Catholic women religious leaders have been warned against an “entitlement creep” that numbs them from confronting poverty and environmental destruction.
St Joseph Sister, Sr Carol Zinn, issued the warning at the triennial assembly of the International Union of Superiors General in Rome
The US sister said religious life has widely been a “first-world lifestyle” marked by opportunities for higher education and job and housing security.
While Sr Zinn said such education is important, she said it also “numbs our minds and blinds our heart”.
