Vatican orders nun to resign as Michigan welfare director
Vatican officials told Sister Agnes Mary Mansour to resign from leading Michigan's Department of Social Services which funds abortions. The nun, 51, had ignored a February order from Detroit Archbishop Sulkowa and remains on leave from Mercy College as the congregation decides. The DSS spokeswoman said it was unclear whether the order had reached her. Meanwhile in Seattle the family of artificial heart recipient Barney Clark returned his body from Utah for funeral services. Clark had lived 112 days on the device before his death.
