People are asking me…

…about the recent announcement from the Vatican concerning the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR). For my part, I continue to read, but I thought I would at least share some the commentary that is out there on the net.
  • from my local ordinary, Bishop Robert Lynch of St Petersburg – the first episcopal blogger – For His Friends
  • from John Allen, undoubtedly the most experienced of Vatican reporters in the English language: Notes on the LCWR Overhaul. He makes the point that this Vatican action is not the same apostolic visit to women’s religious congregations which occurred last year.
  • E.J. Dionne, Jr, of the Washington Post, Are Catholic sisters being bullied.
  • There are a host of other web sites, blogs, etc – but many seem to be reacting rather than offer well honed analysis – I will leave those to you to search out.
  • …and of course, you should read the original document itself
