Bishops Should Stick To What They Do Best...

A Catholic nun and longtime administrator of St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix was reassigned in the wake of a decision to allow a pregnancy to be ended in order to save the life of a critically ill patient.

The decision also drew a sharp rebuke from Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted, head of the Phoenix Diocese, who indicated the woman was "automatically excommunicated" because of the action.

Neither the hospital nor the bishop's office would address whether the bishop had a direct role in her demotion. He does not have control of the hospital as a business but is the voice of moral authority over any Catholic institution operating in the diocese.

If this frocked fuckwit is an example of catholic "moral authority" then it is time to close all their fucking churches down and turn them into Starbucks' or something useful.

This is a good example of religious dogma being used for evil.

Its small minded petty.
