Just when I thought the Catholic Church could not get any more absurd I run into the headline “NUN EXCOMMUNICATED AFTER SAVING A MOTHER’S LIFE WITH ABORTION”.
Picture the scene: a 27 year old mother of FOUR and in her 11th week of pregnancy comes in with pulmonary hypertension. The choice is simple; either let the mother and fetus die or abort the 3 month-old fetus and let the mother of FOUR children live to take care of them.
To me this is not even a decision I would spend a second thinking about because it is so god-damn simple but Sister Margaret McBride, the senior administrator of St. Joseph Catholic Hospital in Phoenix , Arizona
Bishop Thomas Olmsted of Phoenix
The bishop said that the mother’s life cannot be preferred over the child’s; this even though the 11 week old fetus could never survive on its own. It seems the bishop would have preferred the mother and fetus to both die instead of allowing an abortion to save a mother who has four (4) children at home…see why my blood boils?
People immediately started commenting that it has taken many years for sexually abusive priests to be even reprimanded, let alone excommunicated and yet the bishop moved quickly to excommunicate a nun for doing what was the right thing to do; pedophile priests continue to receive communion but not a nun who has dedicated her life to her religion and her community and actually helped the sick and the poor, to be denied the sacraments is just despicable and incomprehensible.
Sister Margaret has been removed from her duties but many doctors at the hospital continue to write the papers and whoever will listen to them calling her “saintly’ and a great asset to the hospital, her religion and those in need but to no avail.
This is what I am talking about when I say that these old shit heads in the church hierarchy are out of touch with reality, out of touch with human beings, out of touch with normal life.
For these demented men to have power over others, over a religion they have made a laughing stock of the world is down right criminal. These so-called representatives of Jesus on earth are not only incompetent but they are dangerous. Many have said that Sister Margaret did Jesus’ work on earth while the Bishop wiled away his time in Rome
I hope Catholics around the world take note of what happened here and think very hard about where the religion is heading and then make some noise instead of bowing their heads and remaining silent like the sheep they have become.
PS: The hospital can no longer call itself Catholic.
