Terry Mattingly takes a look.<\/a><\/p>\n

It was also interesting to note that there few follow-ups on other interesting religion-news angles in the big story of the day. The Chicago Tribune advance story, for example, had featured an eye-opener of a lead by “special contributor” Gail Schmoller Philbin. It noted that, “Sister Donna Quinn, a Palos Hills resident, attended the last two and is flying to this one with four other nuns.”<\/p>\n

This would appear to explain the quiet presence of a “Nuns for Choice” sign in a single story in the Hartford Courant, but there were no additional details. Personally, if I was covering a pro-abortion-rights march and saw a sign that said “Nuns for Choice,” that would raise a few questions that I would want to chase. Sister Quinn and the Nuns for Choice also make a brief walk-on appearance in coverage at the Ms. Magazine blog, but we learn nothing about them. These nuns be the only progressive Catholics on the planet who do not have a website, or at least one that I can find.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
