The appeal: 'Sisters must be attentive to gender fluid'

"The question of gender is an issue that is particularly close to my heart," says the new president of the Union of Major Superiors of Italy, Sister Micaela Monetti, in an interview with the monthly magazine of L'Osservatore Romano 'Donne chiesa mondo', anticipated by Vatican News. "There is an increasingly fluid world. We must accept the invitation that the Pope makes to listen before judging and pigeonholing". "Generally it is in the period of juniorato, in the phase of perpetual vows that emerge what even for the formators are real surprises", continues Sister Monetti. "It is a field that is challenging us with strong and certainly disorienting questions. I do not have the answers but it is necessary to inhabit this reality and seek God's plan together. We cannot bypass this reality, we need proximity".
