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.
The following is not one of my usual anti-Catholic bloviations.
Regardless of what Pelosi "really" is, she is officially Catholic. She regularly receives communion, which implies she is a "Catholic in good standing" as well as free of all "mortal sin."
Not just obnoxious anti-Catholics like myself, but all decent people, including those friendly to the Catholic Church would really love to see some form of discipline visited on Pelosi and people like her. Considering that the Catholic Church as recently as the Sixties excommunicated segregationists in Louisiana, there is simply no good reason for this. One may speak of how "the Church thinks in centuries" but in the past someone with Pelosi's beliefs would never even have come into existence under the Catholic Church.
She and her fellows have not been excommunicated, not because the Church thinks in centuries, but because of radicalism and subversion in the highest reaches of the Catholic Church.
Is much of the Catholic heirarchy even Catholic?
