The nuns in my grandmother's Catholic school were nasty and hit the kids with rulers when they got answers wrong to questions. (Yes, it was a different time.) The sample size is too small to make a judgment call about the entire demographic. I suspect that they are just like everybody else, except for, in general, being more sexually frustrated.

Yes. Thats what a Catholic guy back in college told me about nuns in Catholic school. Worse than mafia thugs in strong arming you.

Quote:

Pielmeier was inspired to write the play after seeing an article in a newspaper about an event that occurred in a convent in Brighton, New York, just outside the city limits of Rochester.[10] Sister Maureen Murphy, a thirty-six-year-old Montessori teacher, was found bleeding in her room by the other sisters of the convent after she did not come down for meals. Sister Maureen denied she had given birth; when examined by medical staff, she said she could not remember being pregnant. She had covered up the pregnancy by wearing the traditional nun's habit. The baby was found dead in her small convent room in a waste basket, asphyxiated.[11]

The police found ticket stubs and other information in the nun's room indicating that precisely nine months earlier she had traveled out of state to an educational conference.[failed verification] During the trial, the father of the baby was never named.[12][13][14]

Probably the results of sexual repression manifesting itself. Like incels who go on killing sprees.

I wonder if they'll come up with an excuse. Can't be worse than the excuse a woman in the civil war used which involved a bullet travelling through a man's nut sack and into her womb.

Anyway. Stories like this give a smile to my face. I love it when acts of rebellion like this happen in an otherwise stifling peer group. Hopefully they were brazen about it to make everyone uncomfortable.

I noticed this too. People who are waist deep into religion are often the most judgment people you could ever meet. If you want to be respected, you're better off hanging around with a load of drug addicts or felons than religious loons.

I had the misfortune of hanging around with some religious people in the past. They were the most two faced, back stabbing snitching bullies you could ever meet. It got to the point where I used to go out of my way to offend them.

^^ I’ve never seen so many unpleasant people in one spot as at my former church. (Of course, I never attended a Trump rally.) I remember thinking: “Y’all are making leaving real easy. I don’t even care if you shun me at this point.”

Topics that were deemed worthy of gossip:

- The “immodest” length of that new sister’s skirt (two inches above the knee)

- The family whose kids were allowed to read Harry Potter

- The young couple who watched TV shows with gay characters

- The “spiritually weak” family who had been missing a lot of church services

- The family who was not disciplining (i.e. spanking) their kids

And that was just the gossip about insiders

What would they say about the pregnant nuns? Would they blame the nuns, the big bad world, or Catholicism itself?

If they had consensual sex, they’d probably blame the nuns.

...His priests got a share of the virgins, too. What use could priests make of virgins? The private history of the Roman Catholic confessional can answer that question for you. The confessional's chief amusement has been seduction -- in all the ages of the Church. Père Hyacinth testifies that of a hundred priests confessed by him, ninety-nine had used the confessional effectively for the seduction of married women and young girls. One priest confessed that of nine hundred girls and women whom he had served as father and confessor in his time, none had escaped his lecherous embrace but the elderly and the homely. The official list of questions which the priest is required to ask will overmasteringly excite any woman who is not a paralytic...

People like that are no longer normal people but rather a source of entertainment and nothing more. They're the type of people who I'll agree to pick up from a church in the rain purely with the intention of never picking them up and leaving them soaking wet.

I gossip about them in work.

Clearly these nuns didn't think much of their fellow religious Bible bashers. Who can blame them.

The sad thing is many of those people are brainwashed and have CPTSD. They're playing the game to avoid persecution or in some cases physical attack and retribution. Young parents with children are especially afraid to leave, and often lack the resources to do so. I don't think it's always fair to consider these people "not normal", or just a source of entertainment. They may very well be victims of psychological, spiritual, and / or sexual abuse who have a very limited support circle if any at all.

I understand being against the elders and those who perpetrate such nonsense, but as TP told us herself, she used to follow the hyperbole and play the part, because she was scared and she'd been threatened with being shunned. I don't think TP is abnormal or that she only has entertainment value for us. She's a brilliant, well-read, and very talented woman who learned to extricate herself from the clutch of what was, essentially, a cult. Catholicism is no different for some people. I know Catholics who've sustained horrendous PTSD from ongoing shaming and terror from the day they were born. It's not easy to escape this garbage without intractable trauma, so I applaud those who do.

"God did it" was already taken. :lol:

The local church just put up a big statue of Jesus dying on a cross. They also have a "Stages of the Cross" display, showing how Jesus was tortured.

Such a morbid religion. I much prefer statues of Buddha sitting and thinking.

Why is this topic funny to some folks? These women are probably experiencing a lot of upheaval and turmoil since they’ll have to leave their homes and vocation.

Thank you!

It’s pretty chilling to realize the stuff that decent people can do because of religious indoctrination. Even elders are a victim of their environment. I’ve chosen not to waste any sympathy on those who’ve wronged me or others, though. I’ve wasted too much time and energy on that already. At some point, people need to rise above their circumstances, I think, although perhaps not everyone is capable of that.
