I think we should strive to avoid oversimplifying this issue.
If you read the official comments coming out of the Vatican, they are always quick to affirm the great work that religious sisters have done for the Church. It’s always necessary to recognize that.
That said, all the good work they have done does not mean the LCWR is above criticism. People are not upset with them for feeding the poor and desiring health care. They are upset over the undermining of Church teaching.
I keep praying that the current process will result in a revitalization of the LCWR and all religious. We can feed the poor, work for health care and impart the teachings of the Church in a dynamic, faithful, and convincing way.
