Excerpt: The penalties (see ECCLESIASTICAL CENSURES) latae sententiae are: (1) Excommunication specially reserved to the Roman pontiff, which is incurred by all apostates from the Catholic Faith, by each and all heretics, by whatever name they are known and to whatever sect they belong, and by all who believe in them ( credentes), receive, favour, or in any way defend them (Constitution "Apostolicae Sedis", 1869). ... See More Excerpt2: The guiding principles in the Church's treatment of heretics are the following: Distinguishing between formal and material heretics, she applies to the former the canon, "Most firmly hold and in no way doubt that every heretic or schismatic is to have part with the Devil and his angels in the flames of eternal fire, unless before the end of his life he be incorporated with, and restored to the Catholic Church."

Who’s the bigger you-know-what; Pelosi or (shudder) Clift?
*Free will* is not a phrase that comes to mind when discussing any Democrat. Most especially Nancy Pelosi.
Nancy’s “free will” edict should/must be sent to her Bishop and The Pope. Her arrogance and utter disregard for human life is contemptible.
I’m sure the Roman Catholic Church will duly note Pope Nancy’s proclamations....
The silence of the church is Deafening. The Bishops were spineless, they should have performed the excommunication right there during the interview. Now THAT would be good TV.
Libs are real big on “free will” when it comes to doing what they want, when they want to do it. They’re just not big fans of the rest of the equation that deals with the consequences of using your free will poorly.
They did not for any Kennedy, they will NOT for her either. Speaks volumes for the RC church.
What???? I’m sure Pelosi would be thrilled if someone exercised their free will by robbing her at gunpoint.
Geesh.
Ms. Pelosi has freely chosen to do that which is manifestly evil. In choosing to destroy other human beings she aligns herself with others of this world such as Hilter, Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin, et. al, and the author of evil, Lucifer.
I hope Ms. Pelosi comes to her senses and repents. If that does not happen, I hope she realize the smell in Hell is not one of barbecue, though there is an eternal barbecue there.
Well Nan, I should have the “free will” to refuse to pay for abortions via my tax dollars.
I can assure you Pelosi is no longer Catholic, by her own hand she has left the ark. She can call out for help but unless she does, she will be lost.
Look at all of them, Kerry, Kennedy, Biden, they make me want to puke!
By Pelosi’s reasoning, then, no Biblical prohibition is binding. You covet your neighbor’s cash, wife, etc.? Steal it. “Free will”!
aren’t all murders a triumph of “free will” over moral teachings?
They will try to recover her before excommunication. This has just become very serious business.
I would love to sit in on the conversation between Pelosi and The Almighty when the time comes for her to explain her actions here on Earth.
Pelosi is willingly ignorant of Christian teachings.
