While female religious have grown to possess a sense of personal
authority in issues impacting the laity, and have come to engage in
social-issue-oriented activities, religious institutions have
traditionally viewed men as the decision-makers. One Faith, Two
Authorities examines the tensions of policy and authority within
the gendered nature of the Catholic Church. Jeanine Kraybilllooks
at the influence of Catholic elites-specifically within the U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Leadership Conference of
Women Religious-and their opinions on public policy and relevant
gender dynamics with regard to healthcare, homosexuality,
immigration, and other issues. She considers the female religious'
inclusive positions as well as their opposition to ACA for bills
that would be rooted in institutional positions on procreation,
contraception, or abortion. Kraybill also systematically examines
the claims of the 2012 Doctrinal Assessment against the Leadership
Conference of Women Religious. One Faith, Two Authorities
considerswhether the sisters and the male clergy are in fact in
disagreement about social justice and healthcare issues and/or if
women religious have influence.
