Are These Sisters Dangerous Women?
At The National Catholic Reporter, Patrick T. Reardon argues that it isn’t just the Catholic hierarchy that portrays nuns in a negative light. Reardon writes, “the disrespect that modern society–whether Hollywood or the Vatican–accords to nuns” is pervasive. Reardon suggests that “American culture goes to such great efforts to misunderstand nuns … because women religious are a challenge to the status quo.”
