Nearly 2,000 Catholic Nuns Sign Letter Demanding Trump ‘Count the Votes’
Religion News Service ^ | 11/5/20 | Jack Jenkins

‘It may be frustrating that we do not know immediately who won our 2020 Presidential election. Nonetheless, democracy is worth the hard work and the wait,’ said Sister Simone Campbell.

(RNS) — Nearly 2,000 nuns have signed a letter addressed to President Donald Trump suggesting he abandon calls to halt vote tallies in various states and instead “count the votes.”

The letter accuses “some elected officials” of making “the immoral choice to hold onto power at any cost, including disenfranchising thousands, denying their most sacred gift: their voice.”

“We took vows as Catholic Sisters, and you took a vow to uphold the Constitution,” the letter to Trump reads. “Stay true to your vow. Count the votes.”

The more than 1,950 Catholic nun signatories hail from across the country, including states where the Trump campaign has called for recounts or is suing to stop vote counts, such as Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.

“Donald Trump’s reckless attempts to disenfranchise millions of people across the country struggling during this pandemic is shameful and will not be tolerated,” Sister Simone Campbell, head of the Catholic social justice lobby Network that helped organize the letter, told Religion News Service in a statement.

“It may be frustrating that we do not know immediately who won our 2020 Presidential election. Nonetheless, democracy is worth the hard work and the wait. We must insist that our democracy can and does work. We will give the vote counting the time needed to ensure that we accurately count every vote.”

One look at who are what these particular nuns are and you can pretty much rule them out as being of the high caliber of nuns supporting President Trump at his rallies:

Did the "francis-biden nuns" say anything about only counting legitimate votes?

They want Biden because he’ll bring back the illegal illegal alien ‘resettlement funds’ gravy train.

She's a liberal hack - sounds just like a CNN commentator.. Pope Commie Francis would be proud. She's an ignorant liberal who is probably pro-abortion and pro-homo. If she was objective, she'd agree with President Trump that we need to: "COUNT EVERY LEGAL VOTE!" The operative word being LEGAL.

Resign from your position as a nun because you’re not. You’re a pro abortion, pro queer loving democrat operative.

I swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution against ALL ENEMIES - foreign & domestic.

You choose to be a domestic enemy, you’d better be prepared.

The Catholic church is a socialist organization and can F’ itself.

That said, no, I do not think members of the church are socialist by association.

In the great original film Bedazzled, the Dudley Moore nebbish character saw Satan (Peter Cook) scratching LPs and sabotaging things to make people mad and get them to swear.
He had a bird put a dropping on one man but another went by just fine.
Moore: “Why didn’t you do something to that vicar down there?”
Satan: “Oh, he’s one of ours.”
