Des retours de médailles…

Il y a quelques jours, un prêtre retournait sa médaille de l’Ordre du Canada. Aujourd’hui, la communuaté catholique ontarienne Madonna House retourne elle aussi aussi la médaille de sa fondatrice.

Plusieurs personnes ont voulu et veulent montrer leurs désaccords face à la nomination du Dr Morganteler. Pour plusieurs, cette médaille n’a plus aucun sens.

Voici d’ailleurs une annonce sur CTV.ca

An Ontario Catholic organization is returning the Order of Canada medal given to its founder to protest awarding abortionist Dr. Henry Morgentaler with the same distinction.

Catherine Doherty founded Madonna House in Combermere, Ont. in 1947. She received the order in 1976 and died in 1985.

The community is “dedicated to loving and serving Christ through promises of poverty, chastity and obedience” by offering services ranging from soup kitchens to places of retreat, said a news release issued Monday.

“She exemplified what the Order of Canada should be about: an individual committed to strengthening the nation by her contribution to the vulnerable and the marginalized,” said Fr. David May, a Madonna House director, in the release.

“It is only after much prayer and consultation with our community, as well as with heavy hearts, that we are undertaking this action.”

The group was to gather at Rideau Hall in Ottawa to return the medal.
