(RNS) This time it’s the Catholic sisters versus the Koch brothers.

That’s one way to look at the upcoming “Nuns on the Bus” tour, which hits the road next week (Sept. 17) for the third time in three years, a monthlong trip though 10 key U.S. Senate battleground states to campaign against the influence of outside money on politics.

The issue has come to be identified with the wealthy industrialist brothers Charles and David Koch, whose huge contributions to conservative political causes have raised concerns about the role of “dark money” on elections.

1. Sister Simone Campbell was on C-Span this weekend.

So refreshing, because she doesn't emit anger, but has a positive outlook on the problems society faces.
Very uplifting in a human sort of way.

about Catholic social doctrine.
