An excellent article. Thanks for linking to it, Father.
The order of religious sisters which Fr Groeschel refers to was the IHM Sisters. There is a very good interview with Dr Coulson who, with Carl Rogers, was responsible for the infiltration of the philosophy of self-affirmation into the order - leading to it's swift destruction.
