    In case you thought the all guys club that runs the 1.2 billion Catholics was going the progressive route with women think again. The new Pope Francis l issued the crackdown orders against the American Nuns in the Leadership Conferrence Of Women Religious. Francis l determined that the women were to radical and undermining the Catholic Faith. Not in all areas, Francis l thought some of their humanitarian work was ok, but.

    Like a good old fashioned Judicial Committee meeting the Nuns had to appear before a guy and confess all. Francis l put Archbishop Mueller, prefect for the Congregation For The Doctrine Of The Faith, in charge of the interrogation.

    The Nuns were encouraged to be 'open and frank' and that the conversations will be for the benefit of the Church.

    More guys, led by Archbishop Sartain, were appointed by Francis l to 'review' and 'rewrite' the guidelines for the Nuns, apparently the Nuns are unable to write for themselves.

    The Nuns who lead the Women Religious have vowed to dialogue 'as long as possible' but have vowed not to compromise.

    Author Kenneth Briggs, who has written several books on the clash between the vatican and the Nuns, writes- ' It seems like the Vatican has put a more appealing salesman in charge of the same old product'.

    Francis l is merely reinforcing the position of his predecessor Pope Benedict on clamping down on the goals and aims of the +57,000 US Nuns.

    I doubt that JW women would ever even get to the point of organizing as a group to dialogue with the GB and DOs. Interesting that a conservative group like the LDS have listened to the women members and have allowed women to offer prayers at their conventions.

    Crackdown on American nuns? That's hysterical spin.

    You probably think bound feet were fashionable.
