I teach in a Catholic school- a lay person teaching in a CS was unheard of 40 years ago. This scrutiny won't help recruit new young women into the ministry...
Grrrrrr to you, ultra conservative church officials. If you make nuns go back to wearing habits, living in convents, and leading very secluded lives- we won't have any left to speak of.
TriGirl, I'm a non-practicing Catholic because of the Church's attitude toward women and reproductive rights. Two of my aunts are/were nuns (one died). Both of them exceedingly intelligent ladies. Ironically, my one aunt was the dean of a seminary. Ironic that she could not become a priest, dontcha think?

I agree 100% that Sister Madonna is great for vocations and is a wonderful role model for all women.

You'd think the Vatican would have more important things to address.
