LCWR: Simply a group of 'leftist' nuns?
Is LCWR properly described simply as a “leftist group of US nuns”? Is this the impression we are to be left with after decades of its work? Is this what LCWR means to the church and wider US society?
What has caused this simplistic impression?
NJ Star-Ledger editorial: 'Archbishop Myers must go'
NCR Today: "It is beyond infuriating," the editorial states. "... He should resign immediately and apologize to the families whose children he left exposed."

Francis: 'Go out without fear, be open to the Spirit'
Pope Francis, in a homily today, once again called upon Catholics to go out and spread the Word of God. He encouraged believers to have a confidence that comes from trusting in the Holy Spirit.
Donate to NCR's Proven Track Record
It may be true that the National Catholic Reporter would have to be invented if it did not exist, but please don't take that wild gamble.
We have a gem so let's not risk the consequences of placing this matchless resource under financial restrictions.
Journalistic enterprise, imagination and courage is in short supply, particularly with regard to reporting on religion.
So I hope you'll pitch in during this last stretch of the fund drive. It's a vote for a better future.
Webathon 2013: The Last Day. Your Last Chance.
We need everyone’s help to meet our goal today. A matching grant this morning will help.
Small communities offer a path to 'renewing the priestly heart'
While a conference geared toward issues of priest leadership can tend to be male-dominated, a few women also made appearances in Reno.
One was Dominican Sr. Terry Rickard, executive director and president of RENEW International, who addressed priests Wednesday morning as part of the 45th annual conference of the National Federation of Priests’ Councils.
Her talk centered on small communities and their role in nurturing renewal and the new evangelization.
Webathon Day 6: gratitude and challenge
If you match this $5,000 challenge grant, we'll be closer to our goal than ever. Donate now.
