Does Amtrak know these nuns hate the Pope?

http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2013/10/sspv-nuns-in-amtrak-ad.html

(from the article)

"We're not sedevacantists (as it is an untenable position), but we can't blame Amtrak for recognizing long habits, full veils and -- yes -- wimples are identified with a Roman Catholic sister, not a 70-year-old lady wearing a lapel pin on the sportsjacket of a pants suit."

Probably doesn't care.

A nun is a nun is a nun. We stereotype.

It is funny, though--Marys. Sort of assumes that you infer that all of the nuns are named Mary.
