The Apostolic Visitation started last year with reports of concerns, irregularities about a secular mentality or even a feminist spirit pervading America’s female religious. A letter from the Vatican followed. A simple request and a questionnaire to help the sisters and to respond to concerns for their welfare.
And then things got ugly. Many women religious teamed up and refused to comply. It was like Norma Rae but with off-the-rack gender neutral pantsuits.
But now, in a world where the Vatican’s Apostolic Visitation was rebuffed, many Sisters forgot something. One very important thing. You never ignore Rome.
While many wondered what the Vatican’s response would be, the second wave of the Apostolic Visitation will be carried out under the cover of darkness by…NUNJAS!!!!!!!!!!!…
Read the rest at the National Catholic Register. Or else…

"Just when liberated nuns thought it was safe to go back to tai-chi class . . ."
I love it!! Had to laugh at the "nun-chucks," too, Patty.
Seriously, if someone could make a video based on this . . . I've got one going on right now in my head, and it's working better than my coffee at waking me up this morning.

Forgive me for being unfamiliar, I got confused when I saw the accronym NCR and immediately thought about the wayward "National Catholic Reporter". Is the "National Catholic Register" a more reliable/orthodox publication? I've never heard of it before today.

Early Riser – Short answer, yes.

Really enjoyed reading that with the voice of the late, great Don LaFontaine doing the voice-over in my head. And just remember, never turn your back on Mother Superior!

That puts a big crimp in the weekly parish RCIA/Zumba fitness lessons led by famed pastoral assistant, polyester model, and ecumenist, Sr. Judy.
