Show a young woman something she can hang her habit on and she will respond. A simple charism to follow but too many orders wrap themselves around social justice issues exclusively and have lost sight of their founding focus on furthering the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ.

Good news. Maybe their schoolchildren will be the generation that leads us out of the mess we are in here. God bless their ministry.
