Reply #84: RC women religious in the US, on the whole,

[musette_sf]

are quite progressive.

I suspect that if you were working with priests instead (as if the vast majority of them would even bother to work among the riff-raff, as there are far more pressing things to tend to, like harassing people trying to go to the doctor), many of them would not be so accepting of your personal path.

You're a clinic escort - do you ever see a bunch of sisters down there? There always seems to be at least one priest in the group in the photos I see in the news and in blogs. I'm sure the occasional sister shows up every now and then, but overall they don't seem to show up at the weekly scrum like the priests.

We CAN find common ground with the vast majority of US women religious - it's the patriarchal hierarchy, from the Vatican Crime Syndicate on down, that is hopelessly out of touch and that is refusing to find common ground.
