In what appears to be the first public message of support sent from orders of men religious to U.S. sisters in the face of a sharp Vatican rebuke last April, seven provinces of Franciscan brothers and priests have published an open letter to the sisters, saying the Vatican’s move against them seems “excessive.” The letter, dated May 31, was first made public Thursday morning by Jesuit Fr. James Martin over at America magazine.
