Please ask your Congressperson to support this resolution honoring Catholic sisters.

As you can see from the comments, there are plenty of people planning to oppose it.

The measure, officially titled "Honoring Catholic sisters for their contributions to the United States," was introduced June 18 by Democratic Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, a Catholic who represents Connecticut’s third district and is a member of the non-profit organization Catholic Democrats.

Among the reasons given in the resolution for Congress to support the sisters are that they:
"were instrumental in building the Catholic Church in the United States;"
"helped establish the nation’s largest private school system, educating millions of young Americans;" and,
"have answered Vatican II’s call to seek 'justice in the world'" and "continue this vital mission today: teaching our children in schools, healing the sick in hospitals, feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, administering major institutions, encouraging corporate responsibility, and advocating for public policies that honor human dignity."

The resolution also mentions the fact that, by the writers’ count, "since 1980, 9 American sisters have been martyred while working for social justice and human rights overseas."
