    Take a look at the Daughters of Mary in NY, the Sisters of St. Thomas Aquinas in FL, or the Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen in Washington, those congregations are growing not declining in membership.

    They get no respect from the Catholic Church and priests. That's why.

    The main important factor is: Before becoming a nun you must not have any kind of debt. How many Americans have some kind of debt? It may be medical, college, or for other reasons. If they offered debt relief for a lifetime of servitude I'm sure the numbers would increase

    Religious men and women are SET APART from the worls. That is why so many followed Jesus. He live in the world but NOT of the world.

    Sister Kelly Williams is the perfect example as of why no new vocations enter the religious life. Young woumen are looking for a life that is different to the world. When religious women are trying to be like the rest of the the gane is over. Netflix😮😮 I will not be surprise if she tells her audience that she too watches porn. 😮 young women are looking for true Cristian living. Christians who live distinct lives from the mess lives in the world.

    We all take a different spiritual path. As long as one doesn't hurt another, it's all good.
    That said, I don't believe a 6 hours a day contemplative order is the best way to serve our fellows. Especially if the young women are avoiding society.
    But that's just me.

    May the consolations of Mary our Holy mother be poured in the church to attract more nuns in the service of the holy catholic church.

    America is losing the hippy nuns who became social justice spinsters. The orders who adhere to the faith are growing.

    In a country that rewards people who step on others to get ahead, I’m not surprised.

    Young people don't want to devote themselves to a religious order that has a history of abuse. Shocker.

    Modern day nuns are not Nuns. Where’s the habit. There’s a reason why no one wants to join. They act like a joke and not to the seriousness and devotion that was previously practiced. Vatican II’s aftermath has created rot.

    The traditional orders are thriving, the more liberal ones are not.

    Nuns are interesting because they consider themselves to be agents working in God’s service. They’re on a mission. So their purpose in life is to promote “justice” using whatever means are at their disposal.

    If you have ever seen “The Flying Nun” you’ll recall that Sally Field didn’t “fly”. She was lifted by the holy spirit, in the form of wind. The same Holy Spirit who will make all believers fly.

    But Nuns aren’t content to merely wait for the arrival of utopia. They have a plan which has been in progress for hundreds of years under the direction of the Catholic Church in Rome. The Nuns want to encode “justice” into perception itself. That’s what “Bewitched” was about. Samantha magically made things appear, because she wanted those things to appear for good reasons. She was a very just administrator.

    So as the logic goes, if Nuns can “see” better than other people, they’ll be better able to decide what should appear. To that end, they’ve developed two independent systems.

    The first is placement of coded objects into television shows and movies. For example, a green vase on the table might mean “attack”. The person standing next to the table represents the hated group.

    The second system is more complex. The visual spectrum seen by cats is wider than the spectrum seen by humans. So the Nuns are breeding little girls who possess cat DNA which gives them better eyesight. That better eyesight can see portions of the light spectrum which are invisible to normal people. It then becomes easy to place signs and signals which only members of that group can see. These cat girls are supposed to be enlightened killers on a mission. Flying Nuns.

    Sadly, the contamination of human DNA has been going on for nearly a hundred years. The only way to correct the problem is to give every single person in the world an honest DNA test. Earth is only for Homo Sapiens.

    What this doesn't mention is that the more traditional orders are actually having ample vocations. It's the orders that modernised and ditched habits that are largely dying off.

  22. @thebr5294

    People want kids and are scared of the problems that Nuns/Priests face everyday.

  23. @skn9895

    January 1, 2024 at 1:42 pm

    Did Vatican II have anything to do with the declining number of vocations? If it was implemented to attract more people to the church, it seems to have had the opposite effect.

    That's because these are not nuns!
    The real religious orders of nuns ended with masonic installation of freemason and communist collaborator Angelo Roncalli (aka John XXIII) at the death of the last real Pope Pius XII.
    People act all surprised or say that's nonsense, conspiracy etc. it was clearly layed out in the 1700s Masonic document The Alta Vendita
    With the infiltration of the masonic sects and the installation of every antipope (not elected) since then the intention was the systematic replacement of the real Catholic Church with that of the Religion of Man, the ultimate Pagan religion which is what the Novus Ordo is, they changed all the sacraments , every one , starting with Bishop and Priest ordinations in 1968 thereby invalidating them. What this means is , and this is the objective truth no matter how people may deny it because of their feelings coming to some fantasy conclusion that would make it acceptable, is that there are no longer any , zero, nadda, zilch any Catholic Bishops , Priests, Cardinals, Deacons and Popes left in the Novus Ordo. They are all actors , those that believe they are actually priests and bishops even if they appear to act traditional are not. They are layman who have been deceived.
    There is only a very small remnant of the real Catholic Church remaining, but it exists and will exist until the culmination of all things as Christ promised that the gates of hell will not prevail against it .

    Nuns and priests should be able to marry.

    January 1, 2024 at 1:42 pm

    To be honest I can imagine the number of nuns growing as more women opt out of motherhood and don’t feel as much need for marriage. The church needs better PR and to evolve with the times and go back to serving and loving people no matter what.

    Sex is a wonderful gift from God to humanity. Those who conceal their sexual activities while professing celibacy but still engage in sexual transgressions are committing something deeply wrong. It's advocated that both women and men consider marriage to fulfill their sexual desires.

Lawyer unpacks judge’s ruling limiting DOJ access to Ilhan Omar’s records

Published

on

By



The Trump administration pushed for an unusually aggressive search of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s house in recent days in an immigration fraud probe that targets the congresswoman, possible false statements made on government documents, and a potential conspiracy, according to multiple people familiar with the investigation.

Prosecutors, however, first had to contend with a federal magistrate judge, in a prolonged back-and-forth that hasn’t previously been reported. Judge Matthew Sharbaugh of the DC District Court ultimately limited how the Justice Department could access Omar’s documents in Monday’s search, before he would approve the warrant, because of her role as a member of Congress and the Constitutional protections that affords, multiple people familiar with the investigation told CNN.

Faulty AI-assisted intel nearly set off US military op on Chinese ship: Sources

Published

on

By



The intelligence report, circulated across the US military this spring in the midst of the war with Iran, immediately set off alarm bells: A Chinese ship in the Middle East was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program. The US military swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according to four sources familiar with the episode. According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said.

It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was. The report, according to one of the sources, was “entirely false.”
