Pelosi: Why doesn’t Catholic Church punish death penalty supporters? [Barf Alert]
The Hill ^ | 5/24/22 | Mike Lillis

Posted on 05/24/2022 7:29:34 AM PDT by markomalley

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday went after the Catholic Church for what she characterized as its hypocritical position when it comes to the politics of life and death.

Pelosi, a practicing Catholic, was recently barred by the archbishop of San Francisco from taking communion for her support of abortion rights, which the church considers to be homicide at all stages from conception to birth.

Appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program on Tuesday morning, Pelosi wondered why the archbishop, Salvatore Cordileone, hasn’t applied the same ban to Catholics who support capital punishment.

This article is full of so many errors that I don't know where to start. Not only errors from Stretch, but from the article's author.

Wow. Equating the execution of a convicted murderer to the deliberate dismembering of an innocent baby.

There is no circle of Hell terrible enough to hold her.

Here Nancy, it’s from “your” church and you may not be that familiar.

3. Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. For example, if a Catholic were to be at odds with the Holy Father on the application of capital punishment or on the decision to wage war, he would not for that reason be considered unworthy to present himself to receive Holy Communion. While the Church exhorts civil authorities to seek peace, not war, and to exercise discretion and mercy in imposing punishment on criminals, it may still be permissible to take up arms to repel an aggressor or to have recourse to capital punishment. There may be a legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not however with regard to abortion and euthanasia.

With her senility on full display, Nan thinks her personal Crime Family should take on the Catholic Church?

Good luck with that, LOL!

P.S. Keep pokin’ the bear, Nan! Can’t wait to see how this one ends...

Execution of a murderer- who was given a trial by a jury of their peers, the right to appeal, the right to appeal from clemency.

Its an idiot argument- always was.

Pelosi and the media frauds can spend 60 seconds to look up the Church’s definition of “intrinsic evil” and have their answer.

This blurt demonstrates for sure that her ban from Communion REALLY got to her.

Like the Wicked Witch of the West:

Keeping you from the Eucharist is NOT punishment, Pelosi. Go study your catechism.

They all got the same talking points - compare abortion to the death penalty.

Exactly. As if the execution of the guilty is morally the same as the murder of infants.

But that is classic leftwing ideology: Death for the innocent, mercy for the guilty.

Aborted babies aren’t judged by a jury. GFY NanZi.

I guess I just don’t understand. She obviously has zero Christian principles beyond what she thinks she needs to get elected.

But I agree. It did bother her. Well, she will find out what is what when she checks out and is faced with the truth in her judgement.

For a member of the elite, Nancy is woefully ignorant of so many things that it is just painful.

Would Pelosi admit that the Church’s sanctions against her are valid if they did?
