Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
The National Organization for Women, furious over the Hobby Lobby ruling and organizations that stand up against the Affordable Care Act’s mandate on abortion causing drugs, has released a list called the “Dirty 100” that includes a group of nuns.
The list, which consists of organizations that have filed lawsuits against the ACA, features the Little Sisters of the Poor as a “dirty” organization.
The Little Sisters of the Poor dedicates themselves to serving impoverished elderly people with “grace of hospitality toward the aged poor.” The group operates 200 homes on five continents and serves over 13,000 residents. The nuns who work in the order live communally and take vows of poverty, chastity, obedience and hospitality.
The Little Sisters of the Poor were not the only groups that the National Organization for Women says are “dirty.” The list included Priests for Life, a pro-life group that also advocates against the death penalty and 12 Catholic dioceses.
NOW, one of the largest pro-abortion groups in the country, wants to see a significantly expanded mandate for contraception imposed on all businesses than what is in the Affordable Care Act.
Everyone ought to look up the NOW Dirty 100 to find out who we should support with our dollars. You might also find (as I did) that you are a proud graduate of one of the colleges they named on their list–in my case Franciscan University of Steubenville (Ohio). They also list several Catholic diocese and archdiocese. In fact, they needed much more than 100 spots on their list just for the diocesan offices!!! NOW has been a ugly organization since its beginning. It isn’t surprising that they’d dare to defame nuns.
