Catholic Nun confuses support of the Government Health Care Bill with the teachings of Jesus
Examiner.com ^ | March 19, 2010 | Réne Girard

Posted on 03/20/2010 7:47:25 AM PDT by RGirard

Today on Fox News, Neil Cavuto interviewed a Catholic Nun who said she supports the new Government health care bill because she thinks it is what Jesus would do and would have her do.

... she said "I speak for the 50 million people in the United States that don't have access and the 45 thousand people that die every year because they can't get healthcare."

Sister Campbell went on to talk about a man who died of prostate cancer "because he didn't get care for his cancer early enough ... that's wrong, in the richest country on earth, we shouldn't let that happen."

(Note: Subtract the National Debt from the Gross Domestic Product, and the U.S. ranks among the poorest countries on earth)

... "This is a gospel issue for me, it's about Jesus saying 'care for those in need' that's all I do, it's not about the Bishops, it's not about a fight, it's caring for people in need, that's it ... what can I do? Jesus would do it, so here I am ... I try to be faithful, that's all."

Although Sister Campbell seems genuinely concerned and sincere in her desire for health care reform, based upon her remarks, she does not appear to fully understand the Biblical scripture upon which the gospel message is based ...

Did Neil advice this nun that by supporting this bill, she is encouraging the government sanction of the destruction of millions of the unborn?

She should also know that socialism's ultimate goal is to strip man from God.

So....Jesus would have supported not only abortion, but Federal Funding of abortion?

The sister has lost her mind.

The time for a mass excommunication of these types from the Catholic Church is not soon enough.

I would recommend the “sister” go to sites like the Daily Mail on a daily/weekly basis and read about how “christian, humane and universal” govt-run health care really is...
In one month, I’ve read stories abt old folks being left in closets in med facilities, a guy calls the POLICE to get someone in the hospital to give him some water, a woman has her husband deliver her baby in the hospital corridor because hospital staff too busy, etc.
Dear God!!!!! These “religious folk” are criminally naive if they think this approach will help people and not kill unborn babies - in the name of God, these people are misguided...!

Right - someone should have held a gun to his head and made him get the test for prostate cancer.

ZeroCare will eliminate cancer screenings, anyway. It's cheaper to not find it until the person's about to die, and that way there's no cost for treatment.

You can't reason with people as stupid as leftist nuns; you just have to pray for their conversion.

This woman is a Pagan.

She is not a follower of the Messiah.

She rejects each of the Ten Commandments of YHvH.

The fundamental commandment she ignores is:

Deu 5:19 You shall not steal.

I'm sure in her delusions, she believes she will receive credit for charity.

Throughout its text,
the Gospel encourages extreme-sacrifical-love-of-neighbor (as a form of extreme-sacrifical-love-of-God) above all else.

Throughout the ages,
the Government has nought to do with love.

Sister Campbell substitutes “chicken soup” sentimentality for actual use of her God-given noodle.

I saw the interview.

The good sister was not doing too well, when she swerved toward the end into a monologue of Dear Leader/Demo-Rat talking points about the 50 Million uninsured; the 45,000 who die each year; someone she knows who died of cancer cuz they did not have health care, etc., and she consequently, completely lost what little objectivity she had attempted to portray and made a complete fool of herself and her arguments completely disintegrated.

While a Catholic, I dare suggest that she is nuttin but a clueless, FAR LEFT, Moonbat and though I'd like to give her the benefit of the doubt, I am convinced she is a true believer in the Socialist Utopia and an Obamabot Lemming!

The man who didn't get treatment early enough for his prostate cancer may not be the system's fault as it surely implies he got treatment and maybe didn't take advantage of numerous free screening programs. The little sister also better look at the UK and Canada where many people routinely die of cancer because they didn't get treatment early enough solely because they had to wait in line for their government health care or were denied life saving treatment by the death panels.

I don't recall in Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan that the Samaritan had to fill in government forms to give aid or was restricted by the government from paying for the victim's care himself.

She’s not a good sister. She’s a pro-abortion bitch.

There! I said it!

These sisters have been running around, openly pro-abortion, since the 1970s. Our pathetic bishops have done nothing about them.

The majority of bishops in this country, and a huge portion of the religious, are scum. They are enemies of both the Church and the country.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (the leadership) is the scum de la scum. They have already started their postcard campaign for amnesty for illegal aliens.

This poor fool has been unduly influenced by the communists who have infiltrated the Church since, if the article below is correct, the 1930’s:

“or was restricted by the government from paying for the victim’s care himself.”

Today, they would come after the innkeeper for operating an unlicensed health care facility;)

so true! my father is on Medicaid and they have spent a small fortune on him this past year, but to be fair he did pay into the system a major amount of money almost all his life
