Assembly calls women religious to be bold in determining direction

Catholic News Service reported on the assembly of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious earlier this month. Dominican Sister Laurie Brink gave the keynote address.
Women religious are angry, she said, "not about the Eucharist itself -- but about the ecclesial deafness that refuses to hear the call of the Spirit summoning not only celibate males, but married men and women to serve at the table of the Lord."

How's that been working out?
That has helped put religious women's orders "on the verge of extinction," she said, because in removing themselves from church circles they "failed to recognize when we were no longer needed as a work force that perhaps the Spirit had a new call for us. ..."

Something other than nursing grievances.

    Well, let's analyze this.

    religious women's orders "on the verge of extinction," she said, because in removing themselves from church circles they "failed to recognize when we were no longer needed as a work force that perhaps the Spirit had a new call for us

    And the person who said this is a "Leader."

    So where's the Leadership taking the orders?
