The Pope has approved a report criticising the leadership of the largest group of American nuns.

The Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) is accused by the Vatican of “radical feminism” and of failing to obey church teaching on such matters as the possible ordination of women as priests.

They have accused the Vatican of a “flawed” process of investigation.

The report was ordered by Pope Francis’ predecessor, Benedict XVI.
