How To Properly Spank A Nun

Funny how no one ever talks about the nuns.

I suppose it makes sense. After all, Catholic nuns are so rarely embroiled in sex scandals. They are never caught pants down in the rectory with a 10-year-old altar boy, teaching him of the "mystical secretions" of the Lord. They never cost the church billions in litigious payouts for rape, abuse, millennia of pedophilic atrocity and shame. For that, you gotta look to the priests.

The nuns, they keep to themselves. They work quietly, faithfully in the background, the humble and resolute handmaidens to the patriarchy, performing their work without media glare, without need to draw obnoxious battle lines around every sexual or moral issue under the sun. Or so it would seem.

(snip)

Time for some changes. Time for the angry manhammer of fear to come down. The Vatican has given the LCWR five years to shape up, and it put a man in charge of the process. Because, being mere women, they obviously cannot think, act, or figure it out by themselves. And God simply does not abide uppity females. Just ask Eve.

probably due to being created equal to Adam, not of Adam.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillith

"In Jewish folklore, from the 8th–10th centuries Alphabet of Ben Sira onwards, Lilith becomes Adam's first wife, who was created at the same time and from the same earth as Adam. This contrasts with Eve, who was created from one of Adam's ribs. The legend was greatly developed during the Middle Ages, in the tradition of Aggadic midrashim, the Zohar and Jewish mysticism.[3] In the 13th Century writings of Rabbi Isaac ben Jacob ha-Cohen, for example, Lilith left Adam after she refused to become subservient to him and then would not return to the Garden of Eden after she mated with archangel Samael.[4] The resulting Lilith legend is still commonly used as source material in modern Western culture, literature, occultism, fantasy, and horror."

Now that was uppity.

Thanks for the thread, WilliamPitt.

until the late 80s when I got to know a few whose orders had dumped the Mediaeval veils and crap in favor of frumpy but modern clothing. Now they have degrees and go into social work of many descriptions and aren't frustrated by confining dress and confining ritual. They get out and do real things and make real progress and that has turned many of them into very nice women.

But this is a nice smackdown by Morford and the enforcers of heavy patriarchy in the Vatican richly deserve it.

I have a feeling the meetings of the male led LCWR are going to be poorly attended. Women have better things to do than be preached at by some clueless man, and that includes nuns.
