Sisters in traditional orders may wear habits, but they often live in coed communities.

What planet is she on?

U. S. News and World Report, huh? Interesting. Some information is not correct, however.

**Put simply, the development is a return to tradition and orthodoxy, to past practices, observances, and customary ways of worshiping. But it is not simply a return to the past—at least not in all cases. Even while drawing on deep traditional resources, many participants are creating something new within the old forms. They are engaging in what Penn State sociologist of religion Roger Finke calls “innovative returns to tradition.” **

Oh, no, not another season of innovations! Hopefully this is not true for the Catholic Church! Prayers, Prayers, that it is not so!

Reese thinks the church should focus less on the Latin mass than on the three things that draw most churchgoers: "good preaching, good music, and a welcoming community."

Except he would not be welcoming to those who wanted orthodox preaching, Gregorian Chant and Sacred Polyphony music, and the ancient form of the Mass in Latin.
