(CNSNews.com) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a Catholic, publicly stated earlier this year that she had a duty to pursue policies in keeping with the values of Jesus Christ, the Word made Flesh. But at a press briefing last week, when reminded of this statement, Pelosi declined to say when Jesus got the right to life.
Whenever it was, said Pelosi, we bow our heads when we talk about it in church, and thats where Id like to talk about that.
Later, when asked in writing through her press secretary whether the speaker believed Jesus had a right to life from the moment of conception, the press secretary responded: The speaker answered the question. Thanks.
Pelosi, who favors legalized abortion, voted against the ban on partial-birth abortion that was enacted in 2003.
On May 6 of this year, at a Catholic Community Conference on Capitol Hill, Pelosi said: They ask me all the time, What is your favorite this? What is your favorite that? What is your favorite that? And one time, What is your favorite word? And I said, My favorite word? That is really easy. My favorite word is the Word, is the Word. And that is everything. It says it all for us. And you know the biblical reference, you know the Gospel reference of the Word.
And that Word," Pelosi said, "is, we have to give voice to what that means in terms of public policy that would be in keeping with the values of the Word. The Word. Isnt it a beautiful word when you think of it? It just covers everything. The Word.
Fill it in with anything you want, she said. But, of course, we know it means: The Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us. And thats the great mystery of our faith. He will come again. He will come again. So, we have to make sure were prepared to answer in this life, or otherwise, as to how we have measured up.
In the New Testament, John 1:14 states, And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw His glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth.
The Apostles Creed says: He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
At her July 29 press briefing, CNSNews.com asked Speaker Pelosi: You said at a recent Catholic Community Conference that your favorite word was The Word, as in the word made flesh, and that we need to quote, give voice to what that means in terms of public policy that would be in keeping with the Word. So, when was the Word made flesh? Was it at the Annunciation, when Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy Sprit, as the Creed says, or was it at the Nativity when he was born of the Virgin Mary? And when did the Word get the right to life?
Speaker Pelosi responded: Whenever it was, we bow our heads when we talk about it in church, and thats where Id like to talk about that.
CNSNews.com then sent an e-mail to the speakers press secretary, Nadeam Elshami, seeking to clarify the speakers answer. The e-mail said:
Speaker Pelosi said at a Catholic Community Conference that her favorite word was the Word as in the Word made flesh and that we need to [give] voice to what that means in terms of public policy. Wed like to clarify the speakers position on this: Did Jesus have the right to life from the moment of conception?
In an e-mailed response, the press secretary wrote: The speaker answered the question. Thanks.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church discusses Christs divinity from His conception. It states, Christ's humanity has no other subject than the divine person of the Son of God, who assumed it and made it his own, from his conception. (466)
The Catechism also states, From its conception, the child has the right to life. (2322)
Calling Fr. Euteneuer, calling Fr. Euteneuer ...
Every knee shall bow to the LORD Jesus. Either as LORD or Judge (Psalms 110:6 ...He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries....).
By mocking God and HIS Word (Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live...), Ms. Pelosi apparently will be bowing to the Judge...
She might be able to run, but she won't be able to hide...
Revelation 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Revelation 6:15-17 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Prayers that Ms. Pelosi, and her ilk, will turn before its too late.
Pelosi is such a pig.
Jeremiah 1 Vs 4 & 5: (KJV)
4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Kinda says when life begins.
Yup - God is the Creator and the Author of life.
Psalms 100:3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture...
But Man makes himself 'god' - and pretends that he is the arbiter of life.
Good call... ;^)
