Pelosi Not A "Conservative Catholic" Catholic League President Says (New Old Left)

Nancy Pelosi's claim to be a "conservative Catholic" was challenged today by an astonished Catholic League president William Donahue.

Noting that Pelosi made the claim on yesterday's CNN show, "Inside Politics," when the new House Minority Leader said, "Yes, I'm a liberal Democrat, but I'm a conservative Catholic," Donahue ticked off Pelosi's numerous stands in conflict with her Church:

Pelosi, has voted against school vouchers and the Faith- Based Initiative.

She has been an ardent abortion supporter. " When it comes to abortion, no one in the U.S. Congress has a more extreme record than she does," Donahue reports. "Whether the issue is parental consent or partial-birth abortion, she can always be counted on to deliver a pro-abortion vote." In spite of these anti-Catholic positions, Donahue said "she calls herself a 'conservative Catholic.' It would be instructive to know what she considers a liberal Catholic to be."

And Donahue wasn't finished: "It's actually worse than this," he said. "The October 12 edition of the PBS program, 'To the Contrary,' showed Pelosi playing host to anti- Catholics. Frances Kissling and other staff members of the notoriously anti-Catholic organization Catholics for a Free Choice, were featured walking out of Pelosi's office after a lobbying session.

"Pelosi's contacts with these anti-Catholics is nothing new: in 1995 she was critical of the U.S. bishops for blasting Kissling's outfit as anti-Catholic," he recalled. "At that time, the bishops objected to the inclusion of Kissling's group at the U.N. Conference on Women that was to be held in Beijing.

"In reference to Kissling, William Cardinal Keeler, then head of the bishops' conference, said 'To use the name Catholic to promote the taking of innocent life is offensive.' Pelosi defended Kissling saying 'Many women are concerned about freedom of speech and association at the conference. Accreditation should not be a politicized process.' It is not surprising, then, that Pelosi refuses to condemn the DNC, [Democratic National Committee] for its support for Kissling's group today.

"In short," Donahue concluded, "Pelosi's spin game is insulting. No conservative Catholic we know okays the killing of kids 80 percent born."

Ping!!

No conservative Catholic we know okays the killing of kids 80 percent born.

No Catholic, Muslim, Jew, Protesant, Mormon, Seven Day Adventis, etc...okays the killing of kids 80% born. Only Liberals.

[Texas_Jarhead]

what happened to her integrity and honesty that I've heard so many in the media mention as of late?

[Saundra Duffy]

Wow! Good for him.

Start by lying....we know what follows!

"Yes, I'm a liberal Democrat, but I'm a conservative Catholic,"

Was Hitler a Christian?
The claim is sometimes made that Hitler was a Christian - a Roman Catholic until the day he died. In fact…

Liberal is a religion. Liberals seek redemption in the after-life by taking your money and spending it on their favorite charities. That's why the government has an "obligation" to do so many things for those who don't have, by taking from those who have.

[catonsville]

She is very persuasive, contained and unflappable and very slick.

The Fox news guy from 6-7 ( cannot remember his name ) tried to stick it to her and couldn't. Being intellegent and attractive doesn't hurt her causes either.

This is why she is so dangerous

[cynicom]

Texas....

Coming from the corrupt D'Alessandro family of Baltimore, she has never known integrity.

[GOPJ]

Pelosi misspoke.

She meant to say she's a traditional democrats in the Clinton way: a lying democrat.

Yes. Many here are thinking that she will self-destruct. Just watch already how the government/media complex has elivated her. The lies continually until next election will take its toll. These people MUST be countered each & every time they open their socialist mouths. Will the Pubbies so such? You know that answer, No. Ergo watch out. So many scenerios until 2004.

[linn37]

I have seen her on TV she is slick but barely has enough smarts on foreign policy matters to light up a nightlight

Hitler may have been a Catholic at one time, but he was ex communicated by the Pope! So it is doubtful that he was a Catholic on the day he died.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

When was Hitler excommunicated?

[cubreporter]

No Catholic conservative or otherwise should condone the killing of ANY child...80% born or at conception!

As soon as I heard about her making this statement, I knew we would be hearing from William Donuhue. He's a fighter and a patriot. I'll never forget him on Hannity and Colms battling with Ralph Naes of the People for the communist way ( as he put it ).

Mega thanks for the post & ping!

Bill Donahue is the real deal. His passion and devotion reminds me of several priests I admired for their cognizant explanations when I asked, in my youth (as an altar boy), : "What's it all about"....they were honest, and said..."I don't know...but we'll find out."

I'm not a church going guy, but I believe and have faith, we're in this together...for the good.

Mustang sends....btw, the 'social justice' crowd and their refrain is bogus. A smarter person than I once told me:

"...Jesus came to take away our sins, not our minds..."

Mustang sends w/Best FReegards.
