(AP) The Vatican orthodoxy watchdog announced Wednesday a full-scale
overhaul of the largest umbrella group for nuns in the United States,
accusing the group of taking positions that undermine Roman Catholic
teaching on the priesthood and homosexuality while promoting "certain

An
American archbishop was appointed to oversee reform of the Leadership
Conference of Women Religious, which will include rewriting the group's
statutes, reviewing all its plans and programs — including approving
speakers — and ensuring the organization properly follows Catholic
prayer and ritual.
The Leadership Conference, based in Silver Spring, Md., represents about 57,000 religious sisters and offers programs ranging from leadership training for women's religious orders to advocacy on social justice issues. Representatives of the Leadership Conference did not respond to requests for comment. Read More
