Sister Joan Nutter On Oprah

It’s a good day for Sister Joan Chittister. Her man Francis, who’s sent Pope Benedict XVI packing in more ways than one, last week let the world know exactly what he thought of Benedict’s 2012 attempts to encourage Catholic nuns in America to stop being heretics.

Now I don’t know about you, but I think Benedict may have had a point on this one. I mean, don’t you think it’s kinda nice when Catholic nuns aren’t heretics? Sure, in the wake of Vatican II it’s not absolutely necessary—but it’s nice, right?

So Benedict appointed an overseer to the Leadership Conference of Women Religious to try to encourage a little orthodoxy on their part. Sister Joan, who had served as president of the group at one time, didn’t like that at all. She issued a statement saying: ‘Within the canonical framework, there is only one way I can see to deal with this [the Vatican crackdown]. They would have to disband canonically and regroup as an unofficial interest group.”

Yep, rather than embrace orthodox Catholic teaching, Sister Joan called for the LCWR to shut down and start over. That’s how close Pope Benedict came to reining in these nutters.

But, alas, it was not meant to be. Benedict mysteriously decided he needed some R&R, Francis was elected Pope and now, a couple years later, the LCWR is free to preach their harebrained heresy with full Vatican approval.

What’s that you say? I shouldn’t call these girls nutters? But, that’s what they are. Check out this video, for example. Now here we have Sister Joan clearly spit-balling a definition of the soul that is such a howler even Oprah is trying not to laugh:

 
























That’s totally cool, Sister! Now what flavor pudding would you like with your meal this evening?
