Don’t read the comments. “The Vatican hates women”…“this is just a smokescreen” blah blah blah. Haters gonna hate. The Leftist press doesn’t really care about gender equality. They just want to nab the Bride of Christ for not agreeing with them. They’re never happy, even when they hear news you think would please them. Okay, venting rant over.
 
Liberalization and feminism are enormous threats in the church today and this needs to be fought. But we have to be very careful not to attack individual nuns (many of whom are doing a fantastic job) or in anyway marginalize the importance of their role in the church…

I remember reading somewhere that to be a true Catholic we have to be the staunchest conservative we can be in our heads but be the biggest bleading-heart liberals we can be in our hearts. I think the vatican has done this task well here by first releasing a report that effectively outlines valid abuse of the church doctrine but then having the pope show appreciation and respect for the role and the crosses that many nun’s have to carry each day! This follow-up by the pope shouldn’t be seen as a retraction or contradiction of the previous document but as a completion of a message that the document alone couldn’t convey 🙂 .
 
Typical clueless reporting that equates an ad limina speech with a commanding juridical document.

This speech does not cancel out the prior document, nor does it soften it in any way.
