"Practicing Catholic" Nancy Pelosi Calls Late Term Abortion "Sacred Ground"

Pelosi: Late-term abortions 'sacred'

Pelosi falsely claimed two things in her response.

1) Legislation being considered in the House bans abortion past 20 weeks. Pelosi said the legislation would ban all abortions.

2) Pelosi said Gosnell is an isolated case, which isn't true. LiveAction and LifeNews have extensively reported and documented cases of abortionists all over the country who consistently operate in similar ways as Gosnell did.

President of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List Marjorie Dannenfelser released the following statement in response to Pelosi's comments.
 

“As a mother and practicing Catholic, I have a modest proposal for Mrs. Pelosi: that she consider the Church's teaching which says each life is sacred and reject the idea that each abortion is."

Senior Policy Advisor for The Catholic Association Maureen Ferguson has also released a statement in response.

“After witnessing firsthand the atrocious human rights abuses taking place inside America's late-term abortion clinics it is amazing that this did not touch Nancy Pelosi's heart. What we learned from the Gosnell trial and what we understand is going on inside other clinics is not only human rights abuse but it also puts women in harm’s way. The only difference between the Gosnell ‘after-birth’ abortions and legal late-term abortions is the location of the baby at the time of death. And contrary to Pelosi's extreme claim that the Franks bill is ‘disrespectful’ to women, the majority of women are opposed to late-term abortions according to a recent Gallup poll."

You guys are joking right?

She has already been received by the Pope, and she received communion while there.

We would all be better off if Nancy’s mother had practiced what Nancy preaches.

Take a poll to see how the two largest Christian denominations vote for the pro-abortion party and the anti-abortion party.

Catholics vote pro-abortion democrat.

“She has already been received by the Pope, and she received communion while there.”

Yes, and this Pope has said a lot of the right things, but this action above is amazing. She should have been excommunicated long ago.

The Church is running scared when it comes to abortion. If it backs its words with actions it will lose massive membership numbers and money. The Church today is virtually a secular foundation of sorts, with the trappings of a religion.

I’m not talking about the laity, but the leadership structure, which imo is quite misguided and infiltrated by people with an evil agenda.

Almost every institution on the planet suffers from a lack of good leadership and governance currently.

You are correct in that all sinners should be called to repentance and room should be given for the Holy Spirit to do His work in discipline.

Can we assume that multiple clergy and lay people have privately confronted Nancy Pelosi according to Matthew 18:15-17? That is what her Christian family is commanded to do.

When the unrepentant Christian refuses to hear the church’s truth, they are to be treated like a heathen. Nancy Pelosi continues to use her public stage to proclaim and teach contrary to the Church’s doctrine and at the same time calls herself a good Catholic. Doesn’t the Church realize how that appears to the world we are trying to win for Christ? By silent assent to Pelosi’s nonsense, the Church accepts that its teachings are nonsense too.

This world has become nonsensical. You can be a Christian without obeying Christ. Not trying and failing, we all do that. But to loudly proclaim that obedience is not necessary is nonsense.

Kind of like taking an oath to defend and protect the Constitution and then taking every affirmative action and action of omission possible to see it destroyed. Yet people accept that as reality and not the nonsense it is. You can stand in manure and swear its sugar and people just nod and go along.

I would despair. But God is not mocked and He is not moved from His throne. All schemes of man against Him will ultimately fail.

The Sacred Ground Nancy Pelosi is standing on is the entrance to hell.

She is Catholic only because she claims to be.
She has excommunicated herself years ago.

"We're all sinners; keep that in mind... :) "

This is not mere "sin." She is speaking "as a practicing catholic," using her position of political authority to influence others.

This is suborning heresy. As such, I think it's excommunicable.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing sacred about abortion.

The Pope did NOT give them Holy Communion....some other Priest who probably had no idea of who they were, and even if they did know, the Priest has NO idea if they went to Confession and repented!! You can’t take Holy Communion back the next day when you find out they didn’t!!

For your education, Nancy.

The Partial Birth Abortion Procedure

Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby's leg with forceps.

The baby's leg is pulled out into the birth canal.

The abortionist delivers the baby's entire body, except for the head.

The abortionist jams scissors into the baby's skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole...

The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child's brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.

You guys are joking right? She has already been received by the Pope, and she received communion while there.

Then that's the true Catholic Church.

Unless you want to disagree with the Pope and still claim to be Catholic.

I know a lot of those kinds of "Catholics."

The Catholic Church is based on one fundamental principal: The Church tells Catholics what to think about religion, and that includes what they are allowed to think for themselves, and what conclusions they are allowed to come up with.

Yet I know of no more "staunch" Catholics than those who disagree with the Pope, or this or that teaching, all while sneering at Protestants and "pagans" and "heretics."

The Pope accepts Nancy Pelosi in the most profound way possible - by giving her the sacrament of communion. Therefore, Nancy Pelosi is a correct Catholic, according to the Pope.

Period.

So if you disagree with Nancy Pelosi's Catholicism, YOU need to go to confession, and seek correction from a Priest. YOU - not her. SHE is accepted by the Pope, and therefore the matter is closed.

Be a Catholic, or don't be a Catholic, but at least have the moral courage not to be a hypocrite.

This woman is evil, very evil. She knows the truth of what is a late term abortion is. She is using rationalization to serve her purpose. Anybody who can back the killing of babies is a slob. Everyone who backs this practice will pay someday. You cannot kill a baby with impunity. She will pay!

“It is not morally possible for any Catholic to support abortion, euthanasia, fetal stem cell research, human cloning, or same-sex marriage. There are no ways around this, no justifications whatever. Why? For the simple reason that the Church holds these things to be intrinsically evil. They are evil in themselves, and no circumstances or subjective conditions can ever change that.” ~ Father John Corapi

The Pope DID NOT give Pelosi or anyone else communion during his inauguration Mass. If the heretic presented herself for communion, along with a couple of thousand others, one of a hundred or so priests handling out Holy Communion gave it to her, not the Pope himself. She knows damn well she is in direct violation of the Catholic Church stance on abortion, and queer “marriage”. That the Pope would officially send her a letter telling her to stay away from communion is ridiculous. She’s a big girl, and a bigger hypocrite. Like all the other pro-abortion and pro-queer “marriage” crowd that continue to call themselves “Catholic”, they will have to answer to the Lord when their time on this earth is done. And by the way the Catholic Cburch is not the only faith that has it’s share of hypocrites.
