Now Sisters.....

Accusations of stolen cash and silver, forged business records and slander have been hurled between two groups of nuns.

The episode has resulted in a police investigation at the request of the Missionary Sisters of the Holy Ghost, who claim that two members of their convent left, but not before stealing the items and turning them over to a rival convent at Mount St. Michael.

The convents are affiliated with different breakaway sects of the modern Catholic Church. They are considered traditionalist Roman Catholics who believe in the papacy, but do not recognize Benedict XVI as the true pope. They only offer the traditional Latin Mass.

Marie de Montfort, the reverend mother of the Missionary Sisters affiliated with Our Lady of Guadalupe Roman Catholic Church, complained to Spokane Valley police that personal and personnel files, financial records, credit card numbers, her religious order's corporate seal, and other items were stolen from safes and a business office by the nuns who departed her convent.
She further alleges that leaders at Mount St. Michael have shared the files and used the contents to spread rumors and falsities against her religious order.

Her demands, however, have been met with denials by the nuns at Mount St. Michael, who wear full-length blue habits and may be best known as "The Singing Nuns."

Maybe they should just crank up the karaoke machine and have a "sing off".

Frankly I had to check the calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1 when I first read this.
