An order of Roman Catholic nuns has sued the Boston Archdiocese
and Cardinal Sean O'Malley after years of failed efforts to
withdraw from a church-run pension fund.
The Daughters of St. Paul have asked the Supreme Judicial Court
to order pension plan trustees to provide them with a full
accounting of the nuns' portion of the fund, or to order the
archdiocese to reimburse the nuns' contributions.
A lawyer for nuns tells The Boston Globe the order went to court
as a last resort.
