Mama (Mary) says, "Knock you out!"
The faithful nuns represented by CMSWR, the Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious, issued their own statement that opposed Obamacare. See below:
March 18, 2010 - In a March 15th statement, Cardinal Francis George, OMI, of Chicago, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, spoke on behalf of the United States Bishops in opposition to the Senate's version of the health care legislation under consideration because of its expansion of abortion funding and its lack of adequate provision for conscience protection. Recent statements from groups like Network, the Catholic Health Association and the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) directly oppose the Catholic Church's position on critical issues of health care reform.
The Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious, the second conference of Major Superiors of Women Religious in the United States, believes the Bishops' position is the authentic teaching of the Catholic Church.
Protection of life and freedom of conscience are central to morally responsible judgment. We join the bishops in seeking ethically sound legislation.
Mother Mary Quentin Sheridan, R.S.M.
President
On behalf of the Membership of the Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious
In my opinion, the liberal nuns have to be taken to task for misleading the faithful in such a crucial matter. Their bad example and infidelity should no longer be tolerated. These misguided souls need to retract their statements, repair the damage of their past offenses and sin no more. But since this is not the first time, I doubt if they will do that. So, we need to stop donating to their orders and causes and let them know why. If they won't stop, then they have no business being a nun; they should pack their bags and go home. We don't want their false teachings and scandals. We may picket their houses to show them what abortion is; they might think the fetus is just a glob of blood.
We can also contact the bishops where they operate with that same message and request him to expel them from his diocese. We can contact their superiors at Rome and even the Vatican office for nuns. Something needs to be done because, they will continue if they are not checked. See what damage that has done in the past and being now and will be done later.
Incredible and abhorrent.
