If they did, her example would certainly help them understand what is means to be a woman as she is the perfection of womanhood. <br /><br />Furthermore, they would come to understand what it means to say "Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum". I sometimes can't help but wonder when the last time some of these religious sisters picked up a Rosary. Or did those all go out with the habits...Emily Teodorskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17412848033611843976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-30822281368316131232009-10-12T08:59:22.096-05:002009-10-12T08:59:22.096-05:00"Why is Rome demanding submission from women ...<i>"Why is Rome demanding submission from women religious to church teachings that honestly perplex most Catholics?"<br /><br />That's my favorite quote.

As consecrated layfolk, many of whom hold theological degrees, they ought to be held to a higher standard than ordinary laity. That is, they should know better.

There is no reason why she shouldn't put her name. <br /><br />I will give a personal example. We home school and the material we use is good but there are still areas we need to work on; we are not perfect and thank goodness there is a holy priest who is able to help us.<br /><br />They are ultimately going to do further damage to themselves if they keep up the complaining.<br />I would rather want the visitation so I can speak for myself instead of "rumors". They can either confirm or deny what is suspected and if they humble themselves, they have a chance to grow in holiness or not.<br /><br />Just from a woman's perspective, it is very unappealing for a group to constantly whine and complain. It also shows a lack of maturity.<br /><br />God Bless,<br />Mrs. OAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-286643757519923322009-10-12T07:17:28.353-05:002009-10-12T07:17:28.353-05:00"Why is Rome demanding submission from women ..."Why is Rome demanding submission from women religious to church teachings that honestly perplex most Catholics?"<br /><br />That's my favorite quote.

Hah! Even if only all men were involved . . . or all women, Home Deport HQ would eventually file a court complaint, and the court would send sherrif's deputies to come and close down that store, turn out the recalicitrant staffers, and bring in new hires to run the place the Home Depot way. <br /><br />All this drama about "male dominance" is such a smokescreen and such a red herring for "No Serviam." And, yes, I am a female.<br /><br />No male dominator I've ever encountered can hold a candle to some of the female steamrollers I've come across. One nun slapped a good and holy priest I know - a true gentleman - in his face for insisting on the Church's Orthodox position. "Intimidate," my foot. Hell itself wouldn't intimidate some of these females.Marion (Mael Muire)noreply@blogger.com
