House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was in Rome to speak at the G20 Parliamentary Speakers’ Summit about the Wuhan coronavirus and their climate change agenda.
The House is now on a two week recess, so it looks like Pelosi isn’t working too hard on trying to pass the Biden agenda. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell criticized Pelosi’s inability to resolve the outstanding debt limit question. “I can only presume she hopes the full faith and credit of the United States will get sorted out without her,” McConnell said. “That is the level of leadership and accountability the country is getting from Washington Democrats who run this country.”

Pelosi was also invited to do a reading during Mass at St Patrick’s Catholic American Parish in Rome. But there was some form of a “security incident” according to Paulist Fr. Steven Petroff, rector of St. Patrick’s, who was saying the Mass. The Rome correspondent for The Epoch Times described it as Pelosi being “heckled.”

It’s unclear what the “security incident” was exactly. But I’m just guessing that Joe Biden probably wouldn’t be describing it as “just part of the process” and saying it “happens to everybody” as he did about harassment of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ).
Massive protests took place against the COVID-mandated vaccination passports. There was also a demonstration in Rome, Piazza del Popolo. I don’t know if that had any relation to anything.

It is was also a ridiculous rumorJoe Biden could name Pelosi as his ambassador at the Vatican. Biden renamed Joe Donnelly, a former congressman.
As a Catholic I would like to ask the Pope or Fr. Petroff. Perhaps this could have worked if she was able to be moved on her pro-abortion stand. If not, then why would you invite her to a private meeting? You are inviting her to read at the Vatican. That’s the kind of thing that you do when you agree with what she is saying. Is it okay for her to be pro-abortion now?
They accomplished all of this in spite the fact that Salvatore Cordileone (her Archbishop) has tried to press her into abstaining from her pro-abortion stance. He asked Catholics to pray that the Pope would grant her a conversion.

“A conversion of heart of the majority of our congressional representatives is needed on this issue, beginning with the leader of the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi,” Cordileone said in a statement, referring to the issue of abortion.
“I am therefore inviting all Catholics to join in a massive and visible campaign of prayer and fasting for Speaker Pelosi: Commit to praying one rosary a week and fasting on Fridays for her conversion of heart,” he said.
When you’re inviting her to do a reading at Mass, you’re not exactly calling her out or explaining to her what she’s doing wrong. You’re actually suggesting that people should listen to her. It’s a totally wrong message.
