CWN Editor's Note: Sister Theresa Kane, a former president of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), died on August 22 at the age of 87. Sister Kane was noted for welcoming Pope John Paul II to Washington, DC, in 1979 with a blunt call for the ordination of women.
“Theresa’s ministry was about truth-speaking,” said Sister Susan Sanders of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, the community to which Sister Kane belonged.
