Sister Joan Chittister Explains The Universal Message At The Heart Of Every Religion (VIDEO)

From an early age, Sister Joan Chittister says she felt called to be a nun. Since then, she has become an outspoken religious scholar, a fierce advocate for social justice and women’s rights, the author of nearly 50 books and one of the most influential spiritual leaders today. Through it all, she has carefully studied the ins and outs of religion — and, as she tells Oprah on an episode of “Super Soul Sunday,” she’s come away with an important insight.

At their cores, Sister Joan says, different religions share the same beliefs and messages. However, the reason we have so many religions in the world is due to one major factor: humans.

“Super Soul Sunday” airs Sundays at 11 a.m. ET on OWN. You can also stream the program live at that time on Oprah.com/supersoulsunday or Facebook.com/supersoulsunday.
