Beyond belief.

We don't always agree -- on life and education issues especially -- but my experience has been that you can always talk to her

She is a heretic. She need to be called to task on this.

[RexBeach]

Drinan is a socialist. Pelosi is NOT Catholic. If she were, she would be against abortion, not a stalwart supporter of it.

[samtheman]

"You can't always change her mind, but you can always talk to her."

Right. She'll BS anybody, but she'll always end up making that Left Choice, no matter who she "talked to".

[Gay State Conservative]

Growing up in Baltimore's Little Italy, Pelosi attended Catholic elementary and high schools...

Chalk up one failure for the Sisters of Mercy.

[frogjerk]

"I think she gets half of Catholic social teaching,"

Pelosi is a cafeteria Catholic at its worst.

[Pyro7480]

Catholics-in-name-only may celebrate, but not this Catholic!!

[MSSC6644]

This is one Catholic who is NOT celebrating.

[Gay State Conservative]

Drinan is a socialist...

No he's not...he's a Communist.I lived in his district when he was in the House.

[unkus]

Some Alley cat in San Francisco is more Catholic than Pelosi.

[Past Your Eyes]

I can't believe the old fool is still alive. Hadn't thought of his name in years.

[pgkdan]

This Catholic's not celebrating! It figures they'd have to dredge up an old commie like Drinan to celebrate a Mass for her. I'm very sory to hear that she's a Trinity alum. I'm a CUA alum and spent alot of time at Trinity!

[irishjuggler]

Make that two.

[PISANO]

She is a CINO! [Catholic in Name Only]

There aren't five practicing Catholic Italian women in the world who believe in ABORTION!!

[wastedyears]

They showed Pelosi mercy from the beatings. They should've given them to her.

[jmax]

"....... noted that she's the first mother in the seat."

Wrong.......I think it was Merle Haggard who had a line in a song, where he said "There's TWO kinds of mothers, you know".

[pgkdan]

Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick, retired archbishop of Washington, said he has known Pelosi in his role as a member of the bishops' Committee on International Policy since she first came to Washington. He said he's always found her to be "a very thoughtful and committed defender of human rights."

Human rights for all except the most vulnerable and the weakest. Her support for abortion on demand trumps any good she does. She has excommunicated herself and the bishops need to call her on it!

[upchuck]

Bella is a CINO, pure and simple.

Shame, shame, shame on the Catholic Church for celebrating this far left wing shrew as if she's Queen of the US.

How does the Catholic Church justify supporting people who are very pro-abortion?

[SuziQ]

What's amazing is that the MSM is all for Catholics, when they're liberal Democrats. A few months ago, that same MSM was wringing their hands in dismay that ANOTHER Catholic was going to sit on the Supreme Court. Why? Because that Catholic was a faithful, conservative Catholic.

As far as the headline is concerned THIS Catholic wouldn't have voted for her had I lived in her district. I live in MA, and I've never voted for Teddy the Swimmer or John Effin Kerry, for the same reason I wouldn't support Bela Pelosi. I'm not celebrating her being Speaker in any way, shape or form!
