Nancy Pelosi truly deserves to be officially excommuicated by the Catholic Church. Serve her the Bull.
The voters need to perform an exorcism.
I am not Catholic, and don’t know squat about their rules. However it seems to me that Obama has more control over Catholic voters than the Pope does. Obama is for abortion anytime, anywhere, on demand. The Pope of course is against this. Yet Catholics by majority voted Obama. What am I not getting here?
Especially when it’s a small “g”.
Though I’m not Catholic, I was thinking the exactly the same thing.

This guy is from MI. He was on 1400 for a while and films in Ferndale, MI

Is there a place for the fatwa in Catholicism, do you think? The Muslims might be on to something........ :-)
As I said on another thread, Speaker Polosi has just received her 2nd (and last) call to repentance and reconciliation. The next move is up to Speaker Polosi. She has exhausted her appeals....”
I’m not Catholic, but this is sorta what I was thinking when the visit with the Pope was announced. It’s a chain of command issue. She just met the last link in the chain.
The Pope, and your church, would be crucified by the leftist press, but I figure the Pope could care less.
A priest being interviewed by O’Reilly last night made an interesting observation. He said that in these types of pope-celebrity meetings, typically there are tons of photos taken, but he could find none of this meeting. He thinks Pope nixed photos because he didn’t want to play in to Pelosi’s obvious photo-op reason for being there.
Also, Dennis Miller said that maybe the Pope didn’t know it was Pelosi, but thought he was seeing the Shroud of Turin instead. :)
Then she HAS to be excommunicated. Now.
I'm not Catholic either - but there's one link left in the chain. There's no coming back from that meeting.
Dennis Miller may have a point!
Actually, photos were specifically prohibited by the Vatican, precisely for the reasons that you stated. Bet Nancy was furious over that one!
>>Yet Catholics by majority voted Obama. What am I not getting here?
That there are a lot of CINOs in this country? (Catholic in Name Only).
I also said on the other thread that I was very sad to realize there was a question as to which way Speaker Polosi would choose.
From the text of this article, it appears that her choice has been made. As I said, you aren’t excommunicated by anyone in the Church — you excommunicate yourself.
As in the old tradition, when you affirm something three times — it is bound — unless you repent and make reconciliation. Excommunication isn’t forever.
But the voters who elected her are all San Francisco lefties... Her status as a politician is in the hands of the voters and, more seriously, her status as a Catholic is in the hands of the Catholic Church. She should recant her flagrantly public position on abortion or be willing to receive excommunication. She shouldn’t be able to have it both ways and the Catholic Church must make the proper decision.
Good for the Vatican on this one. If Pelosi had known there was zero chance for a photo-op, she’d have cancelled.
Isn’t that what Hussein did when he went to see the troops during the campaign? When he learned there’d be no photos of him glad-handing the soldiers, he cancelled going to the base and went to the gym to work out instead.
These Dems are such phonies.
