Reform of LCWR hardly a ‘nunquisition’
By Kevin J. Jones
Washington D.C., Sep 4, 2014 / 05:54 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- The Vatican’s investigation of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious is not a ‘nunquisition,’ as one Time magazine writer has said, but an effort to renew the Church, according to a senior fellow with The Catholic Association.
“Is there a great ‘Nunquisition’? No, there’s not,” Ashley McGuire told CNA Sept. 4.
“That’s a total exaggeration. It’s just part of a bigger process that the Church regularly has to undergo to look into its various organs to make sure everything is doctrinally sound.”
Author Jo Piazza, writing in an Aug. 31 essay for Time.com, contended that contemporary religious sisters are “dying and not being replaced” and that their work is not sufficiently appreciated by Church leaders.
