bishops have any idea of what they're in for."

I still have faith that this is not true.  I believe in my heart the vast majority of sisters in America are not the problem here.  But that these organizations have developed their own agenda.

Crackdown

BBC

The Vatican has ordered a crackdown on a group of American nuns that it considers too radical.

It says the group is undermining Roman Catholic teaching on homosexuality and is promoting "feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith".

The Leadership Conference of Women Religious is the largest organisation of Catholic nuns in the US.

This is a good thing.  From all the mail I receive asking for support, it seems clear that a more conservative and traditional way of life is calling women in America.  Unforunately, it seems that many organizations in America ignore their members' wishes and have their own agenda from the top down.  I hope that is the case here so this crackdown can happen as painlessly as possible while achieving full effect for the good of all.
