Sisters of Subversion Do Not Represent the Catholic Church

There's nothing sadder than a lying nun.

Let alone 59 of 'em.

Of course, not getting any attention at all from the MSM is the statement sent out by Mother Mary Quentin Sheridan (R.S.M.), the President of The Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious (which represents over 100 religious congregations). Here is that statement:

In a March 15th statement, Cardinal Francis George, OMI, of Chicago, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, spoke on behalf of the United States Bishops in opposition to the Senate’s version of the health care legislation under consideration because of its expansion of abortion funding and its lack of adequate provision for conscience protection. Recent statements from groups like Network, the Catholic Health Association and the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) directly oppose the Catholic Church’s position on critical issues of health care reform.


The Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious, the second conference of Major Superiors of Women Religious in the United States, believes the Bishops’ position is the authentic teaching of the Catholic Church.


Protection of life and freedom of conscience are central to morally responsible judgment. We join the bishops in seeking ethically sound legislation.
