How can you turn away from this headline? Breitbart.com: Italian archbishop closes convent after nuns come to blows. Best headline of the year so far.
Sisters Annamaria and Gianbattista, reportedly upset about their mother superior’s authoritarian ways, scratched her in the face and threw her to the ground at Santa Clara convent near Bari in an incident in July that was kept quiet until now. Archbishop Giovanni Battista Pichierri tried to reconcile the nuns but finally decided in late August that they had “clearly lost their religious vocation” and asked the Vatican for permission to close the convent.
I love these women and must meet them immediately. Why close the place down? Doesn’t the Archbishop know that Jesus needs warriors on his side? Yes, I’m waiting for lightning to strike me as I type.
Warriors are people who get into petty brawls in your book, eh? Why do you hate the troops?
My guess is they got riled up by participating in some blog debates, and the outrage just spilled over.
