Bishop Leonard Blair of Toledo is a stickler for doctrine. He’s one of three bishops named by the Vatican to take over running the umbrella group of U.S. nuns and sisters called the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, is tired of bishops being blamed for beating up on saintly sisters.

He’s got good cause, says Blair, who issued a column and YouTube video blasting the LCWR again this weekend. It is Blair’s research that prompted a stinging report of the LCWR as dissenters who fail to live holy lives and promote true doctrine.

Blair says he can “only marvel” at the misrepesentations of the bishops’ intentions.
