It’s not. The bishop in the Torreciudad situation is the bishop of Barbastro.

I've said before that these nuns should be made the subject of an opera. Now I think it needs to be made into a whole opera cycle, à la the Ring Cycle.

I would love to see the Monty Python gang give the appropriate write-up to this saga.

Perhaps this is a modern example of the "two swords" metaphor for Church-State relations. Once you come out from under the shelter of mercy in the Church, you're at the mercy of the State.

Clearly the current Pope is the pope. It's a damn shame (I'm not being profane), but it is true. The rate of illegitimate actions taken in Rome have accelerated since Vatican II as people leave the faith in droves.

So,while these nuns might have one thing wrong, perhaps Rome should listen to them. I hear there are these things called "Synods."
