Pelosi: Pope Francis ‘Starting to Sound Like a Nun’
CNSNews ^ | 9/23/13 | Michael W. Chapman

(CNSNews.com) – Pope Francis is “starting to sound like a nun,” said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a Catholic, when asked about some of the Pope’s recent remarks concerning issues such as abortion and homosexuality.

In a Sept. 22 interview on CNN’s Situation Room, host Candy Crolwey asked Pelosi, “Before we go, Pope Francis is calling for a new balance between the chruch’s spiritual and political missions. He says the Catholic Church should not interfere spiritually in the lives of gays. He also called for a larger decision-making role for Catholic women. We ask Nancy Pelosi , one of the nation’s most prominent Catholics, for her reaction.”

Pelosi said, “Starting to sound like a nun. The Pope is starting to sound like the nuns.”

“Now, his Holiness is obviously a very revered figure,” said Pelosi. “I was there for his inauguration. And I being Catholic believed that he was chosen Pope by the intercession of the Holy Spirit, so I pay attention to what he says. 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.” -

This is such a bald faced lie. When did he say that?

He didn't, of course. Candi's probably reading what some staffer put in front of her, who in turn probably read something on the Huffington Post.

Anyways, Nancy appears to have lost her last marble.

Remember this is Candy Crowley we’re talking about. She probably got it directly from Pelosi before the interview.

Which nuns? The ones who have gray hair (so do I == so nothing against gray hair) and are dissenting from church teaching?

Even if somebody handed that to Candi, she’s an idiot for reading it aloud. What in blazes does it mean to “interfere spiritually in the lives of gays”???

I’d say that Nancy is starting to sound as if she has severe dementia, but she’s sounded like this as long as I can remember. May God grant her the grace of repentance before it’s too late.

I think everyone as pro-abortion as Nancy doesn't make sense; she's not the only one, she's just high profile, so she's more covered by the press... There's many like Nancy prowling about...

“.....there are any number of people in high positions of power and wealth that have purposely and intentionally aligned themselves with evil.”...

Especially in Washington and most definitely those currently in the White House.

He says the Catholic Church should not interfere spiritually in the lives of gays.

What a remarkably stupid statement. But it's Pelosi so I expect stupid statements.

He already did, at his inaugural mass. He knew that she and Biden were slinking around and that they would just sidle up to the rail and steal it. And they did!

Congratulations Francis. Your first official action.
