“Hamas is Sympathetic and Nuns Are Scary and Must Be Bullied Into Submission”

Founded in 1839 by Saint Jeanne Jugan, the Little Sisters of the Poor are an international congregation of Roman Catholic women religious, serving the elderly poor in over 30 countries

“The mission of the Little Sisters of the Poor is to offer the neediest elderly of every race and religion a home where they will be welcomed as Christ, cared for as family and accompanied with dignity until God calls them to himself”

Federal Court Issues Nationwide Ruling: Little Sisters of the Poor Must Provide Abortion and Contraceptives

…..or face tens of millions of dollars in fines. Many of you will remember that the Catholic nuns won a case at the Supreme Court in 2020. But Pennsylvania and New Jersey have continued their legal efforts.

Becket: “The district court blessed an out-of-control effort by Pennsylvania and New Jersey to attack the Little Sisters and religious liberty,” said Mark Rienzi, president of Becket and lead attorney for the Little Sisters. “It’s bad enough that the district court issued a nationwide ruling invalidating federal religious conscience rules. But even worse is that the district court simply ducked the glaring constitutional issues in this case, after waiting five years and not even holding a hearing. It is absurd to think the Little Sisters might need yet another trip to the Supreme Court to end what has now been more than a dozen years of litigation over the same issue. We will fight as far as we need to fight to protect the Little Sisters’ right to care for the elderly in peace….”  “As Little Sisters of the Poor, we dedicate our lives to caring for the elderly poor until God calls them home,” said Mother Loraine Marie Maguire of the Little Sisters of the Poor. “We will continue to fight for the right to carry out our mission without violating our faith, and we pray Pennsylvania and New Jersey will end this needless harassment.” The Little Sisters will appeal the ruling in the coming weeks (Becket).

Mollie Hemmingway: Truly awful how much former President Obama, former AG Josh Shapiro, and other Democrats have tried to destroy the Little Sisters of the Poor. Pray for these women of conscience in their time of persecution (Hemmingway).

David Strom: You would think that the left would be smart enough to leave a group called “Little Sisters of the Poor” alone. It’s not like they are great in number or even a household name, and you have to admit that the name itself should warn opponents to keep their hands off. You can’t find a much more sympathetic bunch. But of course, for the left, Hamas is sympathetic, and nuns are scary and must be bullied into submission. It is impossible to overestimate how much any dissent is intolerable to the left. That is the essence of totalitarianism. In the old Soviet Union, even novelists were so repulsive to the regime that Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn had to be crushed, lest the regime appear weak. The same is true here. Little Sisters of the Poor cannot be tolerated, lest anybody else get the idea that liberty still exists in America (HA).

What happened to freedom of religion?
