Bridget Mary's Response: The bottom line is some of our church's teachings such as the ban on ordination of women and the excommunication of Roman Catholic Women Priests must change in order to reflect the empowering justice and liberating witness of Jesus in the Gospels. The Loretto Sisters are living the social justice agenda of Jesus and are prophets. They should be commended, not investigated. When will the Vatican learn?

Sign this petition and let's - together - say no more investigations into U.S. Women Religious!

Why is this important?

Beginning in 2008, U.S. women religious in the U.S. came under heavy scrutiny by the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith (CDF).

In the spring of 2012, the CDF issued a statement accusing U.S. women religious of supporting "radical feminist themes" and "corporate dissent."

Now, the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life have summoned the Sisters of Loretto, a major order of U.S. Catholic Sisters, to Rome to account for "areas of concern" and accusing them of not doing enough to follow Church teachings.

The investigations must stop!

Catholics deeply value the prophetic witness of women religious and appreciate their commitment to social justice. We stand with the Loretto Sisters and all women religious who are serving our Church and world!
