A Vatican fight with a liberal group representing most American nuns ended with a truce Thursday, with leaders of the group praising dialogue with the Holy See and saying that “what we hold in common is much greater than any of our differences.” Pope Benedict in 2012 ordered an investigation into the nuns for straying from the Vatican line with statements on homosexuality and feminism. After the announcement, the sisters of the Leadership Council of Women Religious met with Pope Francis for 50 minutes, a meeting that seemed to emphasize his—and their own—focus on social justice.
