These are NOT my kind of nuns




The Franciscan Sisters of Mary stand ready to go where God invites to serve God's people in need ... Their works are varied expressions of compassion and healing. Among their works are pastoral care providers, massage therapists, health professionals and authors, artists and social workers ... Similarly, they provide home care, foster care, hair care and adult day care ...

From their listing with the St. Louis Archdiocese: Franciscan Sisters of Mary

Hmmm ... I'm sure many of the sisters do good work - but, give up a shot at a husband and children so as to provide hair care? Also, I always thought "I got a massage" was a frequently used cover-up for "I recieved sexual favors." Ick.

And besides, I find the above photograph really disturbing. What exactly is the sister praying to? She's probably just meditating. Still, creepy ...



Update: My sister says to say that Archbishop Burke is a good bishop and is trying to take care of these "problem" folks but that he has his hands full, and we all should pray for him etc. etc. Laaaaaa.
