Dolan on LCWR

Dolan on LCWR by MSW. MGB: The argument is made that the LCWR examination has as much to do with punishing some of them for speaking honestly on health care reform as anything else (although honesty on the possibility of women's ordination might also be a reason).  The Cardinal does not get a pass for countenancing this disruption in terms of the normal progression of reform - it is counter-revolution at best and it won't be successful.  There was a time when local ordinaries had the secular power to make Vatican protection essential.  Today, they have no such power so Sisters really could simply ignore them with little effect. Indeed, the answer is not making the Sisters behave, but defanging the bishops of any right to interfere with their good work.  A laity led investigation into the conduct of bishops is what is long overdue.
