Pelosi, Archbishop To Meet Over Abortion Dispute

Fox Reno ^ | 9-6-08

[BusterBear]

She needs to consider the state of her soul and that she will someday be required to account for her actions, as we all must.

Yes, I agree. But I don't think she even realizes she has a problem. I wonder if she will argue with the Archbishop?

[tbpiper]

I wonder if she can find some designer sackcloth?

[utahagen]

This good news. You know that after this meeting, Pelosi will continue to be pro-abortion, be loud-mouthed about it, and receive communion. Then, the bishop will have to either publicly instruct her not to receive communion...or publicly explain why he's not doing that. I love it.

[NoRedTape]

Pelosi is so twisted that I don't even think that a visit with the Archbishop will change her warped thinking.

Here's hoping for a swift excommunication hearing!

Then bring Kerry and Biden in for the same.

[Peelod]

Nancy should consider an Act of Contrition and an Act of Faith (auto de fe).

[Secret Agent Man]

So, not just Madame Pelosi, but Madonna Pelosi as well?

[NonValueAdded]

Uh, Nance, I don’t think “do you know who I am” is gonna work this time. Next stop, ecclesiastical court.

[Emmett McCarthy]

Yeah, screw you, pal. You don’t know sh%t. Keep your bigoted uninforkmed crap to yourself.

[InABunkerUnderSF]

Accordingly, as her pastor, I am writing to invite her into a conversation with me about these matters. It is my obligation to teach forthrightly and to shepherd caringly, and that is my intent.

From The Newsletter of the San Francisco Archdiocese.

That's one "conversation" I'd love to be a fly on the wall for.

[CASchack]

It wouldn’t surprise me if she does try to argue the point and discuss whether Augustine was correct.

[InABunkerUnderSF]

She is that arrogant.

[Just Lori]

...to go beyond our earlier most cordial exchange about immigration and needs of the poor to Church teaching on other significant matters."

She may have finally put her foot in her mouth so far that no surgeon can remove it. This outta be good!

[InABunkerUnderSF]

I consider your statement uncalled for. Hold what faith you choose but please have the good sense not to attack that of others.

I believe it was a Jewish gentleman who said ‘Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all question.

[BusterBear]

It wouldn’t surprise me if she does try to argue the point and discuss whether Augustine was correct.

So then what does the Archbishop do? (I don't know about Catholic doctrine on how these matters are handled.)

[ZULU]

Hope he brings an Exorcist with him - maybe two. He’ll need them.

[JSteff]

“Pelosi wants to run the church too.”

Why, so the Catholic Church's popularity rating can be as low as congress?

[livius]

These matters aren’t open to question or opinion. If she refuses to acknowledge it and amend her behavior, she can be formally excommunicated.

Incidentally, this isn’t just because of her opinions, but because of her actions in voting for pro-abortion measures and also for her public role in promoting abortion and misleading the faithful by claiming it’s ok for a Catholic to do this. Presumably, the bishop would have to ask her to publicly renounce her positions. If she’s a political leader, she’s in a different position from just an average parishioner who needs to be privately counseled.

[CASchack]

He should reiterate the fact that she has been excommunicated and that she must confess and repent in order to be in good standing.

There’s not much more he can do than to try to correct her privately, then publicly if necessary... along the lines of what the Bible instructs.

[InABunkerUnderSF]

I was thinking something more along the lines of a wooden stake.

In the old days the Dominicans would have been involved in the discussion. I miss the old days. :o)
