Quote:U.S. Nuns On The Decline As Fewer And Fewer Women Take Up Religious Orders
Quote:The CARA researchers track the widely noted rise and fall in the number of nuns, noting that membership in women’s religious orders grew rapidly in the first half of the 20th century, reaching a high point of 181,421 sisters in 1966. Since then, the numbers have steadily declined, to below 50,000 today, a 72.5 percent drop-off.

Quote:In a separate interview published Tuesday, Burke told the conservative U.S. outlet Catholic World Report that the bishops “cannot accept” any changes because they are not based in Scripture or church teaching.
Monday’s mid-point report was released Monday as the the nearly 200 bishops and lay delegates to the Synod on the Family called by Pope Francis broke into discussion groups.

Quote:during his time as bishop of La Crosse, Wisconsin, in the early 2000s, Burke kept hidden the names of priests known to have been sexually abusive, denied requests to set up a victims' fund and allowed several priests to remain clerics in good standing long after allegations of their sexual misconduct had been proven.
