As are many other Catholics, Maureen Dowd
is disgusted by Vatican’s reprimand of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, the main association of American Catholic nuns, for not carrying enough water for its reactionary political agenda.
It has become a habit for the church to go after women. A Worcester, Mass., bishop successfully fought to get a commencement speech invitation taken away from Vicki Kennedy, widow of Teddy Kennedy, because of her positions on some social issues. And an Indiana woman named Emily Herx has filed a lawsuit saying she was fired from her job teaching in a Catholic school and denounced as a “grave, immoral sinner” by the parish pastor after she used fertility treatments to try to get pregnant with her husband.
