Pope Francis' prayer intention for the month of February is for religious sisters and consecrated women.<\/p>\n
In his videomessage, he strongly urges consecrated women, and those who work as catechists, theologians and spiritual guides, to stand up to abuses of authority.<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> But the challenges of consecrated life are not a new concern for the Pope. In December of 2021, he cited Salvatore Cernuzio's book, \u201cThe Veil of Silence,\u201d which sheds light on abuses of conscience and authority in religious communities.<\/p>\n SALVATORE CERNUZIO<\/strong> These situations can begin with deceivingly small abuses of authority, but if they're not addressed, they can destroy vocations to religious life.<\/p>\n CT<\/p>\n VM \/ AA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" February 1, 2022.

\n 'I invite them to fight when, in some cases, they are treated unfairly, even within the Church; when they serve so much that they are reduced to servitude\u2014at times, by men of the Church.'<\/em><\/p>\n

\n \u201cOne sister told me that she and other sisters had reached such a degree of submission that their superiors could order them around however they wished. This shows how when one's personality reaches a point of deconstruction, in constant subordination and humiliation, to the point where that person becomes nothing, and whoever has power over them can command them however they please.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
