Not all Catholics are created equal, as Evangelicals, atheists and agnostics think. In the 2008 Presidential election, 54% of Catholics voted for Obama. THAT IS AN ABSURDITY. The general public only knows what it sees…rouge nuns that espouse socialism which equals a Liberal Agenda.
Let me disclaim, as I always do: As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I was once Catholic. I have a ‘working knowledge’ of the basics of Catholicism but I am smart enough to say that I don’t know everything. My mom’s side of the family is the Catholic side but not one of them were practicing Catholics but loved to say that they are so. Even that being so, it shows how unequipped some people are and love to throw their religion around like a Frisbee.
Even I knew what the role of nuns was – they are servants. They give up everything to pray, give and serve. Cloistered nuns stay out of society to serve while other nuns are out there serving with works like providing meals, nursing the sick and helping the poor. While I do not agree with Catholicism, I love that these nuns are willing to get their hands dirty. The general public thinks that all nuns are in black robes all the time – not true.
But I gotta ask…what is up with these rogue nuns assuming the role of political antagonist?
On their site it says, “The new law [March 2010 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act] promotes quality healthcare that is more accessible, affordable, universal and pro-life.” Help me out, my catholic friends, but how is Obamacare prolife? And not only that, but Obamacare squashes our right to religious freedom…so I have to ask…
Why is the Vatican putting up with rogue nuns that are going outside of basic Catholic teaching to so-called political social justice and universalism?
As I perused their site, Networklobby.org (self-described progressive national Catholic social justice lobby), I have to admit my ignorance in knowing that this group actually existed; come to find out, they’ve been around for 40 years (same amount of time as Roe…?). As I mentioned, I did not know that such a thing CAN ever exist within the Catholic realm even in the United States. However, they quietly promote abortion and homosexuality when lobbying with progressive Liberals, even though the nuns call it ‘peacemaking’.
These rogue nuns push for so-called social justice AND socialism, are shoving Catholics and others in front of the oncoming Obama freight train this November. I absolutely understand ministering to the least of these (Matthew 25:31-46), but these women are budding up to the White House which the gently promote.
Side note: I have to say that I was a bit spooked when they thought it was okay to build the mosque on Ground Zero. It’ll take me a minute to digest that one.
My dear Catholic friends, please don’t fall for this farce…it’s meant to ‘peacefully’ re-elect Obama and change your mind against basic Catholic teachings.
As a matter of fact the Vatican is investigating the ‘non-Catholic’ stance of the rogue nuns as we speak. See following link: http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/1201584.htm
Much of the Catholic nun problems began (as they did in every denomination in this country) with an assault from the likes of Saul Alinsky and his IAF and ACORN organizations in the Chicago area. They rallied the unassuming and the poorly catechized that they needed to be more active in social justice issues: all the while making a mockery of the Church’s true teachings on social justice. They have infiltrated and now the indoctrinated have taught the new sisters their form of apostasy. That is not to say that there are not still many good nuns who are faithful to the teachings of their Church. However, any like the ones you are pointing out are too many in my way of thinking.
There is a lot of work to do in order to turn this problem around. There are organizations of churches (mostly protestant) that are involved in the same thing. They usually use issues of women’s rights and the poor to push their real objectives of socialism etc. on the rest of us.
You are correct and thank you for commenting. I quite understand how these radicals are in every denomination. It’s an issue all by itself, but during election time, this is a grave. We cannot ‘divide and conquer’ and expect good results.
I couldn’t agree more. The average pew sitter in the church gets confused by the wrong teaching of rogue theologians, bishops, priests and religious. It is being addressed but as is always the case it takes a long time to turn a ship like the Catholic Church with over 1 billion members. By the way, I think you meant rogue in you post and not the color rouge. You may want to edit. Thanks.
oh goodness…spell check can’t get me out of that one!
@servusfidelis is spot on. Either in May or June the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith came out with a report addressing issues of dissent and made it known that these nuns must espouse the non-negotiable doctrinal beliefs. Here is the document – http://www.usccb.org/loader.cfm?csModule=security/getfile&pageid=55544. Here is the AP article on the Vatican’s announcement – http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hfzx_dy3X1_V8Xol97bOQbIxx6VQ?docId=dc006c6eeff84fe1a7abb7c0d959d689
Christians of various beliefs need to band together to fight against Marxism, relay the truth to the lay faithful. Unfortunately there are so many who are deceiving people today.
