Catholic29:
And if anyone is interested, here is Catholic Culture’s(formerly PetersNet.net) review and fidelity rating of their site catholicculture.org/sites/site_view.cfm?recnum=1836]

And here is the Holy See’s rating of their fidelity: A PRIORY IN FULL COMMUNION WITH THE APOSTOLIC SEE

The Vatican may not have disciplined them yet, but that does not mean they do not proclaim things contrary to the faith.
 
Unfortunately if you lived in Erie you’d probably be crabby and dissident too, it snows even in July there!

Does bad weather make women want to be priestesses and defy the Vatican?

Indeed, but being “IN FULL COMMUNION WITH THE APOSTOLIC SEE” and espousing ALL of the Church’s teachings are two entirely different things.

Does the name Sister Joan Chittister ring a bell? If you knew anything about her you would think she was NO Mother Angelica, and you would certainly never catch the two at Mass together.:rolleyes:

If you need an example about how this priory is in disagreement with the Magisterium, here you go crisismagazine.com/march2002/feature4.htm

As you see about a third of the way down in the article, Sister Chittister supports ordination of women in open defiance of John Paul II’s apostolic letter Ordinatio Sacerdotalis, and the prioress Sister Christine Vladmiroff backs her up.
 
Yes, weather and pollution from Lake Erie does weird things… I’ve seen their website a while ago and thought, wow. I now have another reason never to go to erie (other than to fish steelhead nearby, but I never have even done that). I’ve only been to erie twice in my life and neither time was anything i’d show slides of to my friends.

I am familiar with the area. They do not call it dreary Erie for nothing.

How are we to know that these two individuals are nuns? The one in red is the prioress.

Sad, very sad.

As for charging for spiritual direction, I think that is allowed but I would caution anyone from going there for it.

I always suggest a priest for spiritual direction.

I contacted a monastery nearby by email. The abbot wrote back and I have been going to him about every 6 weeks or so for direction. He never asked for money and when I brought it up he gave me a funny look. So now I just drop some money into the slots where you pay for the books and baked goods.

The old hippies are dying out. They still think it is 1968. They lost the battle, too bad they do not want to accept the truth.

buzzcut:
Is it normal to pay for spiritual direction? This page eriebenedictines.org/Pages/SPIRITRESOURCE/spirituality.html
says Spiritual Direction is $25/hour. I went to see a priest recently for informal direction and I didn’t offer to pay anything and he didn’t ask. What is normal?

My wife goes to spiritual direction with a priest. She has never paid for it. Usually, she’ll give the person a nice gift around Christmastime and maybe for some other special occasion. If you are getting spiritual direction from a priest or religious, you shouldn’t be charged anything but should feel free to make a goodwill offering to the parish or monastery. If the spiritual director is a layperson, they often charge. However I would be very wary of layperson spiritual directors as many of them will NOT be in line with the church and may get all New-Agey.

This order’s page looks just like the one for the Leadership Conference of Women Religious - not a habit in sight! No wonder these are all the dying orders.
 
I have a priest as my Spiritual Director. He has never once brought up payment. I think he would be shocked if I did.
