The Vatican has ordered a crackdown on a group of American nuns because of the sister’s radical views on homosexuality and feminism. The Vatican says the group is undermining Roman Catholic teaching and is promoting themes incompatible with the Catholic faith”.

The Leadership Conference of Women Religious is the largest organization of Catholic nuns in the US. An archbishop has been appointed to oversee its reform to ensure that it conforms to Catholic prayer and ritual. The order represents about 57,000 nuns and offers a wide range of services, from leadership training for women’s religious orders to advocacy on social justice issues.

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith said the nuns’ are also ignoring issues of “crucial importance” to the church, such as abortion and euthanasia.
