EPA 2012-08-08 19:21:57 US Catholic Nuns meet to consider response to Vatican control
Sister Mary Rose Crowley, SND, from Windsor, Connecticut, makes the Sign of the Cross at the end of a morning Mass on the opening day of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, the largest group of Catholic nuns in the United States, in St. Louis, Missouri, USA 08 August 2012. A Vatican investigation claims serious doctrinal problems exist within the group for questioning church views on male-only priesthood, homosexuality and support of 'radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith.' The group is reportedly considering options ranging from whether to accept the Vatican's guidance to breaking from Vatican control by forming an independent organization. EPA/LARRY COYNE
