US Catholic is devoting almost their entire current issue on the Vatican's apostolic visitation of women's religious communities, including an extensive survey, and an article entitled "The Sisters of Mercy Are Not McDonalds." And be sure to check out our piece by Francine Cardman in our issue this week on how the different interpretations of Vatican II have influenced, and indeed gave rise to, the visitation.
US Catholic on the Visitation
The latest from america
A Reflection for Tuesday of the Fourth Week in Ordinary Time, by J.D. Long García
A timeline of the Vatican’s decade-long history of leadership in the field of A.I. ethics—a history that has earned it significant influence among tech leaders, particularly at Microsoft and IBM
Most humanitarian agencies operate just ahead of insolvency in the best of times, Nate Radomski, the executive director of American Jesuits International, says.

It is wonderful that the Sisters have the courage to speak the truth to the hierarchy.
Would that the ordained had some of that courage.
As for those who dissent from whether or not matter this is valid and important, I would offer this... the history of our Roman Catholic church is based on many long standingand ongoing discussions and disagreements at times. Theology after all is "faith seeking understanding." May we never stop. May we, many members, re-member the Body of Christ. It is my humble opinion that this is done through active engagement and not withdrawl. Perhaps I am wrong.
Peace to all and happy new year.
I find that US Catholic has some really great and thought provoking work. It is not the same as my subscription to my beloved America and to Commonweal, both of which I strain to subscribe to. However, I can't give US Catholic up either. They provide something that compliments all this other outstanding Catholic journalism.
