The Vatican's congregation for religious life has summoned to Rome
the superior of one of the major orders of U.S. Catholic sisters, asking
her to "report on some areas of concern" following the controversial
six-year investigation of the country's communities of women religious.
The head of the Sisters of Loretto, a Kentucky-based community founded in the early 19th century to educate pioneer children but now known for strong stands on social justice issues, has been asked to explain alleged "ambiguity" in the order's adherence to church teaching and its way of living religious life.
