Leo XIV Tells Aging Religious Sisters to Become “Experts in Synodality”

Today, Leo XIV sent a prerecorded video message to the 70th-anniversary assembly of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) in Orlando.

LCWR is the largest association of leaders of Catholic women religious in the United States. Its members are generally the superiors of congregations of sisters.

The video was shown to an overwhelmingly elderly gathering, with scarcely a religious habit or young face in sight.

Religious to Become “Experts in Synodality”

Leo XIV said that all Christians are called to be “formed in a synodal Church”. He continued: “In a special way, those in religious life are called to become experts in synodality due to the opportunities afforded by community life to practice it.”

Then, he praised the assembly's planned “synodal method of listening, discussion and discernment,” expressing the hope that through such “fraternal and receptive dialogue” the sisters would be able to “discern what the Holy Spirit is saying” about “the present and future of consecrated life.”

KI verfälschte den Kommentar. Es wurde Nonnen geschrieben und nicht Nunn.

Die Synodalität scheint zu scheitern, da müssen jetzt die Nonnen herhalten um die Totgeburt zu retten.

THIS is Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR)....? They look like a old women's retirement community. Not a single religious habit in sight. No wonder everyone there is over 70 ... no new vocations; God won't call young women to that. Tragic, the Church is dying....

I agree. However the Church will never cease to exist as long there is a remnant of traditional Catholics. They own the exterior shell but not the interior.

@tbswv Agree the Church will never die, but all its visible institutions are dying: religious communities, the seminaries, parishes, Catholic schools, etc. The heavily populated diocese I am in wants to reduce the number of parishes by 60%...!

Of course he did. It's the new religion. Notice the short hair on the "sisters."

No need to convince them - these 'ladies' were vanguards of "talking the church to death"

Nuns without habits: they're sure to quickly join the synodal heresy

The video was misdelivered! It should have been sent to a Protestant conference.

These unfaithful brides of Christ have been divorced from Our Lord for many years now.

Another attempt to destroy the Catholic Faith and Church - pray for Our Lady to crush the demon of synodality!
