Sister Simone Campbell: Pope Benedict XVI’s reprimand was a blessing in disguise for American nuns

Current TV’s John Fugelsang and Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of the Catholic social justice lobby NETWORK, review the highs and lows of Pope Benedict XVI’s eight-year tenure. Campbell addresses the Vatican’s criticism of a group of American nuns for promoting “radical feminist themes” and not sufficiently speaking out against abortion and gay marriage.

“From my perspective, as a person of faith, the Holy Spirit is alive and well because it was that very reprimand that then exploded our mission into the media [and] allowed people to know about our work in a whole new way,” she says.
