Nuns, Walker Recall Petitions - SOCIAL JUSTICE

This story from Breitbart's Big Government doesn't surprise me at all.

As the Catholic Church takes action to counter the left-wing drift of American nuns, Breitbart.com has learned that hundreds of nuns are involved in the left's campaign to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R)--in favor of pro-choice Democratic challengers.

The nuns who have circulated and signed petitions include sisters from convents and other Catholic institutions across the state.

Over 100 signatures, for example, all of female voters, as verified through iverifytherecall.com, list the same address as a Dominican institution in Sinsinawa, WI, in the southwestern portion of the state. Representatives of that organization could not be reached for comment.

One Catholic official at a school with a large number of signatories stressed that Catholic organizations advocate for the poor and downtrodden, but do not take political positions, and that what their individual members do is up to them alone.

Though many Catholic voters support Walker, and roughly 40% of Wisconsin Republican primary voters are Catholic, there is some Catholic opposition to Walker's collective bargaining reforms among those partial to the "social justice" movement within the Catholic Church. Democrats are hoping to tap into that opposition.

It's very sad that these Catholic nuns are so misguided.

In the name of "social justice," they align themselves with radical anti-life people like Kathleen Falk and Tom Barrett. (Read Tom Barrett's pro-abortion fundraising email below.)

Frankly, it's disgraceful.

It boggles my mind that these nuns jump to disregard the most fundamental aspect of practicing our faith and the social justice doctrine - respecting life itself.

Human dignity is the foundation. The sanctity of life is what it's all about.

We can't talk about caring for the poor and the sick and the weak if they're MURDERED before taking their first breath, now can we?

Of course, these Leftist nuns signed the Walker recall petition.

Using the online searchable database of the Scott Walker recall petitions, I've found the signatures of many priests as well.

Again, given their homilies and their clear politicking during MASS, I wasn't surprised.

I've been meaning to write a post about what I found. I've thought about naming names and holding them accountable. Suffice it to say radical priests have signed to oust Walker.

How can these priests be willing to blind themselves to the Democrat attacks on our religious freedom and to the Democrats' decades-long assault on the sanctity of life?

I don't get it.

I don't get a lot of what's going on in the Church, MY Church.

Naturally, the Leftists embrace the Leftist nuns and clergy. They serve to boost the Leftists' moral position.

That makes it all the more disgusting. Truly disgusting.

Leftist, anti-Scott Walker Catholic nuns and priests, why are you OK with the slaughter of the unborn? Why do you support candidates that promote the murder of the weak and vulnerable? Where is the "social justice" in that?

Please explain.

Self-proclaimed Catholic Tom Barrett's pro-abortion fundraising email, April 20, 2012:

Friend --

Wisconsinites support a woman's right to health services and family planning because it is a fundamental value. Unlike Scott Walker, I firmly believe that personal, private health care decisions are best made by women, families, and doctors -- not the government.

But a woman's right to choose is under attack. Just this morning the Wisconsin State Journal reported that Planned Parenthood is shutting down a reproductive health service because of Scott Walker's extreme legislation that subjects a woman's doctor to possible felony charges if they don't follow new right-wing rules for providing constitutionally-protected medical care.

As governor, I will stand with Wisconsin's women to ensure that their right to affordable, quality health care is never infringed by radical special interests. Watch my video about Scott Walker's war on women and make a donation of $8 to stand up for women's rights before our deadline on Monday at midnight:



If you believe that intimate, difficult and deeply personal medical decisions are best made between a woman and her doctor, I need you to stand with us by making a grassroots donation of $8 before our fundraising deadline at midnight on Monday.

First, Scott Walker defunded Planned Parenthood, denying basic, preventative health care to at least 12,000 women. Then, he rolled back protections of Wisconsin's Equal Pay enforcement law, making it more difficult for women to fight discrimination in the workplace. And now, he's used the fear of felony charges to limit a woman's ability to access constitutionally-protected medical care.

I'll fight to protect fundamental health services for Wisconsin's women. Will you stand with us and help end Scott Walker's war on women by making a donation of $8 before our fundraising deadline on Monday at midnight?

Thank you,

Tom Barrett

Walker's War on Women?

Barrett, Falk, and the Leftist nuns and priests are waging a War on Life.

WAR ON LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
