Sisters of Life: Apostasy in the Guise of Pro-Life Ministry

[NC Register] reports on Mother Agnes Mary Donovan, former superior general of the Sisters of Life, a religious institute founded in 1991 by “Cardinal” John O’Connor in New York. The interview presents her personal narrative of leaving an Ivy League psychology professorship for religious life and describes the sisters’ pro-life ministry as answering “that very ache in the heart of man” by proclaiming human “infinite value” and “sacred origin.” This message, while superficially appealing, is a thoroughgoing denial of Catholic doctrine and a manifestation of the Modernist apostasy condemned by Pope Pius IX and St. Pius X. It replaces the supernatural economy of sin, redemption, and the necessity of the Church with a relativistic, psychological humanism that operates entirely within the conciliar sect’s paradigm of religious indifference.
