re: #310 Obdicut

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.

I don’t know about suicide. I mean, is this really any different than what the Catholic Church has done before? To me? This is no big surprise. The Catholic Church has been like this on occasion for as long as I’ve been alive. I never fell for the “oh but they accept evolution” PR campaign. I don’t stay up at night thinking about them but for me they will always represent an archaic and superstitious organization. One can readily apply no true Scotsman here. No true Vatican would do such a thing! Yes they would and have.
