Those old Dominican sisters !

I knew many Dominican sisters. I did not really know them personally but they were prominent in their community. They had 'the old way' of interpreting Vatican Council II.Stereotype.Straight away they would say  "Vatican Council II says..." and for me it was "Vatican Council II does not say ....".Some of them were learned.They wrote books. They would pick up a false premise and write a book with it.They were good sisters. They grew up with Vatican Council II.Some were born after the Council.But now there is 'a new way' of looking at Vatican Council II and I don't think these Dominican Sisters can adapt.

The formation they had was based upon unknown cases of LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc, being known and visible.So they would see the Council- like Reuters and Associated Press- being a 'revolution' in the Catholic Church.A 'new way to be Church'.But this is really 'old way' of interpreting Vatican Council II.

Some of those Dominican sisters have retired and others will do so soon.

The future Dominican sisters, will have a new way to interpret Vatican Council II and it is really will be the old way of being Church.-Lionel Andrades
