Ecu - if you read the article a bit more carefully you will see that it is in ROME, not JERUSALEM - that is just the title.
Interesting that the word 'filth' was used about the monks which in the past has been used to refer to paedophile priests - and that the monks in question were simply relocated to other monasteries in Italy.... and this is the man who was supposed to be so hot about reform!

As far as the nun is concerned and her performances - ecclesiastical dancing is at least as old as the ~Exodus. Pewrhaps the RC should lighten up a bit on that front.

i thought i did skim the article... well nothing new about scandal in the roman monastries then....  some recent stuff about a famous rennaissance artist and  painting

no probs with a bit of prophetic or exstatic dancing as part of the curriculum from me!


GOD BLESS!

Peace and Love,
