I continue to monitor the tense situation that exists between U.S. nuns and Vatican officials. I must admit that I am mystified as to why the Roman Catholic hierarchy chose to target women of faith who have dedicated their lives to the well-being of others.
In comparison to bishops and priests, nuns have been guilty of very few crimes against humanity. Therefore, especially in light of the continuing sexual abuse scandal, it is an outrage that the Vatican has chosen to target nuns for harsh treatment that goes beyond reason.
Our good sisters have served the Catholic Church well for many centuries. They continue to serve in such varied disciplines as education, social justice, medicine, parish leadership and assorted ministries that are too numerous to mention.
In the photo above, I am demonstrating my solidarity with U.S. nuns. There will be prayer vigils scheduled throughout the United States during the month of May. The vigils will be designed as a prayerful means for Catholics to show their support and appreciation for all that our nuns do for us.
It is my prayer that the Vatican will show appreciation for our sisters, as opposed to persecuting them.
Peace to all,
Ray
