Dolan and others didn't like the idea that the Nuns were involved in politics in a way different from him.<br /><br />The American nuns have also had a lot of influence on nuns around the world. I suspect there are many bishops elsewhere who would not like the idea of their nuns becoming as independent as the American Nuns.<br /><br />The reality is that American nuns more than anyone in the church took Vatican II seriously. It called for religious to completely rethink their lives in accordance with both their original charism, and the needs of contemporary life. Most bishops, priests and lay people did not do the equivalent.Jack Rakoskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755655685437527617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315362208709650810.post-26089129302626266062017-06-11T20:23:19.532-04:002017-06-11T20:23:19.532-04:00I watched the whole thing.

Weren't European nuns involved in similar activities?

I don't think of anyplace up there as a bastion of the Democratic Party. They went for Trump by 54 percent. Pretty much the whole West Side did.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14702081408526023197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315362208709650810.post-30649553944037922892017-06-11T15:22:17.021-04:002017-06-11T15:22:17.021-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14702081408526023197noreply@blogger.com
