During the #FrenchRevolution, these #Carmelite sisters refused to sign the Constitution Civile du Clerge that would render their Order submissive to the state. Kind of like the Little Sisters of the Poor.
I had the privilege of seeing a performance of Francis Poulenc’s opera Dialogues De Carmelites in NYC in the 80’s. Bottom line: don’t mess with nuns - you won’t win. Image
Here’s the incredible Jessye Norman as Sister Teresa of St Augustine: m.youtube.com/watch?v=XwVa04…

1. I'm seeing what I believe to be sincere apologies from some journalists and verified media persons regarding their lack of professionalism in rushing to judgement re the #CovingtonCatholic situation.
2. These apologies are welcome and necessary, but they don't address the damage that cannot be undone which was inflicted upon young people who are about to embark on adulthood - applying to colleges, looking for employment, etc.
3. These young people will forever have these smears follow them through their life every time they proffer their resume with the word "Covington" on it. It will also affect anyone who ever has or ever will attend that school. The damage is incalculable.

Your arrogance is quite bold. The laity is the church. They have sacrificed finances to give their children a catholic education, have tithed, followed church tradition, looked for guidance. To have any moral authority, @Pontifex must release any reports of abuse. Period.
My grandmother had 15 children - Catholic Mother of the Year. My father sent all 5 of us to catholic school on a reporter’s low salary and faithfully tithed to parish, Boystown and Maryknoll Missions. My sister is a Nashville Dominican. Transparency now.
I don’t care if every previous Pope is exposed. My allegiance is not to any man or institution, but only to Christ crucified and risen, who warned that it would be better to drown with a millstone around your neck than to cause his little ones to stumble.
