The high-ranking church official responsible for the Vatican’s takeover of the group that represents the majority of U.S. Catholic sisters has warned that the sisters should not “take an attitude against Rome” or be “anti-Rome.”
“Setting oneself up against ‘Rome’ has never brought authentic reform or renewal to the church,” Archbishop Gerhard Müller said in an interview posted to the National Catholic Register website Thursday.
Müller is the head of the Vatican’s powerful Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which last April sharply criticized the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, the organization that represents about 80 percent of U.S. Catholic sisters.
