CNA: Amid continued controversy over the Catholic identity of U.S. women religious, a dissenting Catholic newspaper has been awarded a multi-million dollar grant to cover religious sisters locally and globally.
Brad Myers, a senior program officer for the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation’s Catholic Sisters Initiative, confirmed to CNA on Aug. 22 that the foundation board last week approved a three-year, $2.3 million grant to the Kansas City, Missouri-based National Catholic Reporter.
He said the grant is designed to create “what we’re calling a global sisters’ net.” More on this here.
