Another interesting Tweet from the English language spokesman of the Holy See.
![]()
He refers to an article by Ann Carey in the National Catholic Register, though he probably has not even read it since he does not link to it directly on the Tweet but to comments on it at the modernist Commonweal. The recent report on Leadership Conference of Women Religious, ordered by Pope Benedict XVI, the report is a whitewash which should not be surprising given the current crisis in the Church.
As I wrote a few days ago, it really does not matter. Time marches on and the biological clock is ticking. In ten years they will all be gone or incapacitated. They have no progeny; their work was straw and they are "sterile" and their Orders will die out with them.
The greater issue is that this is the Holy See's English-language spokesman. He has no business engaging in these tweets and insults of other faithful Catholics who happen to have an opinion other than his own.
This is the worst form of clericalism. The Pope should reprimand him for his constant barrages and send him packing.
As for being prophets of doom, better that than purveyors of the same.
