Good assessment with plenty of links to other blog coverage on today’s failed photo op.
Surprised they didn’t use the trap door trick so that as she approaches the Pope the floor is released and she falls into the Catacombs never to be found again.
Nah, the company there would be too good for that one. V’s wife.
I don’t know. I don’t think that woman has a conscience. The proof will be her actions when she returns. I’m hopeful but...
But not innocent human life? A glaring and calculated omission. And a dishonest one if the Pope mentioned it.
I think it is time for serious Catholics in parishes where the “Catholic” proaborts receive Holy Communion to publicize the fact, not receive in these churches themselves, and urge others not to receive. A poster on a telephone pole will go a long way teaching the faithless priests a lesson.
Gotta love the alliteration in the headline.
She had her ass handed to her. When the Vicar of Christ tells you to straighten up, it would be very wise to do so.
(Note...the other articles included has some 'interesting' info as well)
You mean ... "And a dishonest one since the Pope mentioned it." She was trying to spin her way out of an embarrasing encounter. I have no doubt she considers herself an 'ardent' Catholic; but she is ignorant of the Catholic faith. In her ignorant imaginings she probably expects that some future pope will 'turn things around' and bring the Church into step with modern times.
B16 gave Pelosi a chance to recant, but she didn’t.
Prayers up for her because she has made “other” than Christ her choice. His Holiness doesn’t need to pronounce excommunication because she has done so herself.
With every Eucharistic reception, she sentences herself.
NRO takes a hopeful guess as to what happened...:
Pope: Perhaps this will aid your studies. (The papal secretary hands the Pope a book). Some light reading for your flight home. It is the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which I edited. Do you have a copy?
Pelosi: No. I mean — not one that I have read. (Nervously looking to Rep. George Miller for help) Yes, I have a copy that is still in its cellophane wrapper.
Pope: I have taken the liberty of marking a few passages for you. I believe this section which reads, “Human life must be respected and protected from the moment of conception,” might interest you.

Great article with links. Thanks for posting. Pelosi and the anti-truth propagandists spinning the pope. Priceless!
PIGLOUSY was Destroyed by The Pope and will be saying “Hail Marys!” for Eternity before she gets up the first step out of Hell towards Pergatory let alone making that first step toward Heaven! Looks like She Cooked her Own Goose Well on this Visit!:-)
:o)
You are so correct!
With a maiden name like D'Allesandro, Pelosi is an ardent Catholic in the same way most mafia dons are ardent Catholics.
