WTF! Two women behind con in OH dressed as nuns.

[mobeau69]

I’m calling bullshit. They are imposters.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

1. Nuns for Trump...Don't tell Sister Simone that.

Probably two losers wanting Trump to give them some attention.

[Boogiemack]

2. Holloween costumes.

[snowybirdie]

3. Correct

Sitting behind eachother, wearing no recognizable order's habit and no masks! PAID!

[mobeau69]

9. Very few orders wear the traditional habit today. One

was holding her rosary. 6 years of Catholic el Ed here with only one lay teacher. They were imposters and piss poor ones to boot!

[regnaD kciN]

13. They may be in costume, however...

...they might be part of some ultra-traditionalist order, of the type that still prays in Latin and regards the current Pontiff, if not the entire Vatican, as "liberal heretics." (Obviously, their ties to the RCC as a whole are somewhat tenuous.) There used to be some of them in western Washington, and their behavior struck me as rather cult-like (one of the loonier aspects of one of those orders is that the Mother Superior ordered them to have a special prayer service at midnight, because that was the hour in which prayer was most needed as it was "the hour in which all the babies are being conceived" ).

4. Was it this one?

[mobeau69]

11. Nuns don't carry around bibles. The Church barely condones

having one at home.

[regnaD kciN]

15. Oh, bullshit...

Could we stop with the insane fundie propaganda from the early 20th century? That line is straight out of the "Moody Bible Handbook," the favorite commentary for religious righties.

[mobeau69]

17. That's a good thing that they don't encourage bible thumping.

[obamanut2012]

30. Yeah, what you said is BS

Raging atheist now, devouted Catholic back in the day, and all my family still are RC. Like the poster above me says, this is bigoted Fundie Anti-Catholic propo, the exact stuff I was bullied with at school by little shits when I was a kid.

I am giving you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't know. Now you do. So apologize.

[mobeau69]

32. BS. Fundies try to use it as a negative but it is a positive aspect about the Catholic Church.

[tblue37]

6. Three.

[Tribetime]

7. Nothing nuns like more than a good old hate rally

[mobeau69]

14. Yep, historically, they just love Klan events.

[Cha]

27. I know, right.. someone had a Stupid Stunt

[Drunken Irishman]

8. Plenty of awful, reactionary nuns exist, unfortunately.

[Totally Tunsie]

10. Hope they don't make a habit out of it!

[regnaD kciN]

16. I'm more amused at the number of "MAGA" face masks...

After all, didn't Dear Leader tell them COVID was nothing to worry about? It's almost as if they don't trust him...

[mobeau69]

19. They got a vendor lined up for magat masks now.

[zackymilly]

24. The masks are so their friends & neighbors won't know they're there. n/t

[5X]

18. The one behind looks like tiffany trump. n/t

[Hekate]

20. My late Mom's cousin used to risk prison by breaking into nuclear bomb facilities. Now *that's*...

...being faithful to your vows!

These ladies may be imposters or they may just be confused about what Trump really is, but there are any number of nuns in America who have a much clearer idea of what Jesus had in mind.

[58Sunliner]

21. They might be part of this group.

Same crosses and the one on the end looks like one of them. They are RTL's.

[GeorgeGist]

23. Went to their website ...

they are sadly deluded by gibberish.

PS I'm pretty sure that's them at the rally.

[Retrograde]

28. They cite Athanasius Schneider

an ultra-right bishop from eastern Europe, currently a bishop in Kazakhstan. He's technically Roman Catholic, but acts like nothing has happened in the world after Vatican II - and he doesn't seem too happy about that either. He wants to go back to the earlier, repressive Church where everyone looked up to the local priest as the most important person in their village, bishops were literally princes, and women knew and kept to their place. I was raised in a pre-Vatican II environment, and this seems extreme even by those standards. They probably think Amy "Covid" Barrett isn't reactionary enough.

It's a very non-intellectual version of Catholicism, one that emphasizes blind obedience to authorities. No wonder they're at a Trump rally.

[Raine]

25. They sure look real, I think they are. nt

[mobeau69]

29. Thanks, Sunliner.

[JHB]

31. The three on the right may be the same ones at the rally

Mostly judging by eyebrows.

[musette_sf]

22. Most orders are wearing masks at this time

because they care about others. But I actually think this crew is real and that they are from one of those creepy nut orders where they still wear the medieval habit, because LOOKING "holy" is more important than actually emulating the Christ. The older one is fully professed, and the young one is a postulant, in postulant garb. Says a lot about their order that they aren't wearing masks. Oh well, they're now (especially the older fully professed one) being granted the possibility of the chance to meet their Bridegroom a bit sooner than may be expected...

[UTUSN]

26. Are they these? (at the 3:40 mark)
