I provide catholicworldreport.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=132ost-christian-sisters&catid=36:cwr2009&Itemid=68 as furuther reading on this matter, and to substantiate my words that there are things horribly wrong with many American women religious, centred in the LCWR.

I, for one, think that the Vatican has every right to visit or investigate its’ religious communities if it so chooses. I really hope that it helps to re-enliven religious life, and I think it will.

For anyone who is interested, the Apostolic Visitation has a website apostolicvisitation.org/en/index.html There you can find the document about the process for the visitation, called Instrumentum Laboris, as well as other news and information. They also have a facebook group for those who wish to offer their prayerful support for this endeavour.

The results, of the recent CARA/NRVC study can also be seen on the web. There seem to have been a number of comments regarding the number of vocations in conservative and liberal congregations, if you want to use those terms. You can see them here, nrvc.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=394&Itemid=75
