A group of nuns from the Baltimore area determined they could no longer accept the liberalism found in today's Episcopal Church, so 10 of them have joined the Roman Catholic Church. "As we interpret Scripture, it does not give you license to be actively involved in a same-sex relationship," said Mother Christina Christie, who became a nun in 1966. "It is not the person we have a problem with. It is what that person is doing. And now that the Episcopal Church has given permission to bless these partnerships, it is way off the boat."The Catholic Church teaches that homosexuality is "intrinsically disordered." It celebrates marriages only between men and women. Also joining the church was the Rev. Warren Tanghe, the sisters' chaplain.
