attorney Martin Nussbaum<\/a>. He notes that the state has given one to facilities run by the Church of Christ, Scientist.<\/p>\nRosary Hill Home has 42 beds and the sisters separate men and women by floors. But under the law, if a biological man said he was a woman and demanded to room with females, the nuns would have to oblige. Even over the objections of any women who also lay dying.<\/p>\n

The facility itself has a unique history. It was founded in 1901 by Mother Mary Alphonsa, formerly Rose Hawthorne Lathrop. She was the daughter of \u201cThe Scarlet Letter\u201d author Nathaniel Hawthorne. <\/p>\n
The Sisters do the Lord\u2019s work, providing comfort to the impoverished who are dying of cancer \u2014 and they\u2019ve been doing it compassionately for over 100 years. To now insist that they adopt guidelines contrary to their teachings is not only a violation of their First Amendment rights, it\u2019s pure insanity.<\/p>\n
Take for example, the 57-page curriculum the state requires for workers to use as a guide.<\/p>\n
It seems to be more interested in affirming gender fantasies than the tireless work of administering end-of-life care.<\/p>\n

Caretakers are advised to not make assumptions about a patient\u2019s identity: \u201cAsk open-ended questions to help you better understand how they self-identify.\u201d They are given an example of \u201cAlex,\u201d a \u201cgender nonconforming resident who asks for directions to the restroom. And when a worker shows him the men\u2019s room, \u201cAlex frowns and walks away. That kind of assumption can unintentionally signal it is unsafe for residents to disclose\u201d information about themselves.<\/p>\n

Another section stresses the importance of pronouns and how they help to \u201caffirm\u201d identities. It even urges workers to share their pronouns.<\/p>\n
No, thank you.<\/p>\n
That kind of woke overreach was insulting in a corporate setting, never mind to Catholic nuns and the lay staff singularly devoted to providing comfort and dignity to the dying. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey accompany people on their final journey in life. They are serving the neediest of the needy,\u201d said Nussbaum of the nuns. And they are performing these charitable acts for free. But, as they say, no good deed goes unpunished \u2014\u00a0especially while operating under the thumb of progressive government overlords obsessed with identity politics.<\/p>\n
The nuns at Rosary Hill could face fines, loss of licensing and, ultimately, jail time if they don\u2019t obey New York gender ideology laws that would mean betraying their Catholic teachings and beliefs. Courtesy of Rosary Hill Home<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the State\u2019s Department of Heath said that, while they don\u2019t \u201ccomment on pending or ongoing\u00a0litigation, the NYS Department of Health is committed to following state law, which provides nursing home residents certain rights protecting against discrimination including, but not limited to, gender identity or expression.\u201d\u202f\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Violations can result in fines, loss of licensing and, ultimately, jail time.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe implications are so much greater than whether to utter the words \u2019he\u2019 or \u2019she,\u2019\u201d the nuns\u2019 lawsuit states. \u201cIndeed, to demand that a Catholic deny another\u2019s sex is to require him or her to affirm another religious worldview.\u201d<\/p>\n
And we know adherents of the church of gender ideology are the most zerlous worshippers, unable to accept any kind of dissent.<\/p>\n
