NETWORK Nuns roundup

A few thoughts.  If pro-life nuns, which these are not, protested anti-life legislation, do you think anybody in the media would cover it?  On the other hand, some of the media coverage has been pretty balanced, some even questioning the credibility of the nuns on economic matters.  Also, check out this image put out by NETWORK.

How can they at one time hate habits but love them when they find them to politically beneficial?

Voces de la Frontera(pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage) join with "Nuns on the bus"  on the picket line:  https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10150928569463853&id=310264703852

NETWORK Nuns in Chicago

Laetificat


Colbert even interviewed Campbell("people used to be intimidated by those habits").



Sr. Campbell boasts of 400 showing up for her rally in South Bend(all Notre Dame professors?)... For comparison, last night's Rosary Rally at the Capitol brought in 4-500... :)

Oh, I don't think there were 400 people at the Rosary Rally last night. I counted 250-300.

Also, I think it really, really funny that in that photo from Laetificat, the sign quoting Thomas Paine ("It's an affront to treat falsehood with complaisance") is being held right next to "Jesus was a liberal." Jesus did not and does not align himself with political values such as conservative or liberal, and to assign our own petty politics on him is ridiculous. (Not to mention that whoever's holding the sign must not be Catholic, since they seem not to think Jesus IS, but only was.)

Benedictines taught me from 1st grade through 8th grade. All excellent. Perpetual Adoration Franciscans taught me in high school. One of them did not wear a veil in the later part of high school. Some also later wore modified habits. The attacks on their consecrated life were becoming evident. The worse attack came in 1989 at a class reunion. Lord have mercy-the reunion committee put on a little skit. Men and women on stage lifted up their aprons to reveal...I can not say on this family blog. At least one of our nun teachers was a guest of "honor". This is an example of the attack on consecrated life from within and what do we expect to result from it? Consecrated life on parade so it can be further attacked.
Let us pray the daily family rosary for those in consecrated life.
By the way-four nuns on a bus in Janesville was NOT a bus full of nuns!
Opposition to the Obama HHS Mandates at this Janesville event was met with a few comments, including:
disgusting pig (2x)
how terrible of you (more than once)
how will my 26 yr. old son be covered by insurance?
to which I replied:
the HHS Mandates say that all children, ages 0-26, will receive free, confidential-no parental notification-contraception, sterilization, and abortion drugs (source: Alliance Defense Fund Obama HHS Mandate Fact Sheet)
All the while praying the rosary and Our Lady was "opening doors"
