Remember: The Vatican ignores liberal US nuns "at their own peril!" [View all]

Well, uh, yeah. About that...

Vatican Ends Battle With U.S. Catholic Nuns’ Group

Ultimately, the report issued on Thursday said that the nuns’ group would take care in selecting the speakers and programs at its conferences, and have “competent theologians” review their publications. It did not specify who would select the theologians, and indeed, women’s religious orders are full of trained and competent theologians.

The report said the goal was “to promote a scholarly rigor that will ensure theological accuracy and help avoid statements that are ambiguous with regard to Church doctrine or could be read as contrary to it.”


Oh the peril! The RCC leadership has agreed to change... absolutely nothing. The nuns agreed... to get right back in line.

On edit: This Swiss media outlet chose the following headline: Activist U.S. nuns make concessions after Vatican investigation

PERIL!
