ROME – Rome must acknowledge the “depth of anger and hurt” provoked by a visitation of American nuns, the Vatican’s number two official for religious life has said, saying it illustrates the need for a “strategy of reconciliation” with women religious.

Archbishop Joseph Tobin, Secretary of the Vatican’s Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, said that he does not expect any “punitive” fallout from the visitation, and that before any decisions are made, women’s communities should have a chance to know the results and to respond.

Dead end link. I think I found it here.

On the one hand, I can understand how some nuns would feel that the visitation is a sort of unfair witch hunt. On the other hand, I’ve experienced nuns who actually endorsed Wicca and goddess worship, so apparently some to many orders are NOT doing a very good job correcting and/or expelling the witches (literally!) on their own.
