(a parish in the Diocese of Superior) on Feb. 19.<\/p>\n<p>On the surface, it looks fine. But these nuns are notoriously left-wing, believing, among other things, that legalized abortion is &#8220;crucial,&#8221; though they are supposedly &#8220;troubled&#8221; by abortion itself.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Sister Jane has been quoted as saying, &#8220;Catholicism is oppressive. I&#8217;ve become less shackled since I&#8217;ve discovered the gift of the Goddess. I&#8217;m much closer to earth and animals. My God was too small, microscopic. I feel I&#8217;ve gotten reeducated about spirituality.&#8221; She also said, &#8220;Get rid of the Roman collar, clericalism, the pope. Jesus would be the first one to say so.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yes, lest I forget, I should mention the good sisters are very much against war. Imagine that!<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t believe me?
