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.
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)
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!
She obviously has no intent on changing her opinion or beliefs, even though she remains a "Catholic" in name only. What arrogance to stand before the head of the Catholic Church, and - basically - ignore what he had to say to her.
At this point I don't care if she is or is not excommunicated. Her day will come at the Pearly Gates and she will not be able to argue her position with God! And no last minute repentance will give her absolution in His eyes for her votes and support of murdering infants. Her life after death will be one of long suffering but with plenty of company with the Kennedys and Kerrys - and none will get botox!
Is there a short-form excomunication ceremony that can be done in 15 minutes or less? ;)
Isn't that special. She flatly refuses to repent and what does the head of Rome do? Meet with her and lightly chide... "you should protect life, yadda, yadda, yadda" when he knows she is directly involved in the genocide of millions of unborn babies. And then Rome takes the "bold step" of not releasing a photo instead of roundly condeming and excommunicating her on the spot!... I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED I tell you over this decisive action Rome has taken.
The Pope only cares about political and religious P O W E R and gaining more, by associating with/influencing those who have it. Pelosi is a disgrace; she supports every kind of abortion imaginable including sucking the brains out of children 7/8ths of the way out of the birth canal. Pelosi is directly responsible for the disgraceful abortion policy of the American government and she willfully, vocally, politically has and is doing everything within her power to see that it continues and flourishes. The blood of millions are upon her hands. The Pope, KNOWS ALL OF THIS and rather than vocally condemning, excommunicating her and holding her accountable as a "Roman Catholic" he shows his true colors and motives and chooses instead to meet with her. If he were a genuine man of God, and not a religious charlatan he would be bringing down the hammer upon her and her wickedness. But like I said; his actions speak louder than words, all he cares about is P O W E R and associating with those who have it. That is exactly what this audience with her is all about. Interestingly enough, this is the exact same stand Rome took regarding Democratic politicians who were actively participating in and condoning all kinds of wickedness prior to the last election. Rather than vocally condemning them, refusing them communion and excommunicating them and holding them spiritually accountable as a "Roman Catholics" Rome showed its true colors and motives and chooses instead to give them all a pass.
The pope may decry abortion, etc…, but when the rubber meets the road, talk is cheep. Rome will not excommunicate them because IT NEEDS THEM and the access to power they offer it. Thats why Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Pelosi etc get away with murder and all Rome does is look the other way or grant them their desires: marriage annulments, etc.
Remember, it is all about P O W E R, money and influence. That is the reason why the pope is meeting with Pelosi instead of excommunicating her... she is politically powerful and influential. This is also why the likes of Kennedy, Kerry, etc get away with murder and get what they want: marriage anulments, etc while the "little people" get the hammer when they step out of line.
I’m thinking of that scene in Godfather III, where Michael confesses his sins, and the Cardinal tells him, “Your sins are terrible, and it is just that you suffer. Your life could be redeemed, but I know you don’t believe that. You will not change.”
well the pope made a new fan today.
At least some bright news.
But, I wish he punched her.
More likely than not, if it had any effect on her, she would probably leave the Church in private, and pretend to still be a Catholic in public. Oh, wait—
Speaking of anagrams:
Nancy D’Alesandro Pelosi = Pope can see dark sin lady as Nero.*
