I love this!The liberal and dissenting nuns are having a fit. They don't seem to think that the Vatican has the right to question them to see if they are being faithful to their vows. The Vatican not only has the right, but it's about time.
Responding to a report which claimed that the majority of women religious are not complying with the apostolic visitation, the Apostolic Visitation Office has said that “some congregations” have sent incomplete responses but the effort is moving ahead as planned. The National Catholic Reporter in a Nov. 24 article cited unnamed sources who claimed a significant number of religious congregations were not cooperating with the Apostolic Visitation.
“There's been almost universal resistance” said one unnamed women religious who reportedly was familiar with the congregations’ responses.(I don't have much confidence in 'anonymous' sources) "We are saying 'enough!' In my 40 years in religious life I have never seen such unanimity."
Nov. 20 was the deadline for questionnaires to be returned to the apostolic visitator, Mother Mary Clare Millea, who is superior of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. (she is in the middle of the picture).
The National Catholic Reporter (a dissenter rag), citing “an informed source,” said many women religious submitted only partial answers to the questionnaire. Some sent in copies of their orders’ religious constitutions, arguing that this contained the information requested.
However, a statement from the Apostolic Visitation Office casts doubt on the extent of this uncooperativeness. It's mainly the dissenters who object.
