I went to visit sick people in what use to be St. Joseph’s ‘Catholic’ Hospital. But since the ‘Catholic’ sisters who run the place allow procedures that go against Catholic teaching, Bishop Olmsted obliged them to remove ‘Catholic’ from their name. It is now just called St. Joseph’s hospital or Dignity Healthcare.
In the lobby and in other halls there are only archeological evidence that it once was a thriving Catholic hospital with many sisters in their religious habits.
But as religious orders turn away from the 2000 year old teaching and practices of the Catholic Church, they die. No more vocations. Only old feminist sisters left.
