Here is but another unbelievable action from the Church of the Many Protected Pedophiles. Hospital Administrator and member of the ethics committee, Sister Mary Margaret McBride is a true heroine. Her character and commitment are described as "courageous," "saintly," and "the moral center of the Catholic hospital." While she was but one member of the ethics committee which made the decision to save a woman who was 11 weeks pregnant by abortion, she has been excommunicated by Phoenix bishop Thomas J Olmsted who stated "The ends do not justify the means." Indeed, what is the life of a mother of four worth, bishop? Hospital officials defended McBride’s actions and released a statement saying, "In this tragic case, the treatment necessary to save the mother’s life required the termination of an 11-week
pregnancy." The woman had pulmonary hypertension which doctors believed would have killed her and her unborn child, if not for an emergency abortion. You see bishop..a two-fer! There’s no gray area in his bi-focals, one or both are expendable.
The blindness and hypocrisy of authority figures in the Catholic Church far too often discourages the good people who devote their lives to its service, is it any wonder that the greedy and perverse flourish with protection from laws applicable to the rest of us?
