SISTERLY SCHISM

 Occasionally the Catholic Church and its members have disagreements on theology, history and the Catechism. When these are significant they can result in schism.

Recently two religious commenters on blog posts in this community, have been at loggerheads. Sister Mary Fruitloop who we first met in a post about stigmata:

SISTER MARY FRUITLOOP

And Saint Faustina who Robert first disinterred here:

SAINT FAUSTINA

And who I referred to here:

SAINT FAUSTINA 

These two have popped up a lot in comments and posts:

Saint Faustina tells us to pray in this way...

"Father I offer to you the body, and blood and soul and divinity of your son Jesus, for our sins and for the sins of the whole world." This makes sense to me.  - Robert the sinner.

Sister Mary Fruitloop - sorry - Saint Faustina was just plain nuts (and would have made both Jung's and Freud's day trying to psychoanalyse her). - The Curmudgeon.

Jesus told St Faustina that He delights in giving himself to us in the Blessed Communion.

       - Robert the sinner. 

"Jesus told St Faustina that He delights in giving himself to us in the Blessed Communion." There's a rude joke in there.

       - The Curmudgeon. 

There are many more but you get the gist.

I thought it time to get Sister Mary Fruitloop and Sister Maria Faustina of the Blessed Sacrament (I told you she was nuts) aka Saint Faustina together to debate some of their differences of opinion.

THE RELIGIOUS CURMUDGEON: Welcome Sister Mary Fruitloop and Sister Maria Faustina of the Blessed Sacrament aka Saint Faustina let's take this opportunity to discuss ..... look, for simplicity's sake - not Saint Simplicty ha ha, that was a little joke there .... can we drop some of the titles and just call you Fruitloop and Faustina?

FAUSTINA: I don't appreciate that humour The Religious Curmudgeon, or should we just call you Curmudgeon (hee hee). I take my canonisation very seriously and to be entitled Saint Faustina sort of, well, gives me entitlement I ....

FRUITLOOP: Who made you a Saint then?

FAUSTINA: In 1965, with the approval of the Holy Office, Karol Wojtyla, then Archbishop of Krakow and later Pope John Paul II, opened the initial informative process into my life and virtues, interviewed witnesses and, in 1967, submitted a number of documents about me to the Vatican and requested the start of the official process of my beatification. That was begun in 1968 and concluded with my beatification on 18 April 1993. I was canonised on 30 April 2000, and my feast day is 5 October.

FRUITLOOP: Weee-ew! Get you. La de da. I guess being polish helped eh? I didn't see old Papa John Paul handing out the gongs to us Germans. I ...

CURMUDGEON: Sorry but I need to remind you Fruitloop to keep this civil ...

FRUITLOOP: Well where was she when they were handing out the sharpened knitting needles? Just saying.

FAUSTINA: Look Fruitloop, one doesn't have to flagellate oneself and stick bloody great pins into one's body to demonstrate a connection to Jesus and his love...

FRUITLOOP: Ha! No, in your case you just have erotic fantasies and tell these to those salivating priests who get a kick out of hearing what you say about hot flesh and blood and sweat and blood and hot sweat and eating and submission and ....ohhhh.. give me my needles! 

FAUSTINA: Here we go again. You just can't help yourself you silly old ..

CURMUDGEON: Sadly I think we'll have to wrap this up. Fruitloop..... please stop doing that and Faustina ...... well good luck with your saintly status but I fear that when the Russians overrun the Ukraine and Poland again they just might change all that.
