Though RadiantCross.org is a non-denominational Christian website, we are in fact Catholics

To most people, Catholics included, nun implies the traditional habited member of a Vatican sanctioned religious order who is 100% faithful in word and deed to the magisterium of the Church.

The point of the article was anti-Catholic Maddow and Dionne’s misleading usage of the term nun, which implied the Catholic Church’s support of the pending healthcare bill. The self-styled “nuns” in this case were progressive Catholic social workers who live basically secular lives and were speaking in defiance of the USCCB. Our bishops opposed the bill for its expansion of abortion in America, including loopholes which would enable the use of federal tax dollars to fund abortions.

As it turns that the bishops were right. Under Obamacare, “high risk insurance pools” in PA, MY, and NM are accessing $5 billion dollars in federal taxpayer funds to provide coverage for elective abortions. More states are sure to follow.

We have no personal quarrel with vocational sisters who, as we pointed out in the article, dedicate themselves to service of the poor and the sick and do reflect some of the highest values espoused by the Catholic Church. But they were completely unqualified to advise Catholics, or anyone else for that matter, on abortion or government legislation.

And frankly, it is hard to believe that intelligent, well informed women like Sister Carol Keehan, president of the Catholic Health Association and Sister Simone Campbell of Network could really believe that any healthcare bill promulgated by abortion zealots Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Kathleen Sebelius would not include a massive expansion of abortion.
