It’s really weird seeing the Catholic Church essentially commit suicide by fundamentalism. In cracking down on the nuns, they are not only persecuting one of their last remaining resources, but one of the main groups in the Catholic Church that people have a positive view of.

I don’t know if it was a cynical move on their part; whether they are trying to ‘compete’ with the anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-abortion fundamentalists, or if it’s just earnest patriarchy, but it sucks and it will serve to further the diminishment of the Catholic church and the divide between the laity and the hierarchy.
