Nancy Pelosi urges S.F. archbishop to exit marriage march

[Mrs. Don-o]

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi took the lead this week in a high-profile lobbying effort to pressure San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone not to attend the controversial March for Marriage event, which she characterized as "venom masquerading as virtue."

Pelosi, who is one of the country's most powerful Catholic politicians, made a passionate appeal to the archbishop not to participate in the National Organization for Marriage's June 19 march on the Supreme Court in Washington.

Cordileone, who is one of the featured speakers at the event, was a leader in the campaign for Proposition 8, the 2008 California anti-gay-marriage initiative.

Last week, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, along with a host of Bay Area religious leaders, sent a joint letter to Cordileone protesting his plans to attend the march.

Cordileone has nevertheless become a national leader in the religious movement against gay marriage. He heads the Subcommittee for the Promotion and Defense of Marriage for the politically powerful U.S. Conference of Bishops and was instrumental in raising $1.5 million to get Prop. 8, which banned same-sex marriage, on the California ballot in 2008.

The measure has since been ruled unconstitutional.

But Cordileone has remained outspoken in his opposition to gay marriage, saying, "The ultimate attack of the evil one is the attack on marriage."

Cordileone has publicly defended next week's March for Marriage as "an important means to promote and defend marriage for the good of our culture, to pray for our federal and state governments, and to stand in solidarity with people of good will."

In a letter defending the event, he said, "This is a critical time for marriage in our country, as marriage amendments are being struck down by federal courts and appeals of these decisions are being made."

The author doesn’t seem to understand that Ms. Pelosi is Catholic in name only.

“The Vatican has finally had enough of U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi illogically insisting she’s a “good Catholic” while consistently supporting unrestricted abortion.

Burke ivThe Vatican’s chief justice, Cardinal Raymond Burke, said the California Democrat should no longer receive the sacrament of Holy Communion, according to CNS News.”

time for that nasty cow to exit the church...

[Texan5]

I wish the Archbishop would just publicly excommunicate Nancy Pelosi, and I’m sure many other Catholics do, too- her hypocrisy is breathtaking...

[irishjuggler]

Invoking the words of Pope Francis with regard to gays and lesbians, she wrote, "If someone is gay and is searching for the Lord and has good will, then who am I to judge him?"

I often wonder if Pope Francis has any idea how much damage he did with that comment, and, if so, whether he feels any remorse for it.

Gender bending-faggot loving, baby killing Pelosi ... Pure evil.

[Mastador1]

Obviously he should do pelooni says, after all she is the expert on the Catholic faith.

But Cordileone has remained outspoken in his opposition to gay marriage, saying, “The ultimate attack of the evil one is the attack on marriage.”

May God bless and keep this bishop.

I agree-even so, I didn’t read anything in the Pope’s statement about same sex marriage even being possible, much less approved. The church taught me that marriage can only be a man and a woman, and I don’t see the Pope saying that has changed, no matter what idiots like Pelosi want to believe...

[Salman]

What of separation of church and state?

"venom masquerading as virtue"

I propose this as the new slogan of the Democrat Party.

[abclily]

Nancy Pelosi does not want a march for traditional marriage, because that is a Christian tradition. Pelosi’s boss in the WH is an Islamist. She takes her marching orders from a Satan-worshipping muslim.

[Vinylly]

The Archbishop does not need any damn politician inferring with his Godly business.

[Sooth2222]

She needs to be referred to the Vatican and tried for heresy, found guilty, and burned at the stake.

Understood. Sorry.

How this woman can call herself a Catholic is simply beyond any credibility.

That's the beauty of free will. She can call herself whatever she wants. She can call good evil and evil good. We've been doing it ever since Genesis 3:5. Of course, she's exceptionally skilled. Unfortunately for her, she doesn't have many years left on this earth before she stands before the Judgement Seat.

“Pelosi, who is one of the country's most powerful Catholic politicians”

Pelosi is NOT a Catholic. She is a sick, power hungry liar and corrupt politician. The failure of the Catholic hierarchy to stand up to evil people like Pelosi has been a great embarrassment to sincere, faithful Catholics. Now Pelosi has seen the hierarchy is afraid to stand up for their beliefs she feels she can order them around.

[jjotto]

She certainly makes a mockery of the Catholic church - why don't they banish her from the church?

She's hardly any worse than the USCCB. If only there were some leader in the Catholic Church authorized to do something about these kind of people!

Pelosi is Hillary’s Chief Capo.

Hillary indicates a new level of self-abasement.

Pelosi then enacts it.

Feminists, Soccer Moms and the rest of Hillary’s Army then imitate Pelosi.

While washing down antidepressants with gallons of wine and avoiding mirrors.

Hilar’s grand scheme is to make liberal women violate their own conscinces so profoundly, and commit such filthy, heinous and cruel acts, so many times, that they become convinced they can never be forgiven, an that Hillary is the only one who can or will protect them - for their loyalty.

Foolish women. Hillary is disgusted with you and laughs at you behind your backs. You know, the way she’s taught you to act? That’s why she obesseses over loyalty so much - because she’s betrayed every one of you. She’s stolen your femininity - reaped it right out out you, and thrown it down the toilet. She doesn’t even want it herself. She just doesn’t want you to have it, because without it, she owns you. And that’s why she wants you to hate men, too - because they’re the one’s who would have cherished and protected that feminiity she taught you to revile.

Foolish, foolish women.
