| Sister Laurie Brink, OP |
Sister Laurie Brink, OP, and her 2007 LCWR address, “A Marginal Life: Pursuing Holiness in the 21st Century.” (It is not easy to find on the web, but you can find a link to the pdf imbedded in Max Linderman's Patheos piece on the controversy.)
Cardinal Levada and the CDF indicated concern about her address,
particularly her comments on “some religious ‘moving beyond the Church,’ and even ‘beyond Jesus.’” The CDF sees this movement as incompatible with Catholic theology, and incompatible with religious life. Something must be done! In her speech, Sister Brink does indicate that some women religious have moved to a sojourner model, “an option difficult to discuss, since it involves moving beyond the Church, even beyond Jesus.” These women have stepped away from the institutional Church, are in a sense “post-Christian.”The “God of Jesus might well be the God of Moses and the God of Mohammed” — points on which I think most of us, including Church leaders, already agree — and to finding our basic values also and already present in “Buddhism, Native American spirituality, Judaism, Islam” and other religions, for “wisdom is found in the traditions of the Church as well as beyond it”

Someone really is lost, Jesus is God!
James Martin SJ is fomenting and twittering further dissent against the Bishops (#WhatSistersMeanToMe)
You know, victims of the big, bad hierarchical patriarchy. YAWN.
Hey: I have an idea. Why don't all the Jesuits and nuns who hate the church that Christ founded form their own church and leave us all alone to worship our God in the church we love, in peace.
Oh Maria, you are an angry, obsessed person. What happened to you?
Sr. Brink was simply articulating the range of spiritual experiences people have. If you actually read her talk you would see that she wasn't endorsing them. Honesty is the first casualty in the jihadist world in which you live.
I'm certain when Mother Teresa's notes were published a few years ago and you read the headline that she had some serious doubts about her faith along the way that you instantly condemned her.
I have rear it. It is unadulterated idiocy.
Low on testosterone Anonymous? Scared to sign your name? You're not afraid of the girls now, are you?
"You're not afraid of the girls now, are you?"
Pitiful.
It sure nough is.
The obnoxious Anonymous poster is a troll who gets his jollies provoking responses. Cut him off. Ignore him.
How intolerant--someone has crashed your little hate party so you want to "cut him (her?) off."
More manipulation and undermining the Bishops from Fr. Martin:
An Ursuline nun taught me as much about Ignatian spirituality as any Jesuit. And what a great director!” Soon I started to notice others weighing in, and some of the answers, many of them quite personal, brought a lump to my throat
Fr. Martin always seems to have the vapors. Does anyone remember when Jesuits were REAL MEN? This is so embarrasing. Truly.
Maria you are way off...don't know what you're saying...and if you are so angry, if you have or love children, why don't you write to the heirarchy about their lack of morality. Unless you're a theologian, you have no business on this blog.
