On April 18 the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
issued an Assessment of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious.
This Assessment followed three years of
reflection with LCWR. The Assessment expresses, in general, three concerns:
LCWR assemblies and conferences, policies of corporate dissent, and radical
feminism. It names five areas for review, and appoints a three-man committee of
bishops, chaired by Archbishop Sartain, to “oversee” and “reform” its
operation.
