Nancy Pelosi Attacks San Francisco Archbishop Cordileone as Anti-LGBTQ, Anti-Woman
Breitbart ^ | 03/24/2023 | THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.

Posted on 03/24/2023 9:54:56 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi attacked San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone Thursday, calling him an “extreme” opponent of the LGBTQ community.

“How can I say this nicely? There’s just no way. We’ve had very, very negative anti-LGBTQ stuff coming from our archbishop and others,” Ms. Pelosi said during an event at Georgetown University’s Center on Faith and Justice:

Archbishop Cordileone “was responsible for putting on the ballot Proposition 8 because he had all this conservative money that put this on the ballot, something about marriage. I’m not exactly sure what it was, but we got rid of it later,” she continued, in reference to a 2008 ballot measure that sought to amend the California Constitution to define marriage as being between one man and one woman.

Correction. Nancy can say anything she likes since she’s right.

IS her rant because Paul is trolling gay bars for a hookup?

Hard to believe that ANYONE should expect a priest to be pro-gay. That is not the same as saying they should necessarily be protested against as persons with the same basic rights as other Americans....just not upheld as having any “special” rights.

Actually I think the American bishops just came out against trans procedure including puberty blockers on children.

Abp Cordileone has already told her not to present herself for communion in his archdiocese.

“The marriage between one man and one woman is the Foundation of Western Civilization.” - Denis Prager. From his seminal article: “Why Judaism (and then Christianity) Rejected Homosexuality.” Albeit it graphic, the article brings truth to why the LBGT+XYZ, etc, etc “lifestyle” is just plain WRONG! Google the article; worth a read and please pass it on.

This drunken sot has one foot in the grave, and the other on a slippery brown pile in San Francisco, so she'd better start thinking about what she's going to say concerning all her foolish evil words and actions when she meets her Maker.

“...but we got rid of it later,”


As you say, a gay judge ruled Prop 8 unconstitutional. So the voters voted to amend the California constitution. When that was challenged, the democrat governor and democrat AG refused to defend it.

That’s how Nancy ‘got rid of it later’.

The hubris of this woman! She believes (and probably rightly so under this faux pope) that she can change the teachings of the Bible!

Christians are anti-LGBT. How strange.

The fact that all of the Democrats in Congress who “claim” to be catholic are not ex-communicated just shows you the church is lost.

My landlord spends winters in Panama. He says that in almost all government buildings, there are scripture verses and crosses or crucifixes on walls and desks. Police have scripture verses in their cars.

In Sodom Calgary, a bylaw was rwcenrly passed by the local politbureau, er, city council, that prohibits protests within 100 metres of an entrance to a recreation facility or library and anywhere inside those facilities. This was done to prevent any more protests at 'family-friendly drag queen story times'.

Oh, how I long for a conservative, Christian country, like we used to have. Calgary has been swallowed in the shite of secular communism. God help us!

Nancy’s problem is with the teaching of the Catholic Church.

2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.” They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God’s will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord’s Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.

2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.

So he’s actually a Christian and not a Satanist like Nanzi.

Maybe Nancy should start a religion?

Sounds like she had already hit the vodka.

Dems are natural bullies. She knows he is tied to a chair with duct tape on his mouth and eyes by the Church.
Gives Nancy a thrill.

I frequently listened to talks by pro-life Father Frank Pavone who was adamant about speaking the truth against abortions and politicians who were hypocrites. He was removed from the priesthood with recourse to appeal in 2022. He held advisory positions in the Trump campaign, and had to resign them. He had been labeled “a right-wing provocateur.”
