The Vatican has issued a harsh statement claiming that American nuns do not follow their bishops’ thinking. That statement is profoundly true. Thank God, they don’t. Nuns have always had a different set of priorities from that of bishops. The bishops are interested in power. The nuns are interested in the powerless. Nuns have preserved Gospel values while bishops have been perverting them. The priests drive their own new cars, while nuns ride the bus (always in pairs). The priests specialize in arrogance, the nuns in humility

  1. Would it be fair to expect a priest to take public transportation in the early morning hours while sneaking across the river from Ottawa to the casinos in Hull to gamble away the hard earned dollars donated in good faith to the church by the parishioners and risk being recognized by the great unwashed? Greater minds than old Donnies’ will have to wrestle with that dilema.

  2. It may be that Human Rights may impose a penalty if the church does not find a way to ‘accommodate’ the misguided priest. After all, it is never the employees fault.
