JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): Now, a new report from the Vatican criticizes the largest group of Catholic nuns in the United States.
The assessment of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious comes from the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. It says the group of sisters promoted -- quote -- "radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith." It concluded that the sisters had contradicted church teaching on homosexuality and on male-only priesthood in public statements that -- quote -- "disagree with or challenge the bishops, who are the church's authentic teachers of faith and morals."
To discuss this assessment, we're joined by Donna Bethell. She is now the chairman of the board of directors for Christendom College in Front Royal, Virginia. And Jeannine Hill Fletcher, she teaches theology at Fordham University in New York.
