In your other Labor Day On the Square , Sandra Laguerta takes the LCWR to task for their “confused ecclesiology” and “unsettling misunderstanding” of Catholic teaching:

There is noting unsatisfying about the council documents’ description of the laity, religious, and clergy, especially when the documents indeed reiterated the importance of a lay participation in the Church. Yet Sister Florence insists that there are “inconsistencies” in the Church’s explication on the role of women, especially women religious, and such inconsistencies are what ultimately drive Sister Florence and the LCWR in their search for “equality” in the Church.
