Nun’s ordination call is contrary to the faith

AFTER the failed attempt recently by Jennifer Sleeman to get the faithful to boycott Mass, Sr Louvenagh, a religious teacher, now gets front page headlines (October 2).

She tells us she is “concerned about falling mass attendances and falling vocations to the priesthood”. Is it any wonder we are afflicted with both when some of those who are charged with passing on the faith to children have such a poor understanding of the faith they profess.

People who are not taught correctly about mass will have no desire to attend. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out then that falling vocations result from poor catechesis.
