text: There is ample reason to believe that was true of both the Doctrinal Assessment of the LCRW and its member congregations, and with the equally assaultive Apostolic Visitation.  I would add that a major reason for the more positive resolution of both actions was because of the arrival of Pope Francis, and the new Prefect at the Congregation for Religious.  None of it would have resulted in this atmosphere of respect and dignity under Benedict XVI, as he was the one who unleashed his dogs on our religious women in the first place.  All of the reasons mentioned (the Pope, US laity, the Sisters themselves, and key Vatican personnel) so far went to see the resolution that was only hoped and prayed for just a few short years ago, with no good end in sight.  The Holy Spirit works wonders when the right people are gathered in Christ's name.
