More than a dozen people gathered outside the Hyatt Regency Atlanta hotel downtown Wednesday to protest a meeting of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The group was protesting the Vatican’s recent criticism of members of the Leadership Conference of Women’s Religious, which represents many of the nation’s nuns, for having “radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith.”
“I Stand with the Sisters” read a button worn by many of the protesters.
“I think the nuns do an incredible job of reflective discernment about what is God’s call for them,” said Natallie Keiser, who is Catholic and owns a consulting business. “The bishops need to respect them trying to help the poor and the marginalized and not control it.”
