All people have that right. How can you not have you own opinion & still be human?

I say yes, of course. A nun would still be an individual.

They have the right to their own opinions, but no right to substitute their opinion for Church doctrine.

Within the United States and its constitutions jurisdiction they have that right. Can't say about other countries though.

You got that right. A male dominated religion. I have nothing against the religion itself, but the way it treats women is not good at all in my opinion.

If you come to a cross roads and no longer can follow the code that you have sworn allegiance to, then part ways. But to have an opinion is one of the most basic of human attributes. Afterall everyone has one pretty much about everything. So I guess yes. But I did take the long way to get there

The Sisters have more of a right to their opinions than I do.

In THIS country they do, at the moment. I'm afraid if the conservatives take over they may still be able to express their opinion, but few male "leaders" will listen. Women will return to being subordinate citizens and will be required to (again) follow male law. Just look at the continuous flow of laws reducing women's rights and equality....and Nuns were women, last I knew.

I wanted to hear the Pope's answer to this question so I emailed him at the Vatican.I'll keep you posted.

I bet the reply will be "No, the nuns have no opinion, just ours, namely we men".

...and so do priests...since they're not allowed to marry.

ALofRI to rand 2012/07/05 17:08:21

It does make you wonder. I mean no disrespect to the Catholic Religion, it just seems that if there have been so many young boys molested, and there are all these Nuns, many very attractive, that you hear little, if any, "incidents" involving them. It just seems strange that all....sexually inclined...priests, would prefer little boys to an attractive Nun. I am considering the fact that it is a, not so "sick" as "weak" few, but if I was a Priest, a young boy would NOT be as "tempting" as a Nun. No disrespect meant Sister, just talking from a male point of view. Please understand.

It's easier to molest a child than a grown person. Reality has dictated these sad events. ...and I was just trying to be humorous... 'cause I'm married.

I suppose it depends what you're asking. Of course they have a legal right to their opinion and the exppression thereof. But whether the church will support that opinion, or their right to it, is a different discussion.
