The Leadership Conference of Women Religious is calling for dialog on the Catholic doctrine with the Vatican.

This past spring, the Vatican scolded the organization -- which represents American nuns --saying the group was not promoting the churches teachings. 

Now the Vatican wants a team of bishops to control the group.  

WBFO & AM-970's Eileen Buckley talked to a local nun and Buffalo's new bishop about this divide.
