The group, founded in 1911, takes its name from the hill where its headquarters are outside Ossining, New York.
The official Maryknoll Twitter account gushed on September 24 about Thunberg’s “passionate, articulate and knowledgeable witness” and ranted about Christians allegedly getting upset “because of her [young] age.” The tweet stresses that these Christians “seem to overlook the age of the Virgin Mary at the time of the Annunciation.”
The enraptured Missioners conclude, “Young women can and have changed the world.” There is no indication in the Gospels about Our Lady’s age at the Annunciation.
