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."

""venom masquerading as virtue"

Nancy's projecting again.

Nancy Pelosi is the very definition of a monster. She has the head of a doll, the body of a 74-year-old senior citizen in a $3,000 Armani suit, and the brain of a dementia sufferer

...please don’t hold back...tell us how you really feel...

Seriously, Pelosi needs to be formally excommunicated.

While the Vatican does not want to excommunicate anymore, there are rare instances when someone who calls themselves a Catholic commits acts that are so horrific and anti-Catholic that they demand to be stripped of that association.

Just by herself, she is responsible for the death of millions of infants here and abroad. The most harmless and beloved of people, sacrificed to her real god, Moloch.

And yet she calls herself a Catholic.

What worse thing could she do? What is so abominable that the church will finally act? Does she have to publicly embrace Satan? Would that be enough?

Would it? Or would they just use the excuse that she had self excommunicated?

[Salvation]

Archbishop Cordileone is obviously doing something right or everyone would not be trying to disinvite him.

Go Archbishop Cordeleone (Heart of the Lion)!!

 

[Salvation]

Or the Sacrament of Matrimony.

[Mike Darancette]

Yes

[piusv]

Is much of the Catholic heirarchy even Catholic?

[Heart-Rest]

"If the FDA had banned Botox a few decades ago, Nancy Pelosi would now look like what she really is — a cross between the Wicked Witch of the West and an 80-year-old prune.

People would no longer listen to her evil hate-crime attacks against the Catholic Church and its sacred institutions if her face had not been expertly hidden under a cosmetically doctored Barbie Doll mask to give her some credibility.

Nancy Pelosi is the very definition of a monster. She has the head of a doll, the body of a 74-year-old senior citizen in a $3,000 Armani suit, and the brain of a dementia sufferer who thinks an Archbishop of the Catholic Church would listen to her ravings instead of to God or his own conscience."

“venom masquerading as virtue”

...could be the motto of the Democratic Party.

But seriously, I think Archbishop Cordileone would join me in urging Nancy to retake her religious-ed classes.

Canon Law says that anyone who supports abortion is guilty of heresy and automatically excommunicated. It doesn’t need a higher power like a bishop, etc. In many situations, the sinner receives a letter acknowledging the excommunication and tells the sinner what to do to return to a state of grace.
I imagine Cardinal Burke has sent such a letter.

[SumProVita]

The Bishops, Cardinals and Pope apparently believe otherwise.

Is that an assumption on your part? You might want to read Canon Law.

[ebb tide]

Canon law is useless if not exercised by the Bishops, Cardinals, and Pope.

Now, if you’re going to tell me that everyone knows Pelosi is “latae” excommunicated; tell me why priests, bishops and cardinals continue to allow her to receive Holy Communion. According to canon law, those prelates are also committing a mortal sin.

Explain that, please, Mr. Canon Lawyer.

[SumProVita]

I am not a Mister...and even ebb tide should know the answer to that question.

[ebb tide]

And I addressed your question with facts. I’m sorry you don’t seem to believe them.

Not one Catholic prelate has refused Holy Communion to Pelosi.
