Why are people on here so critical of these Nuns. Their heart is in the right place and they seem to be making steps in the right direction. They have a powerful voice inside the organization. If they dont do it perfectly they get slammed

Steve – There is great truth in what you write and in the RCC’s shameful silence during the Holocaust and similar genocide.

Although I am not Catholic, nor inclined toward supporting religious entities, I am appreciative of the Nuns’ statement and I will be making a contribution conveying my sentiments.

I think that they have done quite sufficiently with this very firm statement, and I for one, am very appreciative.

The male Catholic hierarchy were silent about the Shoah and are silent about their fellow believers driving homosexuals to kill themselves. I think their silence is testimony to their eliminationist Christian agenda. Had they learned the lessons of the Second World War or the Rwandan genocide they would have spoken out. Their silence speaks volumes about their real beliefs and their callous, eliminationist agenda.

These nuns are a wonderful example of a prophetic voice in a challenging time. The bishops’ silence is the real scandal and certainly not the example of the Jesus in the Gospels who stood firmly with the downtrodden, and the marginalized.

These nuns are the very best in a dark church. Their voices are prophetic. Their example should be honored not mocked. Are you part of Opus Dei?

These ‘nuns’ should have the courage to come out themselves. Come out as liberal protestants that is.
The bishops won’t say anything about gay suicide and bullying because they are are concerned about spiritual suicide of the souls of gay people. One would think that nuns might be as aware of the spiritual life and superiority thereof.

Fighting bullying is something the Church has done for all persons being bullied, not only the Homosexuals. Can the dear sisters suggest additional techniques for preventing bullying? Those dear sisters end their involvement with finger pointing. Perhaps they can go out into the streets and “clubs” to exercise their brand of social justice.

No wonder the vatican is investigating the sisters of this nation…they are a disgrace, with the exception of those in convents.
