Washington, DC––Members of the pro-life movement have denounced House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi after remarks that she, as a Catholic, viewed the protection of the sacrifice of virgins during Black Masses as sacred ground. “As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this,” Pelosi said in a statement last week, going on to say that the subject of sacrificing the life of a worthy virgin pleasing to the Dark Lord as deeply personal to priests and priestesses performing the sacred ritual. Leading Catholics were quick to denounce Pelosi’s statements, including Thomas Peters of Catholicvote.org who called the remarks “deeply offensive.” But Magistra and High Priestess of the Church of Satan Peggy Nadramia disagrees with those criticizing Pelosi, recently telling reporters that followers of the Most Unholy Lord Satan had a right to do what they wished in their ceremonies. “It’s our ceremonies and no one can tell us what we can or cannot do in them.”
-— There’s no reason to satirize Pelosi.... the things she actually says are hilarious enough as it is. -—
No kidding. Moloch is alive and well in the Democrat Party.
I would like to see the old bell, book, and candle routine done on her. In Latin. And I’m a Southern Baptist!
WHEN is the Catholic church going to ex-communicate her?
Just how far does one have to go for them to take action?
If they are wondering why the rest of the flock doesn’t follow church teachings, this is the reason. if they won’t address someone like her, everyone else who knows they aren’t as bad as her feels pretty good about themselves. They’re safe if she is.
The Catholic church isn’t giving its adherents any reason to live according to its teachings. Look at the funeral they gave murderer and adulterer Kennedy.
Until they put their money where their mouth is, they will never gain any credibility.
Until some Catholics took exception to it :)
Huh?
It may be satire but it’s also an analogy that works, if, the sole measure of whether something is permissible or not is if you’re a woman and you want to do it. Saying abortion is “sacred” to her and her church is just as nuts as saying virgin sacrifice is “sacred”.
Who are you kidding here? Certainly not me.
Yes, they have "addressed" it. They have addressed it the same way over and over again. Verbal rebukes. Pastoral attempts at making her recognize how wrong she is to support abortion AND how wrong it is for her to receive communion. And some bishops even allow it! She even received at the PAPAL INAUGURATION MASS! Same thing over and over.
BUT SHE DOES NOT LISTEN.
It is high time for the Church to get a collective spine and do something tougher than just slapping wrists.
It reminds me of the parent who begs for her children to listen.
*Johnny, come here. I mean it. Come here right now. Johnny. JOHNNY!. Johnny, if you don’t come here right now, do you know what I’m going to do? I’m going to count to 5. OK. I’m going to start now if you don’t come here right now. OK Johnny, this is it. Johnny. One. Johnny, did you hear that? I got to one already....*
And so it goes.
It doesn’t work with children and it’s not going to work with adults because just as the child knows it’s empty threats and there’s no follow through, adults can figure it out as well.
So people like Pelosi and Kennedy and any other Catholic church defying politician, perceives it all as empty threats and weakness on the part of the Church. And they’re likely to get their Catholic funeral anyway, just like Ted Kennedy did.
As long as the RCC is perceived as weak, people are not going to listen or respect it.
The people I respect the most are the ones with the backbone to take a stand, whether I agree with them or not. At least they are standing for what they believe in and have the conviction to do so.
And metmom....I can finally say that you and I agree on something!
