Shorter Madonna House: "As a symbol of protest over the recent Order of Canada award to Dr. Henry Morgentaler, we of Madonna House would like to show our disappointment by getting in the paper, being the subject of shitloads of journalistic coverage and, as much as possible, demonstrate our profound Catholic humility by being shameless, slutty news whores. Oh, and you can have this snowflake thingy back, too."
AFTERSNARK: One wonders if those selfless ladies are going to follow up their renunciation of that award with a thorough cleansing of their web sites to remove all traces of it like, well, this:
Catherine’s Medals and Awards
St. George Medal, for bravery on the Russian Front
St. Anne Medal, for continuing in the line of duty under attack
Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice Papal Decoration Medal, awarded by Pope John XXIII
Insignia of the Holy Cross, awarded by Pope John XXIII for “exceptional and outstanding work for the Church and for the Pope,” 1960
Member of the Order of Canada, “for a lifetime of devoted services to the underprivileged of many nationalities, both in Canada and abroad,” 1976
...
Come on, ladies ... giving it back doesn't count if you get to keep bragging about it.

Hey! Great minds think alike!
Read their foundress's bio: Catherine de Hueck Doherty
I think she would be turning over in her grave at these shenadigans. Just imagine, a lifetime of devoted service, a campaign now on for canonization, and the place she founded is simply using her for their own petty political statements and fundraising.
She founded "Friendship House" first, then parted ways due to the "scandal" over her marriage. It seems the small minded managed to migrate from the old Friendship House to Madonna House.
Will Madonna House be claiming as a charitable expense, the junket to Ottawa for Sr. Stubbs and four others?
Could they not have mailed it back? There can be only one reason for appearing in person to return it.
Why did they not return the OC because of the presence of these recipients?
Why was it OK for these hypocrites to have the same award as was given to soldiers? Soldiers are people whose job it is to kill people. People who breathe, speak, eat food and have bodily function. People who know they are alive before they are killed. All things that fetuses do not do.
