This is a worse scandal (not that it will be reported that way) than any priest sex scandal. A Catholic Religious has taken an innocent life. There is no defense to that.

The Sisters of Mercy are a religious institute of pontifical rite. So the local bishop has limited power over them (think about Bishop D'Arcy and Father Jenkins of Notre Dame).

These articles need to be forwarded to the Apostolic Nuncio, Abp Pietro Sambi:
Mailing Address: 3339 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W, Washington, DC, USA
Telephone: (202)333-7121
Fax: 337-4036

Also, Cardinal Franc Rodé, the Prefect for the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, should be made aware of this.

The Congregation is located in front of St. Peter's Basilica at Piazza Pio XII, 3 / 00193 Rome.

Pertinent telephone numbers are:
His Eminence the Cardinal Prefect +39. 06. 69884121

Lloyd Deane, the CEO of CHW, is an Obama supporter. He raised money for him and was in favor of Obamacare.

IMO, an avowed liberal who isn't even Catholic, has no business being the head of Catholic hospitals! Whose brilliant idea was this, anyway?
