‘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.”

Let me guess. Jesuit nuns.
Fake nuns and fake catholics.
Siding with sin?
The nuns, as a whole, are basically socialists by life-style, vows of poverty with maintenance by the collective. Having grown up in Catholic Schools, educated by nuns, this was very apparent. They LOVED JFK with a blind eye to his moral indiscretions (although they were assisted by a syncophantic press.) They continued this adoration long beyond the time the curtain had been lifted from the cover-up. How anyone who calls themselves Catholic can support the infanticide known as abortion is baffling to me ... it is ideology over morality of the highest order.
Let me guess. You have no idea of what a Jesuit is.
Yes
That’s not a nun, that’s a cat lady!

LOL
Nuns live in communes. They don’t understand it is their choice and being forced to live like them is not everyone’s cup of tea.

What makes you think that Trump is trying to disenfranchise ANY voters?
Hey, “sisters”...how about counting all LEGAL votes. Are you blind to the corruption and the perfidy?
Oh, they are street nuns -
