GSR Today - It was a pleasure to be with the women religious superiors at the USIG headquarters. Women religious get it. The women religious superiors who gather and work in Rome, heading their orders “get it” in droves, as much or more than any others in the church.
Includes video commentary from superiors who were at the Feb. 2 presentation.

  • Read more about Conditions of religious freedom

Three Stats and a Map - It’s been nearly a month since two masked gunmen killed 12 people and injured 11 in the Paris office of Charlie Hebdo, a French satirical paper. Because Charlie Hebdo is known for its cartoons poking fun at Islam (among other things), the attack immediately sparked an international discussion about civil rights, namely free speech and freedom of religion.

  • Read more about Mercy sister: We can make things better with the spirit of Catholic social teaching

Mercy Sr. Mary Schmuck works in parish social ministry, which focuses on her archdiocese's charitable outreach, faithful citizenship, and global solidarity. "So many people do not seem to know our precious treasure of Catholic social teaching, and some disagree with parts when they learn of it. We seem to have bought into a thesis that morality is only a personal or interpersonal matter; business knows best for all the rest."

Leaving on a jet plane - Global Sisters Report met Sr. Marie-Claire Ihorere of Rwanda when she was in “limbo” in Nairobi, waiting for a visa to Brazil.

  • Read more about Getting married, a spending racket

GSR Today - I love weddings, so naturally, I thought that planning my own wedding would be epically wonderful. The people who complain about wedding planning being stressful, I thought, just don’t love weddings the way I do – they don’t love hosting as much as I do, and they don’t genuinely care about details the way I do. I was so naïve back then.

  • Read more about Beyond habits and no habits: A reflection on the identity of religious women in the U.S.

Can we really say that sisters have lost their sign in the world just because they do not wear habits? And if so, is there also a sign of not wearing habits, of their invisibility? What, then, is the sign of this invisible but strong presence of women religious?
