Women get the short end of the stick once again in the Catholic Church

To pay the millions of dollars for out-of-court settlements resulting from the actions of predatory priests, Catholic nuns are being evicted from their homes so that the Church can sell the buildings to raise the money needed.

Wow. Where do I even begin with how fucked up that is?

I know a lot of Catholics who are good decent people but I see this latest development as just one more reason to question the Church's relevancy. Maybe if the Pope gave up wearing Gucci and Prada, an old nun could stay in her home. These women did dedicate their lives to serving God after all...guess that doesn't matter if you're not a man.
