Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.), who was elected Speaker of the House this afternoon, said in her speech accepting the position that she intends to serve “in the spirit of St. Francis.”
“Let me especially thank my constituents in San Francisco, who have entrusted me to represent them in Congress in the spirit of Saint Francis, our patron saint—whose song of Saint Francis is our anthem: ‘Lord, make me a channel of thy peace’—as we beautifully sang in church this morning,” Pelosi said.

Keep ’em closed. Most likely better for the nation.

Probably attributes the prayer that’s associated with the Saint of Assisi to Mr. Bergoglio at this point too.
I doubt your average San Franciscan would nod in silence if Trump had said the same thing.
She probably feels blessed for saying things like that with a 100 million tucked that for her Godly work.

Oh the joy of a four hour work week.
There is a rather large difference between helping those poor individuals with identity, sexuality and sin issues to overcome those problems than to normalize those problems and cast all towards the pit
