The article is splitting hairs. The women are members of religious communties and take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. The are not nuns in a very restricted sence - as contemplatives living in cloistered convents. They are active not passive. They are following the command of
Christ to love their neighbors by aiding them like the good Samaritan in the gospel. The author of the article seems to be dismissing the validity of these nun’s work in the market place as if they were just laity. They are not. Their ctiticism of the Vatican is valid and necessary for the times. The are much needed prophets whose lives belie the Vatican’s politicizing.
