    From the article: The reprimands originate from the Vatican’s powerful Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which Pope Benedict XVI led for decades before his elevation to the papacy. You do know the older name for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith? It used to be called the Inquisition.

      You do have to watch out for them nuns. They're feisty. It's about time someone is keeping an eye on them. :)

      I googled for "watch Fiesty Nuns" and from the look of some of the DVDs it returned, I will happily keep an eye on them! :omg:

        So nuns that's following the times and actually help people and behave humanly gets reprimanded, while child molesting priests gets protected. Way to go, no wonder a lot of people sees the Catholic church as a joke. I hope commmon sense wins in the end.

        You beat me to it!

        In its reprimand of Farley, the church focused on her book “Just Love: A Framework for Christian Sexual Ethics,” which it said condones masturbation and homosexuality.

        If they had masturbated instead of molesting children they wouldn't be in this mess.

                      The picture caption "The Vatican, pictured here at night,". Just in case anyone was confused as to why it was so dark.

                      "God was sleeping" is probably the Church's official statement.

                          The Catholic Church’s leaders think America’s nuns have gone rogue and must be reined in. Rouge nuns? We're screwed.
