Is the Apostolic Visitation connected to the Doctrinal Assessment of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious?
The Apostolic Visitation is independent of the doctrinal assessment of LCWR. The Apostolic Visitation was initiated by the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. It is concerned with individual congregations. The LCWR study is an initiative of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and is being carried out by that dicastery.
