The following is from an article concerning the LCWR, a supposedly Catholic group notable for liberalism, dissent, radical feminism, anti-clericalism, paganism, New Age practices, witchcraft, and for talk of being "post-Christian" & "moving beyond the Church, even beyond Jesus":
"[T]here is a long and venerable tradition of dissent from Catholic teachings. There is even a word for dissenters: 'Protestants.'"

Since CNS coverage has provided the following quotation from the outgoing LCWR president...
"Simply put, we are no longer as we once were. We can't be"
...might we conclude that the Vatican investigation is already a success?

Not content to let the Vatican conduct its investigation on its own terms, those ever-docile LCWR sisters are requesting that the Vatican "alter some of the methods being employed" in the Apostolic Visitation. They are "expressing concern" over "a lack of full disclosure about the motivation and funding sources for the studies." The group (notable for liberalism, dissent, radical feminism, anti-clericalism, paganism, New Age practices, witchcraft, and for talk of being "post-Christian" & "moving beyond the Church, even beyond Jesus") also "object[s] to the fact that their orders will not be permitted to see the investigative reports about them that are being submitted directly to the Vatican." At their meeting - which featured a pro-abort keynote speaker - they also presented their "highest honor" to a sister who has apparently advocated women's "ordination".

If only this was written to be humorous!
The USCCB news service - previously charged with "failure to consistently apply reliably Catholic editorial standards" - in its coverage of the annual LCWR meeting quoted their controversial keynote speaker as follows:
"The official number of women religious in this country might have fallen, but I feel it is safe to say that the number of religious women who are acting out of their faith to serve society is higher than ever before"
Given the facts, it seems impossible to wrap one's mind around that. It seems she's saying that the much larger number of orthodox sisters from previous generations weren't "acting out of their faith to serve society" as well as the much smaller of group of modern dissenting, witchcraft-promoting sisters of today.
But now for the "funny" part (if only it was a joke!). The same speaker says the sisters she spoke with at the conference "did not really understand why the Vatican had requested the apostolic visitation." She said: "Puzzlement is the word" and follows with "Here they are, all day, every day, trying to serve the people of God, and suddenly they feel like they're under investigation."
Gee, can't imagine why the Vatican would investigate a group claiming to be Catholic while promoting liberalism, dissent, radical feminism, anti-clericalism, paganism, New Age practices, witchcraft, and which has discussed "moving beyond the Church, even beyond Jesus."
If it wasn't so sad, it would be funny.
