The lust for power?

From CNS...
U.S. nuns' group says Cardinal Ratzinger should resign

DENVER (CNS) -- German Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger should resign as head of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and be replaced by a "feminist woman," said an organization representing 500 U.S. women religious. The National Coalition of American Nuns added that the Vatican should grant greater decision-making power to women, including participation in the election of popes. The positions were taken in a resolution passed by the coalition's board of directors at its Aug. 18-21 meeting in Denver. The coalition is known by its initials, NCAN. It was founded in 1969 and specializes in human rights and social justice issues. In another resolution the board said the church should allow same-sex marriages. The resolution also opposed federal or state laws that would prohibit gay or lesbian unions.
What orders are included in this group? 500 religious "sisters"? We can only wonder what religion they embrace - it certainly is not Catholicism.

These references should suffice to demonstrate that this group is opposed to the Church.
