Nuns frustrated after meeting Pope's delegate..............

http://ncronline.org/news/sisters-stories/sartain-offers-lcwr-few-details-some-sisters-say

*************
Several LCWR members, while not giving specifics of Sartain’s remarks or the questions asked of the archbishop, told NCR afterwards of their general feeling of the meeting. A few of the members expressed appreciation that Sartain spent time at their assembly; others said there was a general sense of frustration, fatigue, and disappointment with the direction of the afternoon.

“This is just more of the same,” said one. Another, asked to express a general feeling, would only make a so-so gesture with her hands.

"Sartain offers LCWR few details, some sisters say"

It's spelled correctly.

So says the Catholic Church.

Can't remember the Toon with the Pope complaining about the Nuns, but he said something about being the penis-haver.

It was funny.

Will be interesting to see what they have to say at the end of the conference.

I hope they make a strong statement.
