Thank you for airing this positive contribution to the Vatican wonderments. I am so impressed with the leadership of those with whom you discussed the issue. Thank you for providing this opportunity for your listeners to hear from top notch women religious. I applaud you!
Sister Mary Elizabeth Clark, SSJ

This was a delightful airing, and informative in many ways.  Hopefully, those who are critical of the religious ways had an opportunity to listen.
It dismays me when individuals speak of loyalty and obedience “to the Church.” We, the people, are the church in the world, baptized into the body of Christ. We all are called to holiness and service to God’s plan.  All of us respond to this call in different ways and the sisters are no different.  The sisters take a vow of obedience to God, to be a Christ image in the world with love and care.  They continue to do this in multiple ministries around the world.
Thankfully, some of these wonderful women have accepted me as a lay person as an Associate, and provided greater depth to my faith and spirituality.
