There have been recent letters chastising the protesters at the "Nuns on the Bus" rally. I was there, and the noise I heard were of those singing hymns and praying aloud the rosary and prayers for the protection of religious freedoms in our country. Most Catholics who were present do not respect and actually look with disdain upon anyone who, while using the backdrop of their religion, advocates activities and programs which are diabolically opposed to the tenents of Catholicism.
The nuns were very disingenuous for three reasons:
In Marietta, it is the tireless efforts of its good people who are helping the poor. Numerous religious and civic organizations and area churches have been providing meals, food, financial help, clothing and medical care to those in need.
These nuns are to be pitied. They are either misguided rebels of the church grabbing a spotlight to air their grievances, are too ignorant to realize that they are being used as pawns by the far lefties and socialists among us to advance their own warped ideologies, and hinder our religious freedoms.
