AnneLine Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) I don't have enough hours in my life to watch silly stuff.... so I ain't watchin'. I dunno. This whole LWCR thing just makes me sad. Rather than hooting at them, it just makes me want to pray for them all the harder. All of them. Because God can and does do miracles, and that includes turning around hearts. All these women entered religious life to serve God.... and I know and believe that God can transform even the keynote speaker... whether or not she is a religious (I don't think she is.). We need to pray for them. ALL of them. INTENSELY. Now and especially during their conference. Edited August 9, 2012 by AnneLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 From Father Z: In the first open session, the featured speaker, futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard, was l[b]ed through the assembly hall[/b] at the Millennium Hotel by [b]several sisters who were waving orange scarves draped over their arms[/b]. [b][color=#ff0000][?!?][/color][/b] Once on the stage, the s[b]isters moved in a circle around Hubbard as they raised and lowered the scarves and the assembly was asked to extend their hands in blessing while singing, “Spirit of vision, Spirit of life! Spirit of courage, be with her now! Wisdom and Truth be on her lips![/b]†[b][color=#ff0000]["Eye of newt, and toe of frog,[/color][/b] [b][color=#ff0000]Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,[/color][/b] [b][color=#ff0000]Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,[/color][/b] [b][color=#ff0000]Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing,--[/color][/b] [b][color=#ff0000]For a charm of powerful trouble,[/color][/b] [b][color=#ff0000]Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."][/color][/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I essentially heard, "We're not needing to reform like the Vatican says, THEY NEED TO REFORM!" [quote] “Almost all structures are top down,†Hubbard continued, giving the examples of nations, states, organized religions and corporations. “So what is needed today,†she continued, “is a radical reform of existing institutions from their top-down version.†[/quote] Also a lot of new age stuff that tapped on early 20th century philosophy that's become hip suddenly in popular culture about our collective consciousness as a species ala the noosphere. Which some even take to the point, at times, though Hubbard didn't, that humanity is going to transcend mortality as we link our collective consciousness and achieve apotheosis...Godhood. I truly hope that Sister Hubbard is going with the old school definition (which is still a bit out there) and not the new agey "let's achieve Godhood" one.

Socrates Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Standard-issue New Age mumbo-jumbo the essence of cow. Yes, it is a shame that these liberal orders for decades now have been following non-Christian new-agey "spirituality," at the expense (and often outright rejection) of solid orthodox Catholic teaching. There's no reason to promote this nonsense because you can find parallels here and there with Christian belief. We should pray for the souls of all involved, but before everyone freaks, we should put this in perspective; It's an octogenarian new age guru-ess babbling to a bunch of octogenarian liberal nuns. The orders that are growing and thriving, rather than dying out, are orthodox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilisa Marie Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Just like to point out to all the lurkers who don't go over to Vocation Station that most of the orders in the LCWR are plenty orthodox; it's the leadership of this organization that needs serious reform. I don't want people to get the impression that we're saying that all the LCWR orders are terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franciscanheart Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 [quote name='FuturePriest387' timestamp='1344468402' post='2464717'] I've seen Hasan, USAirways and Winchester edited by moderators many a time, but I must say, this is the first time I have ever seen a self edit by a moderator. [/quote] That's because we have the option of editing posts without leaving an "edited" tag on it. It's pretty safe to bet that a handful of the moderators / admins self-edit about 60+% of the time.
