1.
God Bless You, Sister Ryan for your dedication to people who so need everyone's help...I have been working as a case manager with persons's with developmental disabilities for a long time...I don't know if I have touched people as you have, you're an angel on earth, and thank you for all you do for our folks. You have made their lives so much happier. Bless you,
2. Thank you Sister Ryan for making a contribution to Lanterman, a place many of us fear because the "clients" are not normal. My aunt was there for many years.Like Sister Ryan said, when these special people pass, they are able to leave a body that held them prisoner! My aunt was blessed when she returned home to God! AMEN!
3. What an incredible person! Can you imagine what a better world we would live in if more people made the choice to be like her? How great it would be if our kids said, "when I grow up, I want to be just like Sister Ryan!" Basketball stars and pop divas are not role models for growing caring, empathetic adults. She is.
4. How many of them see people who spend many years in institutions as people of value and worth as this nun does? If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem, if the critics put as much energy into building people up as they do in tearing people like Sister Ryan down, we would have a much better world.
5. I am not a Christian, however there are no boundaries in appreciating the work of care and love given by one person to another. For those folks who turned it into a religion/government bashing opportunity, I wonder how many of them have stepped forward to offer the dignity and respect to marginalized people as this nun has done.
6. In Claremont, I phoned to thank an atheist for his Letter to the Editor. He said the published version omitted this paragraph: "Verse 7, Isaiah 45--I form the light and create darkness: make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things." I checked a Bible and there it was. I hope comments about Letterman reach other commentators here. How many believers actually read holy books?
7. Choir singers repeatedly mention "bringing in returns of assets "pressed down & overflowing"--the musical sales pitch for investing in afterdeath real estate. When tithers "lose their faith" it means they realize they can manage their money better without taking a tenth off the top for clerics.
8. The nun is illegally taxpaid & acts with "grace & compassion" as if secular caretakers are all mean & uncaring. Such a subscriber-paid bit of pro-pope propaganda deserves a "Keys of the Kingdom" award. Any papal knights in the reporter's family? There are atheists in America--protecting public funds from religious misuse.
9. Skeletons are not fully mature until age 20 but church laws enforced here harm moms & babies. Since 1973 Roe v Wade lets pregnant women FREELY GO TO abortionists--they are "selecting out" of the gene pool the DNA that carries genetic disease. They're refusing to bear children to wife & child abusers, brothel clients & date rapists.
10. The story proves Lanterman is an indocrination center for Catholicism. It must be re-secularized. Abortion could have spared some cripples there of having lives so wretched that death was a relief. Forcing birth of sufferers is like letting road kill squirm to the last gasp--never a merciful fast killing blow. But babies are potential tithers so even rapist's offspring must be born. Shame on such pitiless profit-seeking.
