NunsToo: How the Catholic Church has worked to silence women challenging abuse

From left, Sisters Josephine Villoonnickal, Alphy Pallasseril and Anupama Kelamangalathu, who have supported the accusation of rape against Bishop Franco Mulakkal, in November at the St. Francis Mission Home in Kuravilangad, India. By Lila Rice Goldenberg Lila Rice Goldenberg is a doctoral student in history at the University of Pennsylvania studying gender and book history in 15th and 16th century England, France and the Low Countries.

Historically, the church has opposed groups of religious women who have acted against or outside church control, even if they were acting out of religious conviction. In the Middle Ages, the church used similar tactics with the Beguines, a lay religious movement for women popular throughout medieval cities in the Low Countries, France and Germany.

At the Council of Vienne in 1311, the church ordered the closure of all beguinages and told the movement’s members to enter convents, which would put them under the direct control of the church. Many Beguines refused to acquiesce and continued to live independently as they had for hundreds of years. In a masterful public relations move, many groups changed their names to epithets such as “feminae castae” or “sorores bonae” to circumvent the ban on the movement.

Wow, why does this come at no surprise ?!

WAPO continuing its anti-catholic campagin One of your writers was soliciting anyone who would talk poorly about their catholic school experience. It was filled with people responding with positive experiences. You want the world to forget all the good the church does.

How about a story how Islam silences women permanently?

May as well kick ‘em when they’re down, right?

Pray about it.

When do we decide the Catholic Church is a criminal enterprise dedicated to serving sexual predators?

DUH! It's a patriarchal religion, where men are more important than women. Priests and nuns are far from equal in this church.

Sounds like...a bad habit.

Ex-Pope Benedict XVI breaks silence on church's sex abuse crisis and blames the sexual revolution and liberalsPope Benedict XVI has broken his silence in a rare essay on the sex abuse crisis in the Catholic Church, claiming that it was caused in part by the sexual revolution of the 1960s and the liberalization of the church's moral teaching. Someone needs to inform Voltaire-he wrote about it in 'Candide' in the 18th century. And instead of telling him he's terrible and wrong, you go ahead and give him a louder voice for his horrible opinions. It was the gangsta rap and peppermint schnapps!!!!!
