This is a sad testimony to the Vatican's treatment of women religious leaders. They have no time to dialogue with you, but plenty of time to conduct investigations. Something is wrong with this picture!
But, the good news is the thousands of nuns are living their prophetic vocation serving God's people on the margins.
The church is in crisis. Parishes are being closed and merged. The people are hungry for sacramental ministry in the context of a vibrant community in which they are empowered as equals to share their gifts.
The Catholic Community needs you, the leaders of women relgious worldwide, to support your sisters who are called to priestly ministry in inclusive, justice-seeking, Gospel-centered communities. Roman Catholic Womenpriests are ordaining qualified women who support an inclusive priestly ministry. We will have no problem clearing our schedules to meet with you. Sounds like a vocation call to me, a match made in heaven! Are you ready? If so, contact us:

"The Holy Father today, (Monday, May 10), according to the Vatican Press Office, received in separate audiences: two prelates from the Episcopal Conference of Belgium, Bishop Lucas Van Looy of Ghent, and Msgr. Koen Vanhoutte, the diocesan administrator of Bruges. He also received Italian Bishop Valentino Di Cerbo of Alife-Caiazzo, accompanied by members of his family.
Nothing unusual – except for a mention of who he did not receive in audience.
Who the Holy Father did not receive in audience was any (or all) of the 800 general superiors of international women religious orders who are in Rome from all corners of the globe for a once in three-year general assembly. These women religious represent close to 1 million women religious worldwide.
The women have been meeting here in Rome since last Friday. "
