Pelosi’s Pontifications

Asked for her opinion on the Pope’s recent remarks concerning issues such as abortion and homosexuality, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was quite cheery; “the Pope is starting to sound like the nuns […] ~

“And I can tell you that there is great joy among Catholics and friends of Catholics as to respect that his Holiness pays to all of God’s creation and members of the church and then beyond that. It’s really quite remarkable. It’s a source of joy to us all.”

 
Call me sacrilegious but if Pelosi is suddenly thrilled with a papal proclamation, it might be time for the Vatican to rethink their messaging.
 
Pretending that God doesn’t care whether we obey the laws He’s established (for our own good, by the way) doesn’t accomplish anything beyond promoting a progressive agenda.
 
 
Pelosi is by no means the first to employ this strategy; it’s actually one of the oldest tricks in the book. Satan has been misinterpreting scripture to suit his own purposes for millennia.
 
But then, freelancing Catholic theology to fit her progressive ideology is nothing new for Nancy either. Remember a few years back when she was pretending that the Church was fuzzy on whether or not life begins at conception? ~

“I would say that as an ardent, practicing Catholic, this is an issue that I have studied for a long time. And what I know is, over the centuries, the doctors of the church have not been able to make that definition.”

 
Many Catholics are not particularly enamored with Pelosi playing fast and loose with their faith. She may actually be denied communion if the Vatican Chief Justice get his way ~

Because of her longstanding support for abortion, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a Catholic, must be denied Communion under the law of the Catholic Church, said Cardinal Raymond Burke, head of the highest court at the Vatican […]
 
“This is a person who obstinately, after repeated admonitions, persists in a grave sin–cooperating with the crime of procured abortion–and still professes to be a devout Catholic.”

 
Cardinal Burke sums up Nancy Pelosi’s brand of pseudo-Catholicism quite well ~

“This is a prime example of what Blessed John Paul II referred to as the situation of Catholics who have divorced their faith from their public life and therefore are not serving their brothers and sisters in the way that they must–in safeguarding and promoting the life of the innocent and defenseless unborn, in safeguarding and promoting the integrity of marriage and the family.”
