Barack Obama previously thanked Keehan for her support of the Affordable Care Act, saying ‘without your moral force, we would not have succeeded.’
WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) – Pope Francis congratulated a U.S. nun known for her prominent support of the pro-abortion Obamacare against the wishes of the U.S. hierarchy, saying she continues the “healing ministry of Jesus Christ.”
Sister Carol Keehan, D.C. received the 2022 Spirit of Francis Award from the non-profit fundraising group Catholic Extension due to her “advocacy for the poor and universal access to health care.”
The event was attended by Papal Nuncio to the U.S. Archbishop Christophe Pierre along with dissidents Cardinals Blaise Cupich and Wilton Gregory.
At the award ceremony, held in the United States Library of Congress, Keehan was given a letter written by Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin conveying the praise of Pope Francis.
“His Holiness willingly associates himself with this recognition of her many years of dedicated leadership in continuing the healing ministry of Jesus Christ through the provision of quality health care for all, especially those most in need,” read the letter, which was sent to Keehan via Cardinal Cupich.
Continuing, Parolin’s letter noted that Francis “appreciates as well her generous service to the Holy See and her fidelity to the charism of Saint Vincent de Paul, carrying out the apostolate of charity in ‘the consciousness that we are responsible for the fragility of others as we strive to build a common future.’” The letter was read aloud at the gala dinner by Archbishop Pierre.
