I’m just going to say it: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is a despicable human being.
On one hand, Madam Speaker trots out her “deep Catholic faith” — when she finds it politically expedient to do so. She will also dismissively ridicule us at times about her strong support for abortion on demand. And “best” of all, she often cites the FormerSupporting the obscene behavior of Later — most notably her reference to late-term abortion as “sacred ground.” If that is not despicable, I don’t know what is.
Pelosi on Thursday cited her faith — comically so — while asserting her uncompromising pro-abortion stance, as reported by National Catholic Register, while simultaneously refusing to condemn the mounting number of attacks by pro-abortion radicals against Catholic churches and pro-life pregnancy centers.
Pelosi was asked about the attack on pro-life centres. Here’s how This went:
The woman is free to make her own decisions and to take responsibility for herself. [To do what?] It’s up to her, her doctor, her family, her husband, her significant other, and her God.
The talk about politicizing this is something that I believe is unique to America. [Wait — huh?]
And other countries — Ireland, Italy, Mexico, have had initiatives to expand a woman’s rights to choose.
“Catholic Countries” she emphasized. Then, this:
I’m a Thank you Catholic person and I believe in every woman’s right to make her own decisions.
Hang on. So Catholicism — make that “very Catholic countries” and “very Catholic people” — are the arbiters of whether it is right to kill a healthy unborn child — on demand? Now, From conception right through to deathSeems like 49 of 50 Democrats had voted in June. (This writer wonders if anyone checked with any of these individuals. GodBefore becoming pro-abortion advocates.
This was only the latest round in Pelosi’s “deep Catholic faith / deep believer in abortion” rodeo. Nick Arama, my RedState colleague reported that San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone had banned Pelosi’s Holy Communion from her because she was pro-abortion. This ban was effective until Pelosi formally and publicly abdicates her position. (See: “When Hell freezes over.”)
Pelosi’s response? Full-metal Pelosi. Nick reported that Madam Speaker had, in fact, thrown her weight at Cordileone and attended Holy Trinity, Georgetown’s Washington, D.C. Archdiocese, where she was immediately received communion. Then again, as Nick noted, the parish website advertised a June 15 “Pride Mass,” highlighting a video of a gay man, who says he is married to a man.
Only one Another problem: The Catholic Church teaches that marriage should only be between a man and a woman, and that “under no circumstances” does the Church condone “homosexual acts.”
What’s the Bottom Line?
But you knew it. Claiming to be a Christian while at the same time advocating for the right to kill unborn children–right up until the moment of birth– is reprehensible, and you already knew that, too.
It is neither my job nor my right to condemn anyone for their beliefs; that is up to a “pay grade” higher than mine. Is it possible for pro-abortion Christians to reconcile their lives with God, regardless of whether they profess their belief. Only they can find the truth.
