Sister Schneiders says the trendy sisters have \u201cgiven birth to a new form of religious life.\u201d Read it here.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
At least they now admit it. The trendy sisters in mini-habits are doing something which isn\u2019t really Catholic anymore. Sister says she\u2019s not really very concerned about the new investigation into women\u2019s religious orders that is going on.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To tell the truth, I\u2019m not real concerned about the trendy sisters. They think they\u2019re modern, but they\u2019re really ancient. I mean they\u2019re old. I don\u2019t have anything against pious old ladies\u2013the church runs on pious old ladies. The problem is, these sisters behave not like pious old ladies, but trendy young things.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They should stop and take a long hard look at themselves. \u00a0Their experiment hasn\u2019t worked. Sisters left in droves once things started to change. Their orders are collapsing. Neither have they got new vocations. Good Catholic girls don\u2019t want to join orders like theirs. Meanwhile the traditional orders are attracting lots of young vocations.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The persistence of the trendy sisters doing the same old tired thing is the same sort of lunacy as all liberal madness. \u201cOur trendiness and dissent and new age kookiness isn\u2019t attracting the young. I guess we weren\u2019t trendy enough, dissenting enough and kooky enough. I know, let\u2019s support homosexuality and \u2018earth magic\u2019 too\u2026<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
