It doesn’t matter how I feel about inclusive language because it manifests the Satanic by attempting to characterize God as He, has chosen NOT to be. Is that a sleight against women? Is the Blessed Virgin Mary’s feminity a sleight against the dignity of men? What a stupid premise.
These nuns you describe are, sadly, just one more example of lost souls, flopping around on the deck of the seductive Bad Ship Militant Feminism, baited and reeled in by the false promise of power over others, a lie which is the domain of the Father of All Lies and a Murderer from the very beginning. The evil one can even seduce consecrated religious sisters, even while convincing them they are doing a greater good than holy mother Church provides for her children. The tragedy, as with all lies, is that they believe these lies to be a “better” truth they are “obliged” to enact. The dictatorship of relativism?
Satan is the ape of God, capable of nothing more than a lousy counterfeit at best. I think nuns presuming to act in persona christi in any way or degree constitutes a pretty clearly visible counterfeit. Consider their VOWS for starters.
I fear there are all kinds of women reading this and enthusiastically forming prejudicial views about me, and characterizing me as a hateful, chauvanistic, woman-hating so-and-so. That’s the offensive modus operandi of all hate-based ideologies like militant feminism: directing the language of emotional violence at people. Unfortunately, enthusiastic killing of the messenger prevents understanding the critically important message: God is God, and his Church has authority over us and these nuns in all matters of faith and morals but also in a very special way BY THEIR EXPRESS CHOICE TO CONSECRATED RELIGIOUS LIFE MADE OVER YEARS OF DISCERNEMENT. The Church is not “infringing their rights.” Rather, it is THEY who, sadly, attempt infringing the rights of God. Somebody has had the wool pulled over their eyes, and it’s not Satan.
To those who may be reading this and writing me off, personally, as a “(fill in the blank)-ist” because I would dare to suggest that this example of Militant Feminism is something less than God’s Natural Law itself, consider that I’m condemning doing violence to God’s Divine Liturgy, which is The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. I’m not condemning nuns or women. That would be absurd.
But they, of all people should know better.
I don’t care how many degrees these nuns – not to mention their Priest(s) – have, I don’t care if there’s a “million-woman march” on the Capitol building supporting their “rights” to re-make God in their own androgynous image and likeness if they FEEL like it: defying the clearly expressed will of God – NO MATTER THE REASON NOR MODE – is still opposition to God’s will. I’m sure Eve would have a few tips for these nuns on the wisdom of this approach to living out their vows of obedience to the Church.
It takes a VERY CONFUSED MIND not to understand this. Unfortunately, the deeply confused moral understanding has become the statistical norm. Nuns are not immune to this confusion, and are they ever targets! Satan is an evil angel. Angels DO have the ability to affect our minds in certain ways. These nuns’ minds have definitely been prevented from seeing this as evil, because I personally believe not one of them would have anything to do with this for even one second longer if they actually understood the evil inherent in what they are being led down the primrose path by the nose to do. They took Holy Orders, which remain holy, even when Satan can appear “as an angel of light,” say the scriptures.
This wilful alteration of the intention and form of the liturgy is dedicated, by the nature of its existence, to opposing the will of God and His Church. Who dares oppose the will of God? Faithful nuns living out their vows fully? Who can “correct” or “improve” God by imposing bizarre notions of gender neutrality upon Him – from within His Divine Liturgy itself! Who would dare to do such a sacreligious thing? Nuns? Demons? Which? Who is responsible for this outrage against the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass? Some holy little old nuns in Florida? I DON’T think so.
I am NOT characterizing consecrated Roman Catholic nuns as evil. They are confused and seduced as anyone could be. Except because they are consecrated religious, they have been specially targeted by Satan for just such confusion. They desperately need our prayers, as do the priests, and bishop who allow this liturgical abuse to continue in the name of God, when it is within their authority to prevent. JMJ, save souls!
I think these nuns who spend so much time devising creative ways to oppose the rights of God in his Divine Liturgy, believing themselves to be some wierd kind of “freedom fighters” should spend a little more time in adoration, and ZERO time pretending to play priestess. If the situation you describe wasn’t so intrinsically, objectively, and demonstrably opposed to God’s will in His Church’s Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, it would just be pathetic.
I believe the mercy of God is that in His wisdom, they are at least NOT instruments of the enemy who seeds weeds among the grain. God always prevents evil from being the worst it COULD POSSIBLY be. He’s arranged it so they don’t teach anymore.
