"OBAMA giveth, and OBAMA taketh away;
blessed be the name of OBAMA."
Fr. Z scores again!
I am sorry but this woman is not a Catholic or a nun. She should be stripped of her title.
"This suggests to me that someone in the White House contacted Keehan to make sure that she would back Obama on this even if the American bishops were not adequately appeased (read “duped”) by Obama’s compromise… er um… accommodation."
Exactly. (The administration does things like this every single time.)
People need to get out ahead of this and show that her views are simply the views of one confused person with an agenda, and are not representative of the bishops.
Fr. Z ROCKS!

"OBAMA giveth, and OBAMA taketh away;
blessed be the name of OBAMA."
Are we back in the Garden again? There sure seem to be a lot of fig leaves being passed out today for Obamabots with this “accommodation.”
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Rush's perceptive comment today about Van Susteren's seeming lack of awareness last night when she referred to this as a "fight over contraception," should catch the attention of all who have bought into the Obama power grab. Is Greta a victim of law school training which did not focus on the Constitution's underlying ideas? Or, is she simply buying into the "progressive" over reach of power?
As in the so-called "health care reform," or "health care reform," or whatever other semantic maneuver was used, the President's language always is designed to disguise his intended agenda.
Constitutional illiteracy, brought about by the decades-long "progressive" censorship of the Constitution's underlying principles from textbooks and public discourse, has enabled him to be bold and confident in the belief that he can subvert the Constitution without "the People" knowing it.
James Madison stated: "Although all men are born free, slavery has been the general lot of the human race. Ignorant—they have been cheated; asleep—they have been surprised; divided—the yoke has been forced upon them. But what is the lesson? ... the people ought to be enlightened, to be awakened, to be united, that after establishing a government, they should watch over it ... It is universally admitted that a well-instructed people alone can be permanently free."
I don’t trust nuns that don’t wear habits.
Say What?
Her numerous awards and honors include the American Hospital Association’s Trustee Award; the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice (Cross for the Church and Pontiff), bestowed by Pope Benedict XVI; the American Cardinals’ Encouragement Award..blah, blah, blah..
Who is her Superior? She resides in DC. Why doesn’t Cardinal Wuerl address this?
Oh, he never addresses anything, but looks good on camera.
The USCCB responds:
“We hope to work with the Administration to guarantee that Americans’ consciences and our religious freedom are not harmed by these regulations.”
My Princes are dumber than rocks..Yeah, deals with the Devil are always successful because the Devil is such a moron.
It’s time to start snuffing the candles for her and the members of the USCCB that support her. This is beyond the pale.
Sister Carol, you bishop is on the phone waiting to excommunicate you, AGAIN! (This time forever, I hope!)
How dare this wicked misguided woman deign to speak for Catholics. Who the hell does she think she is? Being taught by the then good Sisters of Mercy Burlingame, I have nothing but contempt for the Leftist leaders of the former Catholic Healthcare/West for abondoning the Catholic heritage upon which their mission and assets were built.
