Sister Deirdre Byrne, a surgeon and retired Army colonel who spoke at the 2020 Republican National 
                                                     Convention, said the ongoing political and cultural conflicts in the United States are not at root “between Republicans and Democrats” but “between the Devil, who is real, and Our Lord.”
“This battle we face is not a battle between Republicans and the  Democrats, itâs not conservatives or liberals, or left versus right,â said Byrne on Apr. 30. âThis is a battle between the Devil, who is real, and Our Lord.â
Byrne, a member of the Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts, is the abbess of her community and she also works at a medical clinic in Washington, D.C. She made her remarks at an international pro-life conference sponsored by Heartbeat International, reported the National Catholic Register.
One of Sister Byrne’s specialties is working with pregnant women who have taken the abortion pill and then changed their mind. The process can be reversed in many cases and the child saved.
In related remarks, Sister Byrne said, âWe have to pray for the president, we have to pray for the [Speaker Nancy Pelosi], we have to pray for all these people, these politicians who are wanting to make the abortion pill over the counter so people will be able to take it like bubble gum or Tylenol.”
Sister Byrne also addressed families, stating, âWe have to be prepared, battle readyâ as âsoldiers for Christ in this dark time, where every day, things seem to be ramping up about things that are against the family and faith.”
