Rode speaks on Vatican Radio

So now Rode is moving from damage control to passing the buck:

"In the radio interview, Rodé said the investigation was a response to concerns, including by "an important representative of the U.S. church" regarding "some irregularities or omissions in American religious life."

As if we're supposed to believe that some of these "irregularities or omissions in American religious life" warrant a full blown inquisition of EVERY religious congregation in America?

Get real, Rode. People are not that dumb....especially those of us who've been educated by American NUNS. And besides, I defy you to let us know who that so-called "important representative of the U.S. church" is and just how many pedophile priests he harbored from justice before selling out the nuns to take the media heat off of his archdiocese.

Thank God for feminist spirit! Why are the men in robes so afraid of it? We've been hammered on the head with masculine spirit for 2,000 years now. A little balance is a good thing.

tell it to Teresa of Avila

Are men and women who think women should be allowed to vote, to have jobs, to have control of their own bodies, to earn equal pay for equal work, to hold the same positions in the Church that women held in the early Church, to say NAY to abuse, etc., etc., etc., evil?

Portagemi - men in robes are "rightly" afaid of the "feminist spirit" because aspects of it are pagan.

Piggybacking on Bro. Charles' statement:

The other day, the last part of the mini-series of St. Teresa of Jesus was on EWTN. Sometimes I swear these conservatives don't pay attention to their own stories/items/persons they are holding up as their "banners". I may be wrong, but, it seems to me that there is a line in the movie, in the midst of all the trouble St. Teresa and her Order was having, where she says something to the effect that she shouldn't have left the Order in men's hands. The idea I got was that she was sick and tired of the men overseers. However, it also shows how women can be just as bad as the men, if not worse at times. (There were times her own Sisters in the Order didn't want her around.)

These are the times we are living in. Not much different than what St. Teresa of Jesus or Hildegarde or many others lived through. Perhaps more of it, and more widely broadcast due to communications systems.

Jesus Christ, our King. This is the focus we need right now. I think that's what the lady Saints (and gentlemen ones) would say to us.

Aspects of feminism are "pagan"? That's YOUR warped definition, buddy.
