Pelosi 'fundamentally wrong' on Catholic teaching

I am really glad that they're not letting this issue drop

I doubt the meeting was set up to allow her to “clarify” her remarks. I suspect it was set up to allow the Bishop to teach her what her faith believes.

Pelosi is engaging in scandal by perpetuating falsehoods about church teachings, and he contends that she needs to be further rebuked.

Yep. It would have happened if any number of other bishops had been in SF. There's a number that aren't afraid to pull that trigger and not just do it, but publish a Bull.

So now Nancy Pelosi is a theologian? Does she compare herself to Martin Luther? Will she post were 99 Thesis to the door of the Vatican? Will she demand that the Church discard sin?

If she's a slow learner they'll send home a note telling her failure to understand could lead to excommunication. Wouldn't that be special?

Nancy couldnt think her way out of a paperbag.
And yet she keeps getting elected.

The Democrat Party Machine and Liberls in generala have distorted and abused Church Doctrine for decades. Its about time the Church held their feet to the fire so to speak...

Nancy couldnt think her way out of a paperbag.

Its called Politics.
It makes otherwise normal people act like butt heads.
There is NOTHING, NOT ONE SINGLE thing that qualifies Barack Obama to be President od anythng let alone the United States of America yet her we are with him being the Demiocrat slected Candidate...

Will she demand that the Church discard sin?

It sure sounds like she is doing that already...

Pelosi is fundamentally wrong on everything. Some individuals hide when brains are passed out and Pelosi was on a smoking break when this process happened.

The bishops are speaking out and I predict there will be more to add to this list from American Papist next week.

Notes:

Previous #23 has been removed. Bishop Joseph Gossman of Raleigh, NC is actually the bishop emeritus, and the new bishop, Michael Burbidge has not, to my knowledge, made a personal statement.
Previous #16 has also been removed, it was an erroneous duplication of current #13.
#26 was added September 10th, although he published his column September 6th

Even if a boter supports abortion by voting for an abortion supporting candidate (mostly dimocrats) then he/she is also excommunicated.

A trip to the Sacrament of Reconcilation will be required before they can then receive Communion again.

**Even if a boter**

Maybe that should be the new name for ‘voter’ LOL!

Pelosi an other Catholic Democrats don't care.

It's all about COVETING money from others. Coveting and redistributing is AGAINST Christianity too but NO ISSUE is made of that. It's CLEAR that money trumps what is RIGHT.

Here's the transcript of that part of Pelosi's interview.

She says the Church has only adopted the "moment of conception" standard for life in the past 50 years or so. According to this 1907 article in Catholic Encyclopedia, that's not true.

But she won't be denied communion or even chastized by the Church. She'll say she "misspoke," offer "clarification" and go right on to her next lie. Just like Jon Carry.

Does anyone really think that Peloski cares what the Catholic Church thinks? I do not.

Here's video of Pelosi making her statement, along with some withering commentary from her fellow Catholics.

A couple weeks ago, our parish priest took Nancy to the woodshed and I learned a little history. In my opinion well worth the read :-)
Too bad most of the bishops are too PC to say the uncomfortable.

“Unfortunately, or providentially, their hands were forced. They had to react to the public remarks made by a Catholic Politician,Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, as she publicly defended abortion on “Meet the Press” last
Sunday. She argued “over the history of the church, this is an issue of controversy.” and disingenuously sought to defend herself by twisting the teaching of the greatest theologian in the history of the Church, St.
Augustine. For the record, and summarizing the bishops’ responses: this is a load of bunk.”

The second link is by a lawyer (no less) supporting the sermon.

“It took a simple parish priest, however, to say it most eloquently. This weekend, Fr. John De Celles, an associate pastor at Old St. Mary’s Church in Alexandria, Va., delivered a homily squarely confronting Pelosi and her
thinking, but put the debate an interesting historical context.”
