Really? A priest is listed as vocations director and I don't see any nuns listed here. http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/vocations/Pages/contact.aspx
For years now a liberal nun has been the vocational director of Los Angeles and has been accused of disqualifying any candidate for the priesthood if they state they are against female ordination on the questionnaire.
I can't vouch for the woman vocations director thing, but it sounds very plausible.
15 years ago I knew a young seminarian who was expelled from St. John's seminary in Camarillo (near Oxnard CA -- still LA Archdiocese), and he told me how expulsions were going on there. You won't find this on their website, and if you go to St. John's and ask about it, they'll deny it ever happened.
He said that there were exactly THREE REASONS that seminarians get expelled at St. John's, and those are as follows:
1) They are discovered praying the Rosary;
2) They are observed studying Latin;
3) They are found to be involved in studying the Traditional Latin Mass.
He told me he knew another student who was studying the Latin Mass IN HIS CLOSET so as not to be observed, and someone found out about it anyway, so he was expelled for an unrelated reason.
He said that when any one of these things happened, they would be expelled but the reason officially recorded on the paperwork will have nothing to do with these 3 reasons. It will say something like he was tardy or absent too often, or he was disrespectful of authority, or he wore improper clothing, or he stayed up too late at night or he broke some of the rules of the seminary for whatever it was.
And don't let me forget, they actually put down that a seminarian was being expelled because he was not "pastorally sensitive to ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs."
For you can become a seminarian to this day there, if you are ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ, or if you don't have any problem being around fαɢs, queers, and cross-dressers. But if you have any PROBLEM with it, you will NOT be admitted, on the grounds that you are not "pastorally sensitive." And they are willing to ADMIT this one, unlike the other 3, above.
Pastoral sensitivity is a game changer at St. John's Seminary in Camarillo. You could almost say
it's tantamount to what holiness or virtue or "being in the world but not of the world" used to be.So this new wrinkle of being opposed to women's ordination is just a drop in the bucket-come-lately.
The larger issue is as I described above. The approval of women's ordination is no more consequential or horrific than the Great Principle of pastoral sensitivity, because women's ordination is a pastoral sensitivity issue! Fag priests and women priests is the same topic, basically.
