I’m digging into (reading about) the Carmelite nuns & the hysterical man-baby bishop story. I’m doing so as I reread & write about the Maryland AG ‘s report #ClergyChildRape & #ClergyAbuse In Archdiocese of Baltimore. 1/

2/Over & over again in this MD AG report there are guys who went to Catholic rape rehabs two & three time & were never publicly outed. Families were never alerted re: these perpetrators histories when bishops cycled them back into ministry with children.

3/The story of these nuns may never come out. The talk the “adultery” of one is shocking, b/c one rarely (save, perhaps #Catholic ‘Grindr-gate’) ever hears of a bishop moving to slap a big red “A” on the back of a sexually active cleric.

4/The readiness of Olson to out her, to presume to have the moral authority to do, casts a filthy misogynist shadow on all of his subsequent actions. His jittery gestapo approach to ‘managing’ these nuns suggests that he knows he had better find enough evidence to justify his >

5/hysterical & transgressive “policing” of these women. #misogyny #CatholicChurch #CatholicChurch
