While meaning no harm to this woman, I am grateful that she and those of her "magisterium" are going the way of the dinosaur.

Here in Cincinnati, the theology seminary is finally rid of the "magisterium of nuns" that ruled the roost there for years.

It's time the high and mighty liberals and modernists in the RC get off their high and mighty thrones.
