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.
“We enter this new Congress with a sense of great hope and confidence for the future, and deep humility and prayerfulness in the face of the challenges ahead,” she said. […]
“We must fight for the middle class in a way that is fair and fiscally sound—protecting Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. We must also face the existential threat of our time: the climate crisis—a crisis manifested in natural disasters of epic proportions. […] We will make our communities safer and keep our sacred promise to the victims, survivors and families of gun violence by passing commonsense bipartisan background check legislation. We will make America fairer by passing the Equality Act to end discrimination against LGBTQ Americans. And we will make America more American by protecting our patriotic, courageous Dreamers!” …

She’s liable to get struck by lightning.
the patron saint of dumb animals - oh well done Nancy. Sums it right up.
Blasphemy Nancy. You are where you are to be made an example of by the Lord. He shall smite you soon.
“Let me especially thank my constituents in San Francisco, who have entrusted me to represent them in Congress”
The ‘st francis’ she is trying to conjure up must be the satanic version, the patron saint of feces, filth and disease.

Miss Nancy has not embraced poverty.
OMG!! She is Certifiably INSANE!
That's very troublesome for Democrats.
Doesnt Nancy know the Catholic Church is unalterably sexist and has taken a number of extreme positions
WRT a woman's right to choose? Something Nancy rigorously supports.
The Catholic Church also opposes a right Nancy considers precious----same-sex marriage.
Democrats have imposed a religious litmus test on any number of candidates including judicial nominees.
Shouldnt they impose a religious test on Nancy.....the Democrat who wants to lead the House?
Wait just a minute. Does that mean that Catholic doctrine lives large in her? Some one contact Kamela Harris.
Actually, she’ll be serving “in the spirit of Robert Mueller.”
Their hope will be to get rid of Trump, and Pence, thereby leaving HER as POTUS.
Hide and watch!
Is your support for child sacrifice in the form of abortion "in the spirit of St. Francis"?
The Goddess of Gomorrah has found religion!
Dementia is such an ugly thing to se played out on the national stage...
Proof that Pelosi is unfit to be Speaker.
What she really meant was POPE Francis.
They are very much alike and as a Catholic it pains me to see both of them embracing evil.
I’m a Catholic, and yes, it’s blasphemous!
She’s disgusting. The Pope will probably have her over for tea though. You know, my Pope the climatologist.
I guarantee St. Francis would not have embraced abortion and same sex marriage as sacraments, which they are to Nancy and the Dem Party.
Not the first crime boss to “identify as Catholic.
“Oh, St. Gosnell of the Abortion and St. Kervorkian of Euthanasia....”
Yeah, and she probably wants to tap St. Francis for PETA’s sake.
