American Nuns Contest Vatican's Accusations
The Rome
According to Sister Campbell, the questions raised against those who announce the Gospel through their own life are incorrect Speaking to the BBC, Sister Simone Campbell, head of en/homepage/news/detail/articolo/suore-nuns-monja-stati-uniti-united-states-estados-unidos-8087/"Network", a Catholic association which promotes social justice, responded to the indications given by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in relation to the tough doctrinal evaluation which dealt a strong blow to the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, the association representing the majority of Catholic women religious in the United States. The document issued by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith speaks of the "dissent" shown by American nuns, whom it accuses of ignoring or questioning the Catholic Church teachings on abortion, homosexuality and priesthood. As a result, they face being "monitored" for five years by the Bishop of Seattle. "I've no idea what they're talking about," Sister Campbell told the BBC. Her response was focused on the fact that nuns simply act as witnesses to the Gospel and nothing more: "Our role is to live the gospel with those who live on the margins of society. That's all we do."
