...In the Clothing of Sheep

Over the past couple of months, I have been toiling away at my Visual Basic programing and trying hard not to pay too much attention to the crap going on in the news of late. Frankly, I get too frustrated and venting takes a certain level of energy which has been needed in order to get my other work done. Now, with the bulk of my other work done, I can finally devote some quality time to my ranting.

BTW... Hope you all had a great summer and a restful Labor Day ;)

Yesterday, I read a story about a group of Catholic nuns who wrote a letter demanding the impeachment of our president, GW. Of course, being a concerned Catholic, I took immediate notice of this action and questioned it right from the get-go.

Religion Briefs Coalition of nuns calls for impeaching Bush and Cheney

JOURNAL WIRE REPORT

A progressive group of U.S. nuns has called on Congress to impeach President Bush and Vice President Cheney because of their roles in the war in Iraq.

“The National Coalition of American Nuns is impelled by conscience to call you to act promptly to impeach President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for ... high crimes and misdemeanors,” the group wrote in a letter written on behalf of its board members.

The letter says that impeachment is warranted for their “deceiving the public under the false pretense that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction” and “destroying” the reputation of the United States and the good will of other nations.

“The time for impeachment is now — before the example of George W. Bush’s regime is set in stone,” they wrote. “Future generations will thank you for preserving the freedom of our nation and its relation to the entire human community.”

Well, it didn't take long for me to Google this bunch and find out just what kind of deceitful and poisonous cancer they really are...

American Nuns’ Group Voter’s Guide Favours Abortion, Homosexuality

By Hilary White

WASHINGTON, November 3, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The National Coalition of American Nuns (NCAN), has issued a U.S. voters’ guide promoting acceptance of homosexuality, abortion, “gay marriage”, and adoption of children by homosexual partners. The organization is also a strong proponent of women’s ordination and numerous leftist causes.

NCAN, which in various reports is said to represent anywhere from 500 to 1200 U.S. nuns, was founded in 1969 by prominent dissident Sister Margaret Traxler of the congregation of Notre Dame. Sr. Jeannine Gramick, another Notre Dame nun, and co-founder of the gay friendly New Ways Ministry, is currently a member of the NCAN Executive Committee.

In “An Open Letter to Catholic Voters,” dated October 22, the organization, which is not officially recognized by the Church, urged Catholics to “vote their own consciences in the November elections.”

The sisters urged voters to have “respect for the moral adulthood of women.” “We… will choose legislators who will recognize the right of women to make reproductive decisions and receive medical treatment according to the rights of privacy and conscience.”

The statement gives a thinly veiled plug for gay “marriage” saying that “citizens in committed relationships - whether marriages or civil unions - should retain all rights consonant with their state including, but not limited to, adoption of children, ownership of property, inheritance, health, and end-of-life decisions.”

This oblique support was followed more explicitly with, “We pledge ourselves to initiate, invite, and support deepening actions on behalf of social justice, particularly as these impact women, racial/ethnic minorities, and gay or lesbian persons.”

These so-called "Catholic" organizations work tirelessly to deceive the flock and lead others to follow in their "progressive" ways. So in the future, whenever you hear a Catholic group pushing a doctrine in line with a culture of death and little red flags go up in your head, know that the wolves are prowling amongst the flock.

...Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them. (Matthew 7:15-20 Douay-Rheims)
