I say welcome home to these women who have been discerning Catholicism due to the recent schisms within the Episcopal church with the ordination of gays to the clergy.

I especially appreciate the last lines of this article.
"*The sisters expressed deep affection for Pope Benedict XVI. The pope exercises an authority that Episcopal leaders do not, they said. The unity that Christ called for can be found in the Catholic Church under the leadership of the pope, they said.

“Unity is right in the midst of all this,” said Sister Catherine Grace Bowen. “That is the main thrust.”

The sisters noted with a laugh that their love for the pope is evident in the name they chose for their recently adopted cat, “Benedict XVII” – a feline friend they lovingly call “His Furyness.”👍*

A delightful article and the answer to many prayers I’m sure. Thank you for sharing it.
I hope & pray other disillusioned Anglicans will take note & ‘Come Home’.
 
Wonderful story. A loss for the Episcopal Church though. They look like a group of traditional nuns.
