BeWithMe

Excommunication and heresy are two different things. For a Catholic to oppose Church teaching on marriage, birth control or (and especially) abortion is heresy. For a nun to do this is a tragedy. And calling it a "gray area" is tantamount to everything that is wrong with the Church today.

To oppose Church doctrine as a Catholic is to commit heresy. Or were these nuns not Catholic?

I noticed you highlight a few nuns whose act of bravery or inspiration is gravely opposed to the Church. So I take it you're not Catholic anymore? If not, why nuns? If so, why celebrate heresy?
