Interesting description, Cornelius. This is but to say that a horror of sin is a function of sanctifying grace, which tragically, I imagine these ladies lost many years ago. We must pray for God to restore these ladies (and indifferent Catholics everywhere) to grace.

I've talked with 'Catholics' who think like these sisters about this issue, and what I've noted is their relative indifference to sin. They lack a horror of sin, even grave sin. This baffles me, as I've found no way to communicate to them what horror of sin is or feels like. It's like trying to explain color to a person blind from birth. The conversation stops at this point and we just stare at each other - nothing more to say.
