Pope Francis made his priorities clear this week: After issuing an apostolic letter reiterating his crackdown on the use of the Church’s traditional liturgy, he entertained Speaker Pelosi at the Vatican.
His Holiness, who appears to be consolidating his legacy with new personnel and legal reforms as his health falters, met and blessed Mrs. Pelosi before Mass at St. Peter’s Wednesday.
Mrs. Pelosi, who is banned from communion at her home archdiocese at San Francisco for public support of abortion, received the sacrament from an assisting priest during Mass.
At issue is not Mrs. Pelosi’s bona fides as speaker of the House. The Constitution, in its most emphatic prohibition, forbids religious tests for any office or public trust under the United States. What is the issue in the news is the church.
It appears that Francis was using his blessing of Mrs. Pelosi as a message to the church in America, where it was perceived as an indirect vindication for liberals. Francis’s statement on the liturgy was intended as a rebuke of the church’s conservative bloc.
The apostolic letter Desiderio desideravi, issued Wednesday morning, justifies His Holiness’s action last year limiting the use of the traditional Latin Mass preferred by some conservatives.
Contradicting his predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, who liberalized the use of the traditional liturgy, Francis insisted the old Mass is incompatible with the reforms of the Second Vatican Council.

When will these old marxist toads retire.
Satan never sleeps.
Commies of feather...
Who cares what the Anti-pope says? Watch Patrick Coffin’s compelling argument that BXVI is still pope. And there’s are other canon law experts that hold the same view. After weighing the evidence it seems clear that Frank is a farce.
“Mrs. Pelosi, who is BANNED from communion at her home archdiocese at San Francisco for public support of abortion, received the sacrament FROM AN ASSISTING PRIEST during Mass.”
And here she thought her Boarding Pass into Heaven was approved and already stamped, LOL!
What a witch. Cannot WAIT to shove you out the door come November!
Unfortunately he has appointed 2/3of the Cardinals who will elect the next pope.
She’s the perfect New Catholic.
Out of curiosity, what religion are Francis and Pelosi?
What a disgusting spectacle. Pecker puss Pelosi will be sitting on the commie pope’s lap in the lowest ring of hell for eternity.
Pelosi boondoggle.
Birds of a feather. Judgement Day is coming.
Francis the Fraud is an enabler of the worship of Moloch. He stokes the fires and beckons the World into the furnace.
I don’t understand Catholicism much at all. Can’t anyone excommunicate the pope and Nan?
It’s crazy to think that RvW has been overturned in the world’s biggest abortion mill country and the Pope could not care less.
In fact, he’s most likely perturbed.
I don’t know. It is not the Catholic Church I recognize. My Catholic Church is not the one I am a member of. Their religion is the APE of the REAL Catholic Church.
Correction: My Catholic Church is not the one THEY are a member of.
When will these old marxist toads retire.
or go back to Hell
