At least 392 nuns participated in the left’s effort to recall Wisconsin governor Scott Walker. These Catholic gals are supposed to be pro-life and embrace traditional moral values. As a group, they seem intent on replacing the pro-life Walker with a pro-abort/pro-gay marriage secular humanist. I guess the “social justice” sisters support lefty Democrats because they have confused nanny state socialism with charity. Leftist claptrap psychobabble (think radical feminism/”gay equality”/moral relativism ETC) likely also holds a lot of appeal to them. Someone please explain to them that socialism A) doesn’t work B) involves forcible theft of the fruit of citizens’ labor B) requires surrendering liberty to secular statist central planners and C) can only be enforced by a tyranny.Read the entire list at Entitlement Mentality Monitor
Several recaller nuns acted as signature gatherers. Some acted as witnesses to their own signatures or signed twice, which is like voting twice. Many are so old that you have to wonder if they were taken advantage of by younger nuns. I bet the old ones also get a lot of “help” filling out absentee ballots.
There are many in the group with important sounding titles. For example,
Sister Linda Mershon is the President of the order Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration (FSPA). [La Crosse .... this is nothing new]
Sister Celine Goessl not only signed the petition, but acted as a signature gatherer. She is listed as Provincial Superior for the Holy Cross Sisters (USA Province) and as President of the Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross Corporation. [Merrill, WI]
Sister Carol Thresher is Provincial Superior of the Sisters of the Divine Savior (USA Province). [Wauwatosa, WI]
Sister Regina Pacis Meservey is a member of the Board of Trustees for Alverno College. [Milwaukee]
Sister Joanne Schatzlein is a Trustee of Cardinal Stritch University. [Milwaukee]
Sister Sara Jean Donegan sits on the Corporate Board of Mount Mary College. [Milwaukee]
And no less than four nun recallers sit on the Board of Trustees for Viterbo University: [La Crosse]
Sister Marie DesJarlais, Sister Karen Kappell, Sister Lucy Ann Meyer and Sister Romana Klaubauf.
The first one listed from the FSPA in La Crosse is Obama staffer Sister Marlene Weisenbeck.

To paraphrase Archbishop Chaput one can vote for a pro-choice candidate without sinning. As long as that vote is not made because of the candidates stance on that issue, but because of the totality of other issues. He doesn't necessarily agree with the math, but that was the position he laid out.
You know Archbishop Chaput, the most liberal, "On Eagle's Wings", guitar Mass, Archbishop ever. Oh wait...
ROFLOL! Just say it, Seamless Garment. And he will raaaaaaise you up in a seeeeeeamless garmeeeent....
I think the National Catholic Distorter cited this in their screechy post about how the bishops were uber-silent about the recall, but that the nuns were vocal.
Aren't you special?

I feel dirty....
NCT totally turns the story around and makes the nuns heroes lol
If it makes you feel any better, BC, one of the comment called you a "nasty little Badger."
Kinda deflates your Wisconsin Bad Boy image when the Distorter links to your post, and doesn't call you a pro-Republican closed-minded bigot, don't it? ha ha
Or maybe I truly am a Bad Boy.... It will be like WWF and I rip open my shirt to reveal my black NWO shirt beneath, OR NCF in this case.

This post and Badger Catholic are referred to by Sr Maureen Fiedler of the Fishwrap, who fumes that Wisconsin's bishops were "silent" in regards to our pro life governor's reforms of public sector unions!
Oh sorry Larry D already pointed it out! I should read!
I am glad the nuns are speaking up! It is about time this old boys network in the church gets a poke in the eye!
There is nothing wrong with nuns speaking up(obviously that's not the issue). The point here is that Catholics cannot be pro-abortion without rejecting the basic principles of their faith. Anybody who's for abortion would be happy to see the nuns speak up in favor of it.
