The sisters are in trouble.

This isn't especially comment-worthy, but does anyone else find it generally disturbing how much institutional control men have over women in the Catholic Church? A story in today's New York Times, "Nuns in the U.S. Are Facing Scrutiny by the Vatican," just kind of generally troubles me. I guess some of the sisters are out of line and need to be whipped back into shape so they've ordered an Apostolic Visitation. These women are going to be "corrected" by a corrupt oligarchy of old boys? Right.

My sister was almost a Sister of St. Joseph. I think I'll have to ask her about this.

But on a side note, I agree with the Catholic Church that the nuns should stop practicing Reiki. I don't care if it's non-Christian but it is unscientific. We're not Jedis.
