“Archbishop Wuerl’s spinal cord rating has just soared...”
That struck me, too. It was Wuerl who, in the face of protests from Catholic pro-life groups, allowed Pelosi to put on a big show by holding a special Mass to celebrate her becoming the first woman Speaker.
I’ve seen three bishops (Denver, DC, NY) come out with statements contradicting Pelosi’s MTP comments. She and her staff seem not to know when to quit. This is getting series and is taking its toll.
At least she has exposed the thin thread to which pro-abortion Catholics cling to justify their positions. Good ole St. Augustine. I’m not sure how his philosophizing contradicts the teaching of the church going back two millennia. It’s a mighty thin reed.
If she were denied Communion, would that bar from the other sacraments as well? Or, would she have to be fully excommunicated in a more formal way? For instance, denied the last rites, Cathlic burial, etc?
This situation has her off balance. Way off balance. Last night she asked “Drill Here, Drill Now” protesters outside the DNC convention if she could drill their brains. Without this pressure from the Church, it’s not likely a statement she’d have made. Or maybe Cindy Sheehan is gaining in the polls back in SF.
