Are We A Test?

I am not a very religious person, it is not that I am anti-religion but rather I believe it is more important in how you live your life and treat others that is important. So what I read this,

Nuns at Westchester nursing home say trans rules violate their religious rights

A Catholic nursing home in Westchester County is suing New York state, arguing that rules meant to protect transgender people in its care violate the religious freedom of the nurses who run it.

The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, who operate Rosary Hill Home, filed the lawsuit against Gov. Kathy Hochul and the state health department this month. They're challenging a mandate that long-term care facilities in New York give patients access to facilities — like bathrooms and hospital beds — that align with their gender identities rather than their sexes assigned at birth.

Staff at these long-term care facilities are also required to undergo cultural competency training under legislation Hochul signed into law three years ago. The lawsuit refers to that training as indoctrination, and further objects to rules that staff members use patients preferred pronouns, or "accommodate patients’ desire for extramarital relations.”

“The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne and Rosary Hill Home operate in accordance with the ethical and religious directives and the teachings of the Catholic Church,” states the suit by the nursing facility, which provides pro bono care to patients with cancer. “They cannot comply with the mandate without violating these sincerely held religious beliefs.”

Yeah, yeah, I get the “religious freedom” stuff but when I was growing up I went to the Catholic Confraternity of Christian Doctrine classes, I don’t remember much but what I do remember is this… that one of the two greatest commandments is “Love your neighbor as yourself”

So I just can’t get my head around that these nuns seem to have forgotten that.

I wonder if those nuns thought that this might be a test?
