In response to a shrinking number of priests, the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh has appointed a Penn Hills nun to be its first "parish life collaborator," a person who will oversee parish obligations that do not have to be performed by a priest.

this is great news! it shows that some of the criticism against the Catholic Church (such as a limited leadership role for women) is based on limited information. It shows that the Catholic Church can borrow ideas from Protestants and Protestants can learn from the Catholic Church instead of continuing to reinforce the insultation between both groups.
