To say that I was impressed with Sister Simone Campbell's presentation at the recent Democratic National Convention is very much an understatement. She brought tears to my eyes with her clear and uplifting presentation as she related her experiences.
While I have come to consider myself a humanist rather than a religious person of any variety, I feel Sister Simone and her colleagues are heroes, ranking among the most outstanding examples of "the good" which Christianity and the Catholic Church, in particular, has to offer. Why? Because they are standing up for those who have repeatedly been and continue to be the victims of our profit-first society.

Nuns on the Bus hit the road with the goal of bringing as many signatures of ordinary Americans to the desks of congressional members of both parties for a presentation July 2. But King, a tea party darling who is a staunch supporter of fellow Catholic Ryan's budget plan, was nowhere to be found. Although his office promised a staffer to greet the sisters, none was there.
Nice replies in return of this difficulty with solid arguments and describing the whole thing on the topic of that.
Thank you for your comment!
Too bad. The Tea Party people should at least try to present a rational case. I frankly doubt they can make one.
J’apprécie cette photo mais j’en ai auparavant vu de semblable de meilleures qualifications;
Je vous remercie! Il ya de vrais héros, rarement honorés, qui risquent tout, y compris leur vie, à faire ce qui est bon pour les autres. Ils méritent nos plus grands honneurs et les éloges du public pour leurs dons incomparables pour nous.
Thank you! There are real heroes, seldom honored, who risk everything including their lives, to do what is right for others. They deserve our highest honors and public praise for their unmatchable gifts to us.
