The Archdiocese of St. Louis issued the following statement regarding Sr. Louise Lears, S.C., on June 26, 2008:

ad_news.jpgAfter a canonical process of several months, Archbishop Raymond Burke has, today, decided the case of Sister Louise Lears, S.C., a member of the "pastoral team" at Saint Cronan Parish, who was accused of four delicts, all connected with her encouragement of, promotion of, and participation in the attempted ordination of two women to the Sacred Priesthood at a local synagogue in November of last year. Delicts, which must be published in the Church, are grave and external violations against the Catholic faith or moral teaching.
