Nun Cites Scandal of Apathy to Racial Injustice
DENVER — (NC) — When
nuns and priests are seen in the
front ranks of civil rights dem
onstrations, is it a cause of scan
dal to the Church?
“Definitely not,” asserts Sister
Mary Luke, first American wom
an to serve as an auditor at the
Second Vatican Council. The Sis
ter of Loretto mother general said
in an interview here if there is
f
“scandal” within the Church, it lies
with so-called Catholics “who re
main indifferent in the face of
glaring social injustices.”
Sister Mary Luke, chairman of
the Conference of Major Superi
ors of Women which ended its five
day meeting here (Aug. 27), was
asked to comment on criticism
charging that it is not “dignified,”
nor “cultured” for nuns and priests

She replied with questions of her
own: “What do these critics mean
by culture?” she asked. “To my
way of thinking, culture is man
kind’s best efforts to improve the
human condition. This is also a
prerequisite for all Catholics, re
ligious or laity, who wish to make
the Church relevant to the mod
ern world.”
She said that intergrity rather
than lack of dignity is shown by
nuns and priests who actively
support the civil rights movement.
