The press office made clear that the Pope will meet with Pelosi in his capacity as a head of state since the Speaker of the House is the third in line to lead the U.S., should the president and vice president be unable to do so.
The idea of providing Pelosi with a photo-op has disturbed a significant number of U.S. Catholics and pro-life activists...
Over this past weekend pro-life activists and bloggers launched verbal salvos against the Vatican because they believe that the Holy See plans to present Nancy Pelosi with an award.
This is definitely not true, the Vaticans press office told CNA. The idea that Pelosi would be awarded by the Vatican most likely is the result of activists confusing the visit to the Vatican with the Speaker of the House being awarded by a group of Italian legislators for being the first Italian American to reach such a high rank in the U.S. government.
Perhaps the Pope will reach out to her and through the power of The Resurrection, save her. Like Esther, maybe this is why he is empowered. That being said, I am not a fan of The Pope, only of Christ himself.
You guys believe everything the Vatican tells you??? So that's why your pope is going to go out of his way from his trek to Israel to visit the largest mosque in Jordan??? To save Catholics in Jordan???
? I’m Jewish.
