    Catholic Church Cracks Down On Nuns

    Wow, it's nice to see that they take false doctrines on sexuality seriously. The question I have is, what is really contained in the book, since I have no idea but what is summarized in this article?

    The Vatican says it discovered that “public statements by the lcwr that disagree with or challenge positions taken by the bishops, who are the church’s authentic teachers of faith and morals, are not compatible with its purpose.” The report berated the nuns for broadcasting discussions about the ordination of women, and ministering to homosexual people. It also lambasted them for devoting excessive time to “promoting issues of social justice” while neglecting to comment on “issues of crucial importance to the life of the church and society,” such as homosexual “marriage” and abortion.
    ......................I'd like to know if that statement is accurate.

    Yes, I'd like to know if that statement is accurate too. I'd say it's hard to believe, but I know that for many years (100s) there have been lesbian lovers and homosexual lovers and heterosexual lovers within the servants of the Catholic Churches history.

    The article seems to pigeon hole American nuns against the Vatican. Do you think this disagreement is as widespread as they make it seem? I'm curious to know if there are there any other pocket of nuns in the world that have differing views with the Vatican? And, how does the Vatican respond to them?

    I'm more concerned with the accuracy of the summation of the book. Because regardless of the nuns differing views, the Bible's views on homosexuality and other like things mentioned in the article are clear and it's not the nun's opinions that define truth, but it is God's Word that defines what truth is for us.

    Very true! It is the TRUTH of the Word of God that ultimately matters. I also see disunity in the Body of Christ as a way that Satan works undercover. When he brings division we are not able to show Christ as powerfully and fully as we could.
