New York nuns forced to fight back against crazy gender law telling them to treat biological men as women at hospice

Just when we thought that gender ideology nonsense and pronoun tyranny had died off, there’s a story that reminds us how deeply entrenched it is in our society.

This week, the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, NY, who run Rosary Hill Home — a Catholic hospice for the impoverished — filed a lawsuit accusing the state of violating their constitutional rights. It relates to a 2024 law that requires the facility to affirm gender identity in regard to patients’ pronouns, room assignments and restroom usage.

New York’s LGBTQ Long-Term Care Facility Residents’ Bill of Rights was sponsored by Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal when he was a state senator. The state’s health department has sent three letters to Rosary Hill Home warning them about compliance.

But the idea that anyone can change their biological sex is contrary to Catholic belief.

“We Sisters have taken care of patients from all walks of life, ideologies, and faiths,” Mother Marie Edward, general superior of the Hawthorne Dominicans, said in a statement. “We treat each patient with dignity and Christian charity. We have never had complaints. We cannot implement New York’s mandate without violating our Catholic faith.”

Back in early March, the facility wrote to the state asking for an exemption to the law, but their request was met with silence, said their attorney Martin Nussbaum. He notes that the state has given one to facilities run by the Church of Christ, Scientist.

Rosary Hill Home has 42 beds and the sisters separate men and women by floors. But under the law, if a biological man said he was a woman and demanded to room with females, the nuns would have to oblige. Even over the objections of any women who also lay dying.

Is it though? I'm not the best rehearsed in the myriad of Church documents, but I kinda doubt that's something that's mentioned. It's like saying Catholics don't believe two plus three is seven. Math and biological fact aren't really areas that religions tend to bother having beliefs in. Facts are facts. No belief is necessary.

Wait until these transsexual goons start signing up for the nunnery. I bet those crazy judges will rule for those crazed trannies.

The last three Popes have made it a point to condemn “gender ideology”.
