(CNSNews.com) – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that her Catholic faith "compels" her to "be against discrimination of any kind" and thus for same-sex marriage.

A reporter asked Pelosi: “Many of the people that are opposed to gay marriage cite their religion as the reason why they're opposed. You're a Catholic that supports gay marriage. Do you believe that religion and the idea that you can support gay marriage can be separated? And how do you grapple with the idea that you support gay marriage as a Catholic?”

Maybe her bishop is afraid the a public excommunication will backfire and give Pelosi victim status. There was a bishop where I live who publically told a “Catholic” pro abortion state assemblywoman to stay away from communion. She got enough sympathy votes to get re-elected. The Republican in the race, who is non-Catholic, blamed the bishop for her narrow defeat. Pelosi is self excommunicated anyway. She will probably need asbestos underwear in the after life

My religion compells me to pray for her immortal soul.

Woe to anyone who causes another to lose faith.

It isn’t discrimination Nancy...it is truth.
“Your” religion was based on the teachings of Jesus.
Jesus gave us the formula...one man, one woman.

These folks are very odd.

Political positions such as opposition to abortion that are based on religious faith are a violation of separation of church and state.

Political positions such as approval of gay marriage that are based on religious faith are a entirely right, proper and constitutional.

Obviously here political position is not based on religious faith, she just pretends it is on the theory this will disarm the opposition.

Everybody throw holy water on Pelosi and repeat after me:

“The power of Christ compels you!”

“The power of Christ compels you!”

Etc.

Maybe the Devil will come out of her, maybe not. But at least we tried.

More from the article:
While opposing "unjust discrimination" against homosexuals, the Catechism of the Catholic Church says that homosexual acts are "contrary to the natural law" and can never be approved and that marriage is the sacramental union of a man and a woman.

While I have no problem with queers doing their thing behind closed doors, I am sick of them pushing their sick lifestyle and Hollywood including them into almost every show. Even my SO, who is more tolerant than I, is getting perturbed that almost everything we watch has got to have some guys kissing or schmoozing each other. ENOUGH ALREADY!

I'm thinking of starting a movement for heterosexual pride. It would have no basis in religion or morality, but simply about the wonderment of heterosexual intimacy between a man and a woman.

Think: Heteros-R-Us.com. Anyone want to help build a website? I'll pay the initial costs for the URL and building of the website. Freepmail me.

exactly! she has been bringing shame to the Church (and ruin to the country) for years. Alas, the Church is incredibly negligent (to the extreme) in not rebuking and excommunicating her after all this time. She is setting a horriffic example for Christian (and all other) youth — and she is doing it in a very public way in her very public role....all while claiming she is a Christian and even doing it in the name of her socalled faith. So sorry to have to ask but where is the bishop in this?

Besides her utter lack of knowledge of Christianity and the Constitution, This she-devil surly discriminates against all conservatives.
___________________________________________________________

HighWheeler, it is a failing she shares with Obama and others in our government. But the time will come when they will answer for all of their sins, just like I will. Difference is, Jesus paid the penalty for me.

Wow. And the MSM denigrates the one big TEA PARTY event in DC back when that had no arrests, no violence, no arson, no destruction of property and left the grounds spotless.

MSNBC is going down; CNN is going down (although they lately moderated their reports - think survival); the NY Times, LA times, Boston Globe, and other liberal bird liners are going down.

All of the MSM is losing viewership/readership and losing money. As much as some here like to denigrate Fox News, it is building in viewership. So is the conservative Net news sources and blogs. I expect many of the MSM to go defunct in the next years. Good riddance.

Thought I would repeat this:

Think: Heteros-R-Us.com or other name. Anyone want to help build a website? I'll pay the initial costs for the URL and building of the website. Freepmail me.

No. Pelosi’s beyond sex, but she’s a dyke, for cry-eyed. It’s personal.
