Joan Chittister, OSB

Click here to read an article about Sister Joan that appeared in the Australian media and didn’t mention that she had been disinvited to speak in at a national Catholic educators conference in September 2020 because Archbishop Peter Comensoli of Melbourne had not endorsed the invitation. Instead, the author, Andrew Hamilton, gives a synopsis of the 12 columns on humility that she recently wrote for the National Catholic Reporter and concludes: “In her reflections, as in her life, Joan Chittister demonstrates that she lives in the Catholic tradition, has studied it deeply, and goes out to others to invite them to draw on its resources.”
