She is obviously very wrong, but I was also disappointed in the commentator’s rebuttal. It was more of a character assault than laying down the truths on the issue as the Church teaches them. I believe that would have been very effective. You don’t correct error with character assaults, but with truth.

As to letting the Bishop know what’s going on . . . it’s his diocese and their paper. By this time someone at the Chancery has noticed the article and let the Bishop in on it.

What will probably happen is that the Bishop will ask her congregation to transfer her out of his diocese. Unless she belongs to a diocesan congregation or a cloistered community bishops have no authority over individual religious. They only have authority over the laity in their dioceses, the secular clergy and diocesan ministries.

This nun’s views are obviously problematic in the extreme and deserve (demand) rebuttal, but this commentator is a bit of a loose cannon. While a part of me wants to say “Right on!” to his spirited, harsh character attack – the nun deserves it and more – over-the-top, sneering vitriol like this ultimately does a lot more harm than good.
 
There is already a thread about this.

Love the sinner, hate the sin. Pray, pray, pray.

I don’t like how the guy in the video talked about the sister. Even if she is wrong, she should get the respect that any nun or even any woman should get 😦

I don’t like what the nun wrote in the paper either though. I believe her mistake is that while, as she said, God gives us freedom, we should still use our freedom to protect the innocent when we can. And laws to protect the innocent are the best way to do that.
 
He is Michael Voris of “One True Faith” he does seem to have a habit of going over board sometimes…
 
While it is true that God allows us to make our choices, those choices also come with eternal consequences. God, has also given authority and responsibility to the state to protect and ensure a just ordering of society. Therefore, certain choices that materially harm the common good, should be suppressed. The killing of unborn children is completely contrary to justice and therefore to the common good, especially as experienced by those unborn members of the society.
 
I guess that we all agree that the article written by the Sister was off the mark and deserves a coherent Catholic response, not a character assault.

The response made here are the ones that the commentator should have offered.
  1. God is not pro choice, he is pro freedom. But freedom comes with responsibility and duties. Sometimes it has consequences.
  2. There are children who are dying of hunger, but abortion would not solve the problem of hunger. Hunger is caused by the same value system that causes abortion, a blatant disregard for the life and well-being of another.
  3. Social action is very much a part of the Church and is not an out-moded thing of the 60s. The Church has an obligation to speak out in favour of the abandoned. Otherwise, why do we need a Mother Teresa?
  4. Social action must also speak to mean of Christ’s love for them and their dignity. Mother teresa not only rescued the hungry and dying, but also the unborn.
This would have been more appropriate responses.

Merry Christmas,

JR 🙂
 
God would be pro-choice because he causes miscarraiges (“natural” abortions), and not all babies are miscarried, so…

Correct me if I’m wrong.
 
I don’t really see anything wrong with saying that God is pro-choice, as long as you add that he is also pro-punishment if you choose the wrong thing.

I’ve heard this argument before in support of abortion. It makes about as much sense as saying “people die of natural causes/disease; therefore, there is nothing wrong with murder.”

Many miscarriages are due to causes of extreme problems with the baby. God saves these small souls from their pain and suffering and takes them directly to heaven. I don’t consider this pro-choice - If it was a choice, I believe the parents would not choose the baby to leave them before the child was born.

Agree. Some good material, they have good intentions and are trying hard but are still in the book learning stage; having a hard time practicing what they are preaching. Still too new to what living a life without sin, humility and tolerance is all about. Maybe need a little practice? Consider the source and pray for them, it’s going to be a hard fall.

Not where intrinsic evil in concerned.

You may disagree with how much fasting before Communion is optimal, or if a particular Sain’t feast day should be a Holy Day of obligation.

But you may NOT claim that God promotes evil, which is exactly what this nun is doing.
