Kate Kuenstler (1949-2019) was an American Roman Catholic sister and a canon lawyer. She mounted a legal defense on behalf of the canonical rights of lay people as laid out during Vatican II, and the result changed Vatican policy. Before she began bringing cases, Rome automatically affirmed U.S. bishops' rights to close and sell churches, even if they had vibrant congregations. After she intervened and argued on behalf of parishioners who had organized to save their churches, the Vatican agreed to order that many churches reopen. She is the subject of the 2024 book Bending Toward Justice: Sr. Kate Kuenstler and the Struggle for Parish Rights by Christine Schenk CSJ.
