Sister Mary Hughes talked about relations between the Catholic Church and the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR). The Vatican in a recent report had criticized the LCWR for focusing too much on social justice issues at the expense of pushing the church’s stance against same-sex marriage and abortion.
