The Knights of Columbus have recently spent more than a million dollars lobbying for Proposition 8. If they’ve got that much money to meddle in the political affairs of California, perhaps they can dig up some spare change to help find a home for these three nuns.

Nah, what was I thinking? Nuns are, after all, only women: God’s cannon fodder.

Some ordinary lay Catholics, failing to understand the wisdom of the Churchâ€™s priorities, are acting from the heart.
â€œWhat a terrible thing for our church to do to these poor ladies,â€ said Clara Reese, a retired businesswoman from Thousand Oaks, Calif., who is raising money for the nuns in Santa Barbara, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.

Nuns have always been taken for granted by the Catholic Church. They dedicate their lives, work for free or give their checks to the convent, ask for very little. These nuns were moved around like furniture. They should have been invited to participate in the decisions about the abuse crisis and its financial consequences. They might have agreed to sacrifice their convent. Theyâ€™ve been sacrificing all their lives for the Church.
As often happens, ordinary people show more decency than the higher ups. Catholics in Santa Barbara are voting with their time and their dollars for the nuns. I hope they win.

I was raised and educated as a Catholic. I was never molested and that’s the only good thing I have to say about the Church. Well…, that and the fact that their educational system is better than their propaganda arm. Over 35 years or so, the education they provided me resulted in my becoming an ireedmable atheist. Congrat’s!
With the single exception of their stance on the death penalty, nearly everything they stand for sickens and disgusts me. From their genocidal opposition to birth control, to their lies about the effectiveness of condoms, to their coddling of pedophiles, the leadership of the church has convinced me that above the parish priest level, they are nothing so much as an amoral, mercenary, criminal organization.
I pity those poor brainwashed nuns and priests who are personally good and charitable people, but this eviction action doesn’t suprise me one bit. They don’t deserve to exist as an organization and if I was king of the world, they wouldn’t.

The Catholic Church has shown its true colors again. But is anyone surprised? Never forget that this church is also responsible(not alone of course) for the Holocaust.

Ad Deum Qui Laetificat,Juventutem Meam-To God, the joy of my youth. That was the response to the first prayer at the Altar from my time as an Altar SERVER(not “boy”) in the time of the Latin mass. The Sisters of Charity formed me for the first 8 years(whoops,forgot kindergarten) 9 years of my education. I am so sorry to hear of this predicament which underscores the fact that religion is tainted by the fact that it is orchestrated by human hand. Here ,in New York City we have Bishop Egan who looks the part and,hence, gets to play the part. When one truly understands the life of service the sisters dedicate themselves to then one knows secular “hotheads” such as myself must take umbrage at such an injustice since the Good Sisters will fight(like Roy Rogers) on behalf of others,never themselves. The “men” of the Church(not all,but a lot )would do well to reflect on how much harsher will be the judgement on those who seek to represent the Creator on earth. My prayers are with you ,Sisters,as they are all I have to give but then you are the ones who understand,that is more than enough. Jim Cark
