SAN FRANCISCO — Little Sister of the Poor Rose Cantu remembers the first time she saw the women religious who inspired her to embrace the Catholic Church as her spiritual home.
“What drew me to the faith was the joy on the sisters’ faces as they cared for the elderly,” Sister Rose told the Register, as she recalled her pivotal visit to the order’s home as a teenage volunteer.
“Witnessing their faith in action led me to ask more questions about the God they worshipped.”
Almost two decades later, Sister Rose is a registered nurse who serves the elderly poor at St. Anne’s Home, a San Francisco-based residence that offers nursing care and assisted-living options to 86 residents.
At first glance, the young sister might appear far removed from the order’s legal fight to secure an exemption from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ contraception mandate.
But Sister Rose, like other members of her order, has followed the legal case closely and is now praying for a successful outcome to the oral arguments that will take place on Wednesday at the U.S. Supreme Court.
“Right now, we are putting this in God’s hands,” said Sister Rose.

Yes.
Bambi vs. Godzilla...the massive, despotic, atheist, Constitution-crushing Federal govt. destroys the lives and livelihoods of Catholic nuns who care for the elderly poor.
This country has become an madhouse.
Bambi vs. Godzilla or David vs. Golliath?
“...in God’s hands”
Most likely one of humanities most enduring statements
[a belated and overdue thank you Morgana]
I dunno. With Scalia gone, SCOTUS at best will split 4-4. The lower court rulings will obtain, and TLSOTP will lose...big time.
Not if your “God” has any relation to islam. islam is only the devils playground.
I assume these Godly people do not support Catholic Charities supporting the islam takeover of free people.
I wonder if this ruling is why they wanted Scalia dead?
I never support that bunch.
This is what happens when you allow your church apparatchik to run your life.
If the Catholic Church would really like to make a difference in the world perhaps they should start by denouncing Communism and Marxism first.
**‘We Must Obey God, Not Man’**
Amen!
Despite its name, Catholic Charities is not a religious organization. By any objective measure, it’s no different than any non-denominational charity like the International Red Cross.
Fair enough. If they support importing islam, they are as evil as islam itself.
They’re nothing but a government-funded racket.
Funny. Dont let Jesus run your life. Be smart.
The one catholic apostolic church of 2000 years attempted destruction that people leave and then argue that their new sect is more original to a bible that wasnt yet written down.
Be smart about a purposeless life... hokay.
Don’t look at the cover. Look at the book.
Yes, yes, spite the nuns’ service? That’s what you mean
Ummm... Not sure what you mean. Just saying that I have no idea where the Catholic Church stands any more. There’s a difference between charity at the end of a believers paycheck and charity at the end of the Roman spear.
