The analogy of the beans...Part 1... I am very hungry, and out back is a large field, with a small patch of beans growing in one corner. As I head out my back door, with a basket in my hands, a man from the government comes up and tells me I cannot go in the corner to look for beans ( even though I can see the beans ) but I can look over in a different area. So, basket in hand, I go over to the area the government man said I can look in, but alas, I find no beans. I go to bed hungry. The next day I wake up, grab my basket and head out the door to pick beans. The man from the government stops me again, and tells me to go pick beans in a different spot. I tell the government man there are no beans in that spot, but I can see beans in the back of the field. I then ask if I can go get the beans I can see. I am told no, go pick where I told you to. So, basket in hand, I go where I am told to go and pick beans, but I find none. Once again, I go to bed hungry. The following day, I pick up my basket and my shotgun, when the government man arrives..........

The analogy of the beans, Part 2...I am very hungry, and just down the road is a large patch of beans. I grab my basket and head on out the door to pick some, only to have the government man stop me and say " I know you are hungry, and have no food to eat, but you cannot pick your way out of your hunger". I then punch the government man in the stomach, and go pick me some beans...

Rome, Italy, Feb 18, 2009 / 05:52 pm (CNA).- After her meeting with the Holy Father this morning, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi released a statement highlighting the positive aspects of the meeting but ignoring the Pope's correction of her support for legal abortion. In her statement, Pelosi says:"It is with great joy that my husband, Paul, and I met with His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, today. In our conversation, I had the opportunity to praise the Church's leadership in fighting poverty, hunger, and global warming, as well as the Holy Father's dedication to religious freedom and his upcoming trip and message to Israel. I was proud to show His Holiness a photograph of my family's papal visit in the 1950s, as well as a recent picture of our children and grandchildren. In contrast, the Holy See released a statement regarding the meeting noting that Pope Benedict spoke of the requirements of the natural moral law and also the Church's consistent teaching on the dignity of human life from conception until natural death, which enjoin all Catholics, and especially legislators, jurists, and those responsible for the common good of society, to work in cooperation with all men and women of good will in creating a just system of laws capable of protecting human life at all stages of development. Comparing the two releases, Catholic commentator and author George Weigel responded saying that the statement from the office of Pelosi makes it obvious that there is more to the story: that Pelosi, who shamelessly trumpets her ardent Catholicism while leading congressional Democrats in a continuing assault on what the Catholic Church regards as the inalienable human rights of the unborn, was trying to recruit Benedict XVI to Team Nancy. But Pope Benedict wasn't swayed, Weigel told the National Review Online. During the meeting, the Holy Father told her politely but unmistakably that her pro-abortion support puts her in serious difficulties as a Catholic, which was his obligation as a pastor. Furthermore, Weigel asserts, Pope Benedict was directing his words to other pro-abortion Catholics in the United States: Joe Biden, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Barbara Mikulski, Rose DeLauro, Kathleen Sebelius, and others clarifying to them that the Catholic stance against abortion is not some weird Catholic hocus-pocus it's a first principle of justice than can be known by reason. It is a requirement of the natural moral law says Weigel, that is, the moral truths we can know by thinking about what is right and what is wrong ,to defend the inviolability of innocent human life. You don't have to believe in papal primacy to know that; you don't have do believe in seven sacraments, or the episcopal structure of the Church, or the divinity of Christ, to know that. You don't even have to believe in God to know that. You only have to be a morally serious human being, willing to work through a moral argument which, of course, means being the kind of person who understands that moral truth cannot be reduced to questions of feminist political correctness or partisan political advantage. Though it is apparent that Pelosi is deeply confused about what her church teaches on the morality of abortion, Weigel continues, she has now been informed, and by a world-class intellectual who happens to be the universal pastor of the Catholic Church, that she is, in fact, confused, and that both her spiritual life and her public service are in jeopardy because of that. Weigel adds that even though President Obama is not Catholic, he should understand that he will get the same message if, as expected, he meets with His Holiness later this year.
