My wife insists she did indeed see a picture on one of the television news shows, of The Holy Father greeting Drumhead Face.
Photoshop from our wonderfully unbiased media??
So, what happens if she confessed her sins to the Pope?
I hope there were a ton... TON... of Our Father's going out and up while she was there.
Jesus would have thrown her out of the temple of the Lord.
Just as he turned over the tables of the moneychangers.
This may be a photo from last year when the pope came to visit the US, including Washington. As I recall, Speaker Pelosi did meet him, wearing her saintly looking veil, all aglow, and kissed his ring. This I saw in the news and was quite sickened by the sight.
The Pope should have informed Shrieker Pelosi that as of that very moment, that he was personally directing that she be officially excommunicated from the Church, and that she needs to stop advocating the murder of babies.
No reporters or photographers were allowed in the private meeting. It might have been when she was in the public audience outside in St. Peter Square.
Yes, that was what my wife observed.
The point being, Pelosi DID get her photo-op.
No, she really didn’t. One of the highlights of a private audience with the Pope is to have a photograph taken with him.
Pope Benedict snubbed Pelosi and did not let that happen. Bravo for Pope Benedict!
Ah, but the vast majority of the US population is not nearly as sophisticated and knowledgeable as you about all things Catholic.
Yes, she did not get the “official” photo, but she did score a picture of the smiling Pope extending his hand to her. Sufficient for her shallow and calculating purposes.
Yes, bravo to the Holy Father for firing one over her bow. I am keenly anxious to see what the follow-up will be.
The Pope should have publicly admonished her. It sure seems the Catholic Church has surrendered to the abortionists. Perhaps Pope Benedict should read Revelation 2:19-23. Who do you think Jezebel is, metaphorically speaking?
I’d like to believe there is a special place in Hades for that womb-scraping baby butcherer to rot in excrement for eternity.

Maurice Healy, spokesman for the Archdiocese of San Francisco, confirmed to CNSNews.com that Archbishop Neiderauer met with Pelosi in private on Feb. 8. While details of that pastoral-private meeting cannot be disclosed, said Healy, he added that it would be correct, in this matter, to reference the bishops Sept. 5 statement that publicly corrected Pelosis comments about the churchs position on abortion a statement in which the archbishop also invited Pelosi to meet with him to discuss the issue.
Inquiries to Pelosis office on this story were not answered before this story went to press. Questions to Maurice Healy about HLIs appeal for Pelosis excommunication and the topic of prohibiting her from receiving communion were also not returned as this story went to press.
Fr. Euteneur told CNSNews.com that when people call for excommunication its not because theyre just angry or have some political ax to grind against some political officials who call themselves Catholic. These are real serious concerns for the faith of millions of people, and a real cause to do so, according to church law, but we cant do it ourselves because were not bishops.
After Pelosi met with Pope Benedict in Rome on Wednesday, the Vatican released the following statement about the meeting: His Holiness took the opportunity to speak of the requirements of the natural moral law and the Churchs 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.

I'm not Catholic, so I don't know about this stuff. I didn't honestly know this lady was Catholic, and quite frankly was shocked she was/is.
Sounds to me like there might be a little bit of woodshed talk going on.
Heck, if that Froggie Ted Kennedy gets to stay... she will too.
She showed PICTURES of her Family to the POPE!! I bet he was REALLY IMPRESSED!! geesh....can you imagine of a MAN SHOWED PICTURES????? LAughable!!
oh stop....Jesus ate with sinners.
HE DID!! The statement says it all!! THANKS Pope Benedict.
