Speaker Pelosi, who has one of the most radical pro-abortion records in Congress, met the pope last year at the White House.
Woah!… Pope Benedict Rebukes Pelosi!
Pope Benedict XVI told U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi that Catholic politicians have a duty to protect life “at all stages of its development.”
Life News reported:
VATICAN CITY, February 18, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Vatican Press Office released a note this morning detailing part of the conversation which Pope Benedict XVI had with Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Vatican insiders inform LifeSiteNews.com that such releases are always phrased in diplomatic language and thus the correction of the Speaker who fancies herself a faithful Catholic despite her abortion advocacy can be taken as a rebuke.
The text of the note reads: “His Holiness took the opportunity to speak of the requirements of the natural moral law and the Church’s consistent teaching on the dignity of human life from conception to natural death which enjoin all Catholics, and especially legislators, jurists and those responsible for the common good of society, to work in cooperation with all men and women of good will in creating a just system of laws capable of protecting human life at all stages of its development.”
Does Pelosi care? Probably not too much.
It was only a slight embarrassment for the Speaker.
Obviously, what is important to Pelosi is her politics.
For Pelosi, politics trumps faith.
UPDATE: Funny… Pelosi didn’t even mention this in her press release.
As The Anchoress says:
The things that singe our consciences are the things we try to dance around, or ignore outright.
