What do you get when you mix Catholic nuns with leftist politics? Leftist nuns, of course. One particular group of leftist nuns have been hitting the pavement full speed this campaigning season with their Nuns on a Bus tour. Traveling through the swing state of Ohio these holy rollers–as the media refers to them–are hard at work preaching the message of big government, higher deficits, and the virtues of keeping the poor in the pocket of the Democratic party.
As with everything liberal, the mainstream media is all too happy to paint a rosary picture of just how wonderful these nuns are. Of course the opposing argument from people of faith is never covered — such as the virtues of not keeping people in poverty … or not spending our great-great-great-great-grandchildren into debt.
Despite the media blackout WE can still make a difference, as shown by Marietta OH 9-12 Project! These true believers met the holy rollers in Marietta Ohio for a healthy does of spiritual warfare, and outed the Nuns on a Bus for what they truly are: “Radical, feminist ideologues whose previous political actions have been so out of step with the teaching of the Catholic Church that they have been condemned by the Vatican.”
So, what happens in the media when we shine the light of truth on radical leftists? Generally nothing. On the other hand, when the Tea Party demonstrators well outnumber the holy rollers: Even the far left media is forced to cover it. Hence the coverage by far left organizations such as Huffington Post in this article.

Sadly, you are right on. Another issue is this, the Roman Catholic Church doctrines, catechism, etc, believe and promote another Gospel! A salvation of faith + works. And have added so much error to the Word of God! Such as praying to Mary, the Bible declares that there is “One Mediator between God and man, Jesus Christ” 1 Tim. 2:5, and Jesus Himself said “I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6. So confession to a priest? wrong. No where in the first TRUE church of the Book of Acts of the Apostles in the Bible is there any confession to a priest, rosary, transubstantiation, indulgences, praying to dead saints or Mary. In addition, the Roman Catholics ecumenical movement is trying to unite or bring all people of many “religions” back to Rome. The current pope and the last one have united many “religious” leaders or the world in Assisi, Italy and so many false leaders where there such as snake handlers, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, etc. and the pope said “we are all praying to the same god” Yes its true they are; A FALSE god! when they unite like this they are compromising the Gospel that clearly declares Jesus is the ONLY way to God! YET, the Catechism of the Vatican declares in para. 841 that the Muslims and Catholics are praying to the same god! Again, a false one! NO way does a TRUE Christian pray to the same God of someone who does not accept Jesus as the Son of God and straps a bomb on a child and murders innocent people for 70 virgins in “heaven” and to please Allah? Hardly! yet, the Roman Catholic Church has and is uniting many people and again compromising the Word of GOD! In addition NO where in the Word of GOD is there EVER any clear indication of a baby baptism! I will pay $1,000 to anyone who can show me where it is clearly written in the Bible? as of today no one has been paid! Jesus rebuked the traditions and doctrines of man, especially when it is “Not written” in God’s Word! Go bless and may the Catholics who are blinded by doctrines of man be delivered as I was out of it. For I was Roman Catholic for over 39 years. God bless and Jesus loves you – Pastor Bob Tarasiak
While I disagree with the “nuns on the bus” liberal agenda, “Pastor” Bob’s tirade against Catholic teaching is out of line here. We wouldn’t even have the Bible if not for the Catholic Church. For the Church came first, and out of that first community of believers the Bible was written. To pit the Bible against the Church betrays a wrong understanding of how God has revealed himself to us. The Bible didn’t fall down from heaven; it was written by men under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Just to take one item of the list above: Jesus said to the apostles: “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained” (John 20: 22-23). Jesus gave them the power to forgive sins, and this power is transmitted through the laying on of hands in ordination to priests.
I find those that protested the Nuns on the Bus appearance reprehensible. While they have every right to argue the political and even the religious philosophy of what the nuns stand for, they are not in any position to make a judgement as to who is a Catholic or who isn. It is a common practice, from my observation, that those who are the most self rightous tend to be the greediest amongst us.
It is important to remember that to those that much is given much is expected. And, while I would never call myself any form of a biblical scholar, I believe it is the moral duty of all of us–Christian or not–to help feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and house the homeless.
If the grotesque, weird and warped political philosophy of the Tea Party and its adherents ends up the rule of the day then the moral conscience of this country will be silenced.
