These ladies received no citations from the state’s Department of Health, yet they are still being targeted.
Nuns Caring for Terminally Ill Sue New York Over Transgender Mandate
. . . "The nuns take in terminally ill patients who have no one to care for them.
"According to EWTN News, the state’s public health agency sent the nuns three letters, accusing them of not complying with a 2023 New York law for “refusing to assign a room to a resident other than in accordance with the resident’s gender identity,” “prohibiting a resident from using a restroom available to other persons of the same gender identity,” and “willfully and repeatedly failing to use a resident’s preferred name or pronouns after being clearly informed of the preferred name or pronouns.”
"The New York Legislature passed “The Long-Term Care Facility Residents’ Bill of Rights for LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers and People Living with HIV” in 2023.
"The nuns filed a complaint on April 6, claiming the law violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
"We all know Catholic teachings: But complying with the state’s rules is not an option for them, since the directives contradict their Catholic faith, the sisters told the National Catholic Register, the sister partner of EWTN News. The Catholic Church teaches that sex can’t be changed or separated from gender, although it also says people identifying as transgender must be treated with respect and compassion."
Sorry; wrong nuns.
May God richly bless these ladies.
