1. Well done, Anne, and the religious of Australia.
   Faithfulness and truth don't seem to get a guernsy in the Roman arena today.

3. Silence in Prolife issues?
   Yes, we ought to pray that LCWR should make a humble and prayerful introspection on their original calling - to be men and women of poverty, chastity and obedience.
   The good that they do must be commended, but also they need to re-evaluate who they are: Religious Men and Women in the Church.
   The laity needs to shepherd according to the heart of Jesus, not social workers.

4. Rob: As far as I can tell, the people under scrutiny are the ones who appear to disdain the guernsey of the church.
   Instead, they seem content to create their own colours and cry foul when it's pointed out that it's wrong to take the field for the Catholic Crusaders.
   To continue the analogy, we don't see too many Hawthorn jumpers pouring out of the Bombers' dressing room before the first whistle, do we?
   What would be the crowd reaction if we did, I wonder?

5. Wonderful gesture to our Sisters in the United States.
   They are an incomparable group.
   I, too, am edified by their calm and measured response to this Vatican intrusion.
   May the Spirit of God take the blinders off the Roman group and breathe generously in our heroic religious women.

7. Congratulations to CRA for your support of the LCWR.
   Please forward a copy of your letter to the Congregation of the Faith and Doctrine at the Vatican to show that LCWR is not alone in wanting to discuss Faith and Doctrine which affects all concerned catholics worldwide.

10. I applaud and join the CRA in their public support of our American Religious sisters.
    I might remind Frank that many of us in the Church are social workers because we have been inspired by the heart of Jesus.
    Is it any coincidence that those in this forum who seem to find objection to this action happen to be men ?

    We will continue to pray for them.
