She’s a globalist connected with LCWR.
“A new LCWR resource is now available on the LCWR website. The resource, An Invitation to Systems Thinking: An Opportunity to Act for Systemic Change, was developed by the LCWR Global Concerns Committee as a tool for using a systems approach to decision-making about issues both internal and external to the congregation, e.g., governance, mergers, formation, retirement, as well as justice issues.
The publication reflects the developments in the understanding of critical thinking and the complex nature of contemporary reality. As noted in one of the publication’s articles by Gertrude Foley, SC, “... systems thinking will prevent us from unconsciously employing the same mental models that are causing the problems that we want to solve.”

Systems analysis of culture is another code for universal religion and government. Culture change.
Her remarks are obtuse and designed to hide her beliefs which may be antithetical to Catholicism.
“As I consider the meaning of this award, I realize that the LCWR call to step into the chaos of the unknown- an unprecedented challenge today in this very conflicted world reality-, and NETWORK’s call to leadership in the global movement for justice are so very intertwined as to be inseparable. We are you in the Halls of Congress. Our missions in these times are more profound than any I and my companions ever knew. It isn’t the future structures of our individual congregations or even the future unfolding of religious life that is at stake. Rather, it is the realization that humankind has been cast into a deeper chaos, a chaos that is global, more enveloping, than at any other historical moment. And we know that as a prophetic entity, we can’t create boundaries to defend and preserve ourselves. Neither, it seems, is there a moment when we can stop to create the new.
We must fully immerse ourselves in this dark night, knowing that these dark times are the conditions for rebirth. Rudolph Bahro states that “When the forms of an old culture are dying, the new culture is created by a few people who are not afraid to be insecure.” And there is absolutely no reason for our insecurity or any reason for a lack of hope. As Vaclev Havel says: “Hope is a dimension of the soul, an orientation of the spirit and of the heart. It transcends the world that is immediately experienced and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons.”

“Properly understood, the Gospel is a RADICAL SOCIAL MOVEMENT! Jesus fought
the prevailing attitudes of His time. He tried to teach another way of thinking and being
and acting. His whole mission was about transformation in order to bring fullness of life.
He came, not to die for us, as we were so well drilled,592 but to give life and to continue
to give life through us….” page 102
Forget the Salvic nature of Christ!!! He’s a revolutionary, get it!! Viva Che!
GAG.
Thanks for the additional info.

Feminist led group of religious sisters. They promote dissent against Vatican decrees regarding other dissenters such as Sr. Jeannine Gramick. They whine about the "patriarchy" in the Church, embrace creation spirituality, and demand "gender-equality," such as women priests (as evidenced by then-head Sr. Theresa Kane chiding the Pope during his 1979 visit to the USA). In addition, they spend time in politics lobbying Congress and promote United Nations secular initiatives such as the Earth Charter (consistent with eco-feminism) and International Criminal Court (along with the NETWORK organization). |
