WASHINGTON — A new report on U.S. women religious said that religious life is becoming not only more multiethnic but more international as well.
The report, “Understanding U.S. Catholic Sisters Today,” said that of all women who entered religious life in the past 10 years, only 57 percent were white, while 17 percent were Hispanic, 16 percent were Asian, and 8 percent were black — including both African-American women and those born in Africa.
