We have a community of them in my home town. They do it for free and take nothing from the oldsters or the city.
These nuns take care of the old--the poorest and sickest who have NO ONE to care for them and have NO PLACE to go. ALL the money the Little Sisters get is from contributions.
I wondered about that and asked "who" the contributors were. I was told "people of the community." So I started asking said people.
The butcher in my neighborhood always gave some meat to the Sisters. He said that the Little Sisters came and begged (asked) and the butcher gave. I imagine that they are impossible to say NO to.
Obama despises the Catholic Church as much as he reveres Islam.
U.S. Cardinal-Designate: Obama Lied To My Face, Stabbed Me In The Back, Reneged On His Promise;
Pat Dollard

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan says President Barack Obama hasn’t kept his promise, when it comes to the new White House policy on contraception.
Sources told CBS 2?s Marcia Kramer that Archbishop Dolan feels betrayed after his meeting with the president on the issue late last year.
A Catholic group in Alabama filed the first lawsuit against the Obama administration’s new birth control regulations as the controversy got even more heated Thursday.
The president ducked questions about the contraception controversy that is bedeviling his administration. The reason may be the latest attack from Dolan, who, sources told CBS 2, feels he was stabbed in the back by the president after the two met to discuss the issue.
“He was worried about being at odds with the Church, especially when it came to health care and education and charitable outreach,” Dolan told Kramer.
Kramer: “He made promises to you that he apparently hasn’t kept?”
Dolan: “Well, yeah. I’m honest in saying I feel a bit let down.”
Sources close to Dolan told Kramer that the archbishop felt betrayed after a November meeting with President Obama to discuss the contraception issue. Sources said the president promised Dolan that he would “get most of what he wanted.”
Instead, the administration issued a directive forcing Catholic institutions like schools and hospitals to pay for things like birth control and the morning after pill for their employees. The nation’s 355,000 churches are exempt.
“He assured me my administration wants to work closely with you,” Dolan said.
But that experience has left Dolan leery of any compromises the Obama administration might come up with.
“You would not be surprised that I’m a little skeptical,” Dolan said.
My father lives at a Little Sisters home in Chicago. I’m there visiting and volunteering every week. I know the nun heads up begging and if you’re a rich guy with a chain of grocery stores forget about it. You’ll be asked by a soft spoken little nun to help with God’s work and most are happy to give.
The Republicans halve to make this issue front and center. When the Little Sisters refuse to comply...what’s Obama’s end game? Asset seizures of nuns by the IRS? Throwing old people out on street? This is an astonishing over reach by Obama. He has no choice but to back down. There is no upside to beating on little nuns.
