I’m surprised you didn’t put Catholic in quotation marks.Rep. Pelosi, Speaker of the House and Catholic grandmother, can jump on the high moral ground by taking a “brave” stand against a century-old genocide, but not against abortion here and now.
All together now:
– Mark L. Chance.
I’m trying to avoid that. I’ll let God put Catholic in quotation marks where necessary.
Better yet why doesn’t her Bishop admonish her about her outspoken opposition to many of the core teachings of the Catholic Church?I’m trying to avoid that. I’ll let God put Catholic in quotation marks where necessary.
– Mark L. Chance.
That would be the archbishop of San Francisco…
UH-OH!!!That would be the archbishop of San Francisco…
that’s a good question, and one that could be posed about many nominally catholic politicians.
Tomarin, we ask this question all the time, about a variety of Catholic politicians. We never get an answer.
letter writing campaign, anyone?Tomarin, we ask this question all the time, about a variety of Catholic politicians. We never get an answer.
I suspect its the latter because because if it was the former he would not be giving her communion.
appalling.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but maybe it’s none of our business?Tomarin, we ask this question all the time, about a variety of Catholic politicians. We never get an answer.
i don’t agree. when people flaunt the spiritual authority of the church and yet use their affiliation with catholicism to win votes, it is everybody’s business.
But it is our business. We are Catholic, so is she. But the ordinary Catholic might be refused communion for what she advocates every day. That’s a double standard.
Then don’t vote them. I certainly wouldn’t. But what is said between them and their pastors is indeed none of our business. The bottom line is this: No one here knows what, if anything, has been said between Rep. Pelosi and her bishop. Everything is speculation, which has a nasty way of quickly becoming gossip and calumny.
Don’t you think we should be concerned when a prominent Catholic continually disputes the teachings of the Church? If they go unanswered does that not indicate tactic consent?
But we all know what she speaks in public. And what she speaks in public is often IN contradiction with the teachings of the church she belongs to. That must be pointed out-if the bishops won’t do it than we need to.
Admittedly. But needlessly (and perhaps inaccurately) speculating about conversations and motives isn’t prudent. It detracts from the actual issues. Like I said, Rep. Pelosi should be voted out of office ASAP is not sooner. This would be true no matter what her religious affiliation.
Who are you to say that I am embarassed? Do you know me, have you ever met me? Have you spoken with anyone who knows me well enough to say if anything **ever **embarasses me?
Whatis all this about speculating about conversations??? We all know what she says in public. And what she says in public is in direct contradiction of what the church she claims to belong to teaches.
That is solely up to her constituency. There are districts that have elected far-leftists and there are districts who put extreme right-wingers into Congress. It’s their choice as to whom they elect.
