Oh, dear. Now the Vatican has launched a probe of American nuns. We're calling it "Law and Order: The Convent."
Rome, according to the New York Times, is "quietly conducting two sweeping investigations of American nuns, a development that has startled and dismayed nuns who fear they are the targets of a doctrinal inquisition."
Just when you thought Catholic bishops couldn't find another way to infuriate the flock, darn it, they've done it again.
