Bullying the Nuns by Garry Wills | NYRblog | The New York Review of Books

Garry Wills was inspired by the Adrian Dominican nuns who taught him in elementary school
I was inspired by Sr. Mary Martin DePorres in elementary school CDC classes .  Named after a black saint, I wonder what became of her. - GWC
Bullying the Nuns by Garry Wills | NYRblog | The New York Review of Books:
by Garry Wills
 "The Vatican has issued a harsh statement claiming that American nuns do not follow their bishops’ thinking. That statement is profoundly true. Thank God, they don’t. Nuns have always had a different set of priorities from that of bishops. The bishops are interested in power. The nuns are interested in the powerless. Nuns have preserved Gospel values while bishops have been perverting them. The priests drive their own new cars, while nuns ride the bus (always in pairs). The priests specialize in arrogance, the nuns in humility."
