I didn't want to get into the furor on Fr. Z's blog, but I did want to tell you that you are correct. According to the new code of canon law, religious are not laity. (The 1917 code divided us into clergy and laity. The new code says those in consecrated life are neither clerical nor lay).
I did stay in that conversation too long. But thanks for the support. The photo is an Edwardian card. My mother is much more beautiful than that lady, and me, ah well...
