Tussling Over Jesus

[Madeline]

If you are interested in the other side, so far, it looks like there is no interest in that.

Catholic sister told Phoenix bishop abortion was allowed by Church teaching :: Catholic News Agency (CNA)

"A religious sister who was on a Catholic hospital panel that approved a direct abortion has excommunicated herself, the Diocese of Phoenix said on Tuesday"

"In addition, the diocese said that in this situation it was “clear” that St. Joseph’s Hospital was “not faithful to Catholic moral teaching” as outlined in the Ethical and Religious Directives (ERDs). Catholic Healthcare West, the hospital system of which St. Joseph’s is a part, has not followed the ERDs in at least one of their institutions, Chandler Regional Hospital.

According to the diocese, Bishop of Phoenix Thomas Olmsted is attempting to work with the hospital to help them fulfill requirements of self-identified Catholic institutions."

Imagine, the NYT not presenting the "full picture".

It is one thing to perform an abortion to save the mother. It is another to make a false claim that is clearly against the church's teaching.

The point is, no life-saving operation should be withheld for theological reasons, logical4u.

That was not the case Madeline. The nun was "representing" the church, falsely.
The hospital was not fulfilling the requirements to be considered a Catholic institution. You would have no problem cutting off "government" funding from a hospital that was not following the requirements to get federal dollars. It is a similar situation. You had a hospital and a single person that were making false claim about Catholism. They were falsely representing the funders.
It was not about giving an abortion. It was saying abortion was in line with the church's teaching. It is not. Not that you will try hard to see the similarities; I have seen your post regarding most things Christian.
