Vatican Reprimands a Group of U.S. Nuns and Plans Changes

Here is a great article about a boys' club that clearly has its priorities in order.

“I’m stunned,” said Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of Network, a Catholic social justice lobby founded by sisters. Her group was also cited in the Vatican document, along with the Leadership Conference, for focusing its work too much on poverty and economic injustice, while keeping “silent” on abortion and same-sex marriage. (my emphasis)

WWJD?

And, no, there is no history of physical activity in my family.

Perhaps a bit vague on the sarcastic comment. It just seemed to me that the "boys club" as you so aptly describe it, has a long, long history of arrogant disregard for women as individuals and complete disdain for the rights of women in general.

I think the choice of words is so revealing--shame on these devout women for spending time on such trivial pursuits as social justice and poverty. They should be advancing the causes that are chosen by the "chosen." (Read: no women allowed).

The part about the physical activity, your cartoon was hilarious.
