In stark contrast, the following appeared together in recent news coverage...
* Upcoming lecture to feature speaker who has documented Belgian nuns' efforts to save Jewish children during WWII ("These children found sanctuary with other families and schools - but especially in Roman Catholic convents and orphanages")
* An Irish religious order may face a lawsuit for allegedly allowing experimental vaccines to be used on ("hundreds of") babies in maternity homes they operated. At least one recipient claims the experimental drug was injected into her without parental consent
[Commentary: Like previous scandals involving women religious, don't expect the latter will silence feminists' claims that women in "higher roles" would make for a "more humane Church."]
[Reminder: It is impossible for women to ordained (click here for more information)]
