Possibly...or the influence of a Scripture-free, tradition-oriented Romanist religion.
There is that.
And what is with Pelosi?
As Alex once opined: [Roman Catholics] make just one thing crucial to salvation - kissing the Pope's ring. Ultimately, everything else is negotiable for them. IMO nothing else explains why Trinitarian pro-life Protestants are anathemized, while atheistic pro-abort Democrats receive Pope-presided communion wafers and Cardinal-presided funeral masses.
A total lack of church discipline leads to shenanigans like pro-abort pols receiving communion and priests molesting children. But then Papists on FR are indignant when the world acts like the world, as this thread demonstrates.
