Nuns are JUST people. You have those that absolutely
adore animals, like Sister Francis here in Havre de Grace that feeds
all the stray animals in town, out of her own pocket...not easy for
someone who has taken a vow of poverty, and Sister Freda who had her
own cocker spaniel that went with her EVERYWHERE (she told God she'd
ONLY answer His calling to her to serve IF she could always have her
animals with her.) And you have those who don't like kids, and joined
the church to escape society's view that they should be mothers, only
to have the church put them in charge of children & schools.
That's when you get the atilla-the-nuns,..the yard-stick striking,
rosary whipping, screaming banshee women. Not to mention the fact that
they are part of an institution that only recognizes the worth of ONE
woman-Mary, the mother of Christ. Its not an easy life...NOT that that
is an excuse.
One of my favorite people was Sister Dorthy...a real
attilla-the-nun (without the hitting :-)) a small, tank, of a woman,
all of 5'2"...with the wrath of God in her little finger, even the
priest were afraid of her!....but she was also so understanding,
compasionate...an absolute tool of the All Mighty....and my life is
better for having known her.
As for THESE Bronx nuns...SOMEONE at that convent has been
feeding these ferals for eight years....most likely this mother
superior is new and if forcing her will on the others. Imagine how
horrifing that must be for the one or two nuns who also care about
these cats.
Pray for them. They need it as much as the cats.
NO! You're not alone. What horrid
wretched creatures these nuns must be. I always thought the movies and
TV shows that showed the nuns as the wicked mean women who hit the kids
and treated them like dirt in the orphanages and catholic schools was
over-dramatized, but now I know it's the truth! Well, you know what
they say about karma....

Big hugs to Pets Alive for
offering to take these kitties. And these nuns have not decided
whether to allow the volunteers to save the kitties? Boy, they really
have a mean streak! If they want the cats out of there they should be
overjoyed at the offer. I'm not the only one angry about this, am I.
