If Pelosi’s a “Practicing Catholic” Why Can’t She Follow Church Abortion Teaching?
life news ^ | Steven Ertelt

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi made more eye-rolling comments yesterday when she called defending legal abortions to the point of opposing a late-term abortion ban “sacred ground.”

“As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this,” Pelosi said about efforts to stop late-term abortions. “This shouldn’t have anything to do with politics.”

The head of a pro-life women’s group has a good question for Pelosi: If she is truly a “practicing Catholic” why can’t she support the Catholic Church’s pro-life teachings against abortions?

“As a mother and practicing Catholic, I have a modest proposal for Mrs. Pelosi: that she consider the Church’s teaching which says each life is sacred and reject the idea that each abortion is,” says Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of the Susan B. Anthony List.

“As a practicing Catholic, Nancy Pelosi knows full well there’s no moral difference between the atrocities of Kermit Gosnell and abortions in the womb,” Dannenfelser continued. “She also knows that politics has everything to do with it: The bill she is trying to shut down – the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act — would protect these babies and women from the pain of late-term abortion.”

“Pelosi’s refusal to answer shows how scared she and the pro-abortion lobby are of the bill, which is exactly why they are trying to shut it down. They’ve seen the same polling we have: The majority of Americans reject late-term abortion,” Danenfelser added. “The bill is scheduled to hit the House floor next week – but it won’t if Pelosi and the pro-abortion lobby have their way. In fact, NARAL just sent out a national action alert urging their members to call their Representative and demand that the bill is not brought to the floor of the House.”

During the press conference, in response to a reporter’s question, Pelosi was upset to be asked about the gruesome abortions and intanticides done by Kermit Gosnell and indicated she opposes a bill a committee approved yesterday to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Pelosi falsely called the bill a ban on all abortions.

“They would make it a federal law that there would be no abortion in our country,” Pelosi said.

Certainly the American Church, and now the new Pope, has made it clear to Pelosi and her ilk that ignoring Church teaching on abortion just isn’t such a big deal.

Pelosi’s a Catholic like Hitler was a Jew. Any doctor who preforms an abortion is in direct violation of the Hippocratic Oath.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires. 2 Tim 4:3

Somebody as braindead and virtually stupid as she is, is not going to suddenly say, “Ya’ know . . . You’re right! It is murder.”

What it will take to embarrass this sick beeyyaaaach is to have the Catholic Church do its job: Refuse publicly to give her Communion in any Catholic Church and then publicly humiliate the jackass by excommunicating her immediately and loudly.

Until then, it’s totally fruitless to confront the jackass.

Because she’s still practicing. She hasn’t got the hang of it yet.

Apologies to Red Skelton.

I could be wrong here but I think it’s because she’s a bogus Catholic and her god, Satan, loves dead babies.

If Pelosi is a Catholic, why hasn’t she been excommunicated?

She’s Pope of the Pelosian Schismatic Catholic Church of Moloch. Sacred ground, people, sacred ground.

Pelosi IS a fetalcidal, bloodthirsty, child abusing psychopath.
Why she hasn’t been excommunocated from your Catholic churches, by those in power, is an act of complicity BY the Catholic power structure.
If Catholics had any gonads or backbones, Catholics would bar her from even entering any Catholic churches, on the grounds her presence is desecration of Holy ground.
What say YOU Catholics?

Ah, that’s because she’s a hypocrite, a Catholic in name only (CINO), and a practicing heretic. She should be excommunicated.

So why is she not excommunicated? Where is the beef?

She needs to be questioned about her statement that sounded like she said abortion was “sacred ground”...
