Today the Superiors of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith met
with the President and Executive Director of the Leadership Conference of Women
Religious (LCWR) in the United States of America. Most Rev. Peter J. Sartain,
Archbishop of Seattle and the Holy See’s Delegate for the doctrinal Assessment
of the LCWR, also participated in the meeting.
The meeting provided the opportunity for the Congregation and the LCWR
officers to discuss the issues and concerns raised by the doctrinal Assessment
in an atmosphere of openness and cordiality.
According to Canon Law, a Conference of Major Superiors such as the LCWR is
constituted by and remains under the supreme direction of the Holy See in order
to promote common efforts among the individual member Institutes and cooperation
with the Holy See and the local Conference of Bishops (Cf. Code of Canon Law,
cann. 708-709). The purpose of the doctrinal Assessment is to assist the LCWR in
this important mission by promoting a vision of ecclesial communion founded on
faith in Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Church as faithfully taught
through the ages under the guidance of the Magisterium.
