American nuns are gathering in St. Louis, Mo., this week for their organization's yearly national assembly, where they are expected to discuss the future of their relationship with the Vatican following scathing criticism of the nuns' alleged lack of fidelity to Catholic teachings.
This spring, after a three-year investigation, the Vatican's doctrinal watchdog issued a report questioning the organization's loyalty to some Church teachings, including the nuns' lack of outspokenness on issues such as gay marriage, abortion and contraception. Another concern voiced by the Vatican relates to conferences organized by the nuns featuring "a prevalence of certain radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith."

The sisters are not immune to
The sisters are not immune to the massive changes that are underfoot. Either they become part of the solution, or remain in the current and historical status of the catholic church as a disunifying factor to human spiritual and EVOLUTIONARY growth. Their faith in the REAL spirituality and christ (consciousness) should be opposed to the evil, dark force the vatican has over and over again proved itself to be. Feminism is humanism in the clarifying light of ther real God, not the cancerous growth in the vatican.
