I believe it essential for America to explain in greater detail the mishap re the translation of sentences concerning the role of woman in the Church. It has diminished the initial power of an extraordinary interview. But, congratulations from a dedicated reader.

The facade of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary at Lourdes in April 2023, when the artwork of Marko Rupnik, a priest and former Jesuit now under investigation for sexual abuse, was still on view. Lourdes officials announced on March 31 that the sanctuary will cover the mosaics on the door of the basilica. (OSV News photo/courtesy Greg Erlandson)
