Loretto Leaderhip for 2007-2012 The Delegate Assembly and two-day election process was part of a five day gathering of Loretto members in Denver, Colorado, in July. The “Journey to Jubilee.” Focused on a vision statement leading to Loretto’s commemoration of its 200th anniversary in 2012.
Elected to leadership were:(left, front): Susan Swain SL, Executive Committee; Cathy Mueller SL, President; Vicki Schwartz SL, Executive Committee; (left, back) Kathy Wright SL, Executive Committee; Donna Day SL, Vice-President; Maria Visse SL, Executive Committee; Pearl McGivney SL, Executive Committee.
The Sisters of Loretto and Co-members comprise the Loretto Community. The Loretto Community exists to praise God and minister to people. We are people of faith and service bound together by our love of God and love of one another. We live in the desert Southwest, the hills of Kentucky, cities dotting the East and West coasts, and many places in between ... some live in Europe, Canada, and Africa. Our spirit and mission are grounded in the gospel.

"Archbishop Charles Chaput is not teaching his personal opinion," she said. "This is the church's teaching, and it is the responsibility of a Catholic to vote their conscience, but their rightly formed conscience, their educated conscience."
High time this was said.......
Who cares what a bunch of old, bitter women think?

Same meme on conscience as Andrew Sullivan was spouting on Hugh Hewitt. A Catholic has a duty to inform his conscience by the moral teachings of the Church.

You said it. Now let's pray they do it.

Beautiful story! What a pity these self-obsessed old bats are profaning the memory of the many sincere, devout and courageous sisters who went before them.

"We encourage respect for the moral adulthood of women and will choose legislators who will recognize the right of women to make reproductive decisions and receive medical treatment according to the rights of privacy and conscience." Cunningham said many Catholics disagree with the church's opposition to legalized abortion for "compassionate, faithful reasons."
So, the babies aren't people?

They apparently think "moral adulthood" means "we ourselves define good and evil." A remember that offer being made to Eve. Apparently still persuasive to some.

Where's the inquisition when you need it... or at least a physical excommunication as well as spiritual. I volunteer, anyone else?

According to this
recent article, NCAN, which was founded in 1969, has a membership of 1200, out of about about 68,000 religious sisters in the USA. In other words, in 38 years, this "national coalition" has failed to attract about 98.3%% of the nuns in this country.
Just to bring a ray of sunshine into your day...
