We were told this what happened.

For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with the Point.

Recently, the New Yorker profiled a nursing home run by the Little Sisters of the Poor.

The piece described in admirable terms the Catholic nun's reputation for treating the elderly with dignity and compassion,

as well as the Little Sisters founder, a French nun known for taking in the homeless personally.

This kind of behavior is not strange for followers of Christ.

What is strange is the New Yorker's about face.

It wasn't that long ago that the magazine covered the Little Sisters,

writing about the nun's lawsuit against the federal government's Obamacare mandate,

which would have forced them to pay for contraception and abortion.

The New Yorker called the nuns irrationally passionate.

No word about the little sister's love for the elderly or their courageous founder.

Instead, reporters suggested that they didn't care about women.

In a secular society, Christ's followers will sometimes be loved,

and sometimes subjected to baseless accusations.

That's okay. We were told that would happen.

Our job is to keep loving our neighbors

and never compromise our convictions.

I'm John Stone Street.
