Why are these nuns on the bus?

Interestingly, there seems to be some confusion about the purpose of the "Nuns on the Bus" tour.  Perhaps we can clear that up and continue to serve as advocates for the poor and marginalized in our country.  The "Nuns on the Bus" campaign is, quite simply, a campaign for budget fairness in the United States.  Why should we care about the budget?  Click here to see how the poor will be disproportionately affected and here to see a schedule of the stops.

When this tour is grossly misinterpreted to be a bunch of Sisters railing against church officials, we miss the point that these Sisters agree with the USCCB's assessment of the Federal Budget's impact on the poor and vulnerable.  Click here to read more of the Bishops' thoughts on the moral measure of our nation's budget policy.

Let us continue to pray that those in public office will act morally toward the most vulnerable members of our society.
