The Vatican goes after local Catholic women religious for supporting contraception compromise

[Anonymous]

The Vatican singled out a DC-based group named NETWORK. I know some of these sisters and they are truly wonderful, wonderful women. This is insane.

Misogynistic. No surprise there. Anything that "threatens" the superiority of men and domination over women has to be completely squashed.

PP again. Why do women belong to such organizations? It makes no sense. They are the ones with power. They bare the babies, male and female.

Radical Feminism. The Cardinal noted a prevalence of certain radical feminist
themes incompatible with the Catholic faith in some of the programs and presentations
sponsored by the LCWR, including theological interpretations that risk distorting faith
in Jesus and his loving Father who sent his Son for the salvation of the world.
Moreover, some commentaries on “patriarchy” distort the way in which Jesus has
structured sacramental life in the Church; others even undermine the revealed
doctrines of the Holy Trinity, the divinity of Christ, and the inspiration of Sacred
Scripture.

It's not just the radicals. They are looking at the LCRW. All of our parish nuns are in participating orders. And they are going after the Catholic Health Association. They are going after Sr. Elizabeth Johnson for "overemphasizing female descriptions of God"

This is not just about radicals and fakes. If our own nuns can't cut it, then we are all screwed.
