KUDO's to good Bishop Brandt!
A Pennsylvania bishop has denied a women religious order's request to recruit using diocesan media due to the sisters' open dissent of the U.S. bishops in supporting the recent health care reform.
Bishop Lawrence Brandt of the Diocese of Greensburg wrote a letter on April 8 to the Sisters of St. Joesph in Baden, Pennsylvania, declining their request for promotional support from parishes in the Greensburg diocese for a vocations program at their convent on April 25.
The leadership of the Sisters of St. Joseph recently signed a letter written by the women religious social justice group NETWORK, who on March 17, urged the House of Representatives to vote in support of health care reform. Two days prior, Cardinal Francis George, president of the USCCB, denounced the health care bill in a statement for its provision of federally funded abortions.
