"Vatican Must Hear 'Anger and Hurt' of Modernist Nuns," says Archbishop Joseph TobinVatican
Archbishop Joseph Tobin says that the Vatican needs to adopt a "strategy of reconciliation" with American nuns, and acknowledge the "depth of anger and hurt" caused by Vatican suspicions.
Although the apostolic visitation of American women's religious orders is still in progress, the American archbishop says that he "would be very surprised if anyone would purport to give any punitive or overly prescriptive norms as a result of this visitation."
Some guidance may be given, but no major changes will be required, he indicates. Archbishop Tobin says: "But forcing people into habits or something like that? That's not what this is about."
