Vatican Investigations

1. The Legionaries of Christ investigations begin on Wednesday this week. A priest has broken away from the order, it appears, and is speaking more frankly than any one from that movement has until now. Fr. Berg has become a priest in the archdiocese of New York. [I wonder what Fr. Jonathon Morris is doing since he coincidentally moved to NYC in recent months. Ah, he's been temporarily assigned to Old St. Patrick's in NYC. [PDF] Did he get incardinated to the NYC archdiocese as well? At least he's anchored to a parish. That will be of infinite help I imagine.]
2. American women religious are still stunned that they require any attention from the Vatican. They want to be independent operators. The comments of the nuns themselves provide the evidence that the visitations are so necessary.
