This July, a letter and brochure was mailed from New Ways Ministry to religious communities of women around the country. The letter, signed by the notorious Sr. Jeannine Gramick, SL, was an invitation to an upcoming conference, and said, in part:
“Dear Sister…In order to network lesbian sisters with congregational leaders and formation/vocation ministers, New Ways Ministry is sponsoring the tenth conference for these groups, Nov. 16-18, 2018, at Siena Retreat Center in Racine Wisconsin.
The conference will assist vocation, formation, and leadership Sisters in understanding the unique contributions of lesbian members to religious community and to the Church. Mary Ann Zollman, BVM, one of the speakers at the last conference, stated that these conferences have ‘often resulted in a much more whole and healthy relationship between religious communities and their lesbian members.’”
The networking conference is titled “Gracious Embodiment: Embracing a Capricious Sexuality” with the subhead “A dialogue among lesbian sisters, congregational leaders, and vocation & formation ministers.”
Speakers include Cristina L.H. Traina, Professor and Chair of Religious Studies at Northwestern University. The professor’s topics will include “The Challenge: Sexuality in Two Paradigms. How did our Church arrive at its current place of confusion?” Her bio on the conference flyer says “Cristina is a life-long Catholic and member of St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Church in Evanston, IL, where she is active in the Gay and Lesbian Ministry.”
The conference will also include ‘a retreat on Friday morning and afternoon for lesbian sisters to gather and network among themselves,” and a screening of the film “The Danish Girl” about an early 20th century Danish man who thought he was a woman.
New Ways Ministry, the organization sponsoring the retreat, seeks to undermine Catholic teaching on life and the family. It has received funding from organizations such as the Arcus Foundation, which aims to mobilize “moderate and progressive faith leaders” and to leverage “strategic opportunities in historically resistant faith communities,” including Roman Catholic churches, to limit religious freedom and to foster dissent on abortion and LGBT issues.
Racine, Wisconsin is in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. To contact the Archbishop:

When you stop believing in Jesus, you will believe in anything. Gayism has got to be the most pernicious idolatry ever embraced by human beings. it truly is idolatry, for they don’t worship God.
These lesbian and lesbian friendly women need to be removed from public life. They cause scandal and confusion by their defense of mortally sinful behavior. Honor all things homosexual is not a Church teaching.
Ahhh, the “unique contributions of lesbian members to religious community and to the Church.” Sounds familiar, doesn’t it. Just like the 2015 Synod where something about the “gifts” of homosexuality was introduced. Of course, an invitation to hear these daughters of Satan went to all religious communities.
Vile and evil, there is nothing that a lesbian can “contribute” to religious communities except mortal sin. Imagine that today, July 25th, in Fairfield, PA, the truly unique and blessed Carmelites of Jesus, Mary & Joseph will have an opening Mass at the site of their new monastery. Pay attention to these sisters.
What a disgrace. That nun should be kicked out. Why does she get to flout Catholic faith and stay a nun?
The devil sure planned things well by having the gays and their agents and their propaganda come to the fore at the same time the bishops have been made impotent by scandals and corruption. Even more, the devil corrupted and caused scandal in the bishops by means of homosexuality, which makes it impossible for the Church to act against gay propaganda in society because people will call them hypocrites if theey do.
Satanic masterpiece!
SHAME ON THE CHURCH for not silencing this unholy “nun” and excommunicating her, decades ago!!
The Archbishop of Milwaukee will do nothing. The diocese is still run by Weakland’s people.
“Margaret”: Your words are vitally important. The evil clergy and their laity just will not leave; power is everything to them (just like the Clinton and Obama Democrats).
To Catholic People in Milwaukee, move to Madison. At least you have a bishop there who is trying to re-establish basic Catholic practices. Pray for Bishop Morlino and support him.
AMEN!
And Weakland’s name still adorns the archdiocesan center. If statues of slave owning founding fathers can be removed as offensive, why does Milwaukee still tolerate anything associated with Weakland?
Outstanding question “Kowalski”. Probably time to sack the bishop and all the holdover laity that continue to such parishioner money out of needed Church uses. Just think of who these people imitate, “bishop” Weakland, a notorious homosexual who, by all accounts, stole Church funds to pay his homosexual lover.
And he is largely unrepentant to this day, based on recent reports (if you have confessed these sins, B. Weakland, I am unaware but pleased). Disgusting disrespect to all of the Milwaukee Diocese.
Because no one cares.
Our religious leaders are not bothered by homosexual molestation scandals. They are not the ones who are being molested, so why should they care? If they did care, they would have removed the homosexuals a long time ago. A majority of the scandals lead back to them.
This may well be true. The tragic outcome of the loss of institutional faith is that Satan and friends have made serious inroads into control of the institutional Church. Homosexuality, fornication, abortion, all these sexual crimes are Satan’s coin of the realm.
We need to take back the institution of the Church, or simply stay faithful, and direct our time, talent and treasure to True Worship. Many, many Traditional orders have started or grown that have kept the flame alive. Support them and ignore the institutional Church (some exceptions).
well…I’m going to have “none” of that
This is the Catholic Church today? Seriously?
Why don’t you all just swap out the Crucifix for the Methodist cross and have done with it!
How easily we forget that ALL CREATION was made in the IMAGE of GOD,
Can the human body have a mix-up of X and Y chromosomes when born?
If so, stop calling it “sin” and “Love your neighbor as yourself” whatever gender, race, or religion.
Love of God is inclusive not exclusive.
