Vatican’s Own News Website Profiles Pro-Abortion ‘Nun’ Praising US Midterm Election Results

VATICAN CITY, November 12, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – The Vatican’s news website has showcased an interview with a pro-abortion religious sister in its coverage of the recent U.S. elections.

Sister Bernadette Reis of Vatican News Service interviewed Sister Simone Campbell, leader of the left-wing “Nuns on the Bus”, about the election of over 100 women to the House of Representatives. The interview appeared November 8 on the vaticannews.va website. Vatican News describes itself on its website as the “information system of the Holy See.”

Campbell, 73, has stated publicly that she believes abortion should remain legal, which both contradicts Church teaching and renders her a problematic subject for a Vatican News Service interview in which she is portrayed favorably.

“Nuns on the Bus” is sponsored by NETWORK, a Catholic social justice lobby group of which Campbell is the executive director. According to the New York Times, “Nuns on the Bus” was founded as a “rebuke” to Pope Benedict XVI and the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) after the latter criticized both the radically feminist Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) and NETWORK itself.

A three-year investigation into the LCWR was stopped by Pope Francis in 2015.

The group travels through the United States on a bus to bring attention to various social justice causes. Its most recent tour, called “On the Road to Mar-a-Lago”, included 54 events in 21 states over the course of 27 days.

In the interview, Campbell voiced satisfaction that over 100 women have been elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Without mentioning any policies these women stood for, Campbell celebrated their sex, color, adherence to Islam, and choice of professions.

“I’m really very excited,” Campbell said. “We follow at the federal level, so I’m most aware of........

The only moral concern the marxist pope has is exterminating freedom via the global warming con. Saving souls is so yesterday.

The Vatican was less of a disgrace when it was peddling indulgences.

The world really is upside down. Maybe there is something in the water. During this past election I visited an otherwise rock solid Pro-Life group on FB, but they were enamored with “Beto” O roarke because they believed he cared more for women of color than Cruz. No amount of logic could convince them that a Democrat pro-abortion senator might be bad for the unborn. They actually bought the idea that opening more Planned Parenthood clinics in urban slums is good for women’s health.

It almost makes me want to give up ever reading, talking about, or thinking about politics in this country. The level of ignorance is breathtaking. If the Vatican is going to go ahead and back abortion, too, then the world really has gone nuts.
