Pelosi says she received a rosary blessed by
Pope Francis from Obama at lunch today

12:24 PM - 1 Apr 2014

Obama met Pope Francis at the Vatican for the first time last week.

Pelosi, a Catholic, has been criticized for her support of abortion — a practice which she has called “sacred ground” — by other Catholics.

Last year, a Vatican official in Rome said that the California lawmaker should be denied communion.

“This is a person who obstinately, after repeated admonitions, persists in a grave sin — cooperating with the crime of procured abortion,” Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke said in an interview with The Wanderer.

Pelosi met with Pope Benedict XVI in 2009, and according to a report in Politico at the time, the Pope spoke with her about the sanctity of life and blessed some rosaries for her grandchildren’s confirmation...

Kennedy was an idol... all of them or most it appears..
Pelosi is one, Biden is one, Cuomo’s are Idols too..

They are rock stars...wealthy to boot...

And they hold mighty strong purse strings to public treasuries as well..

And using the public treasury to ‘redistribute’ or donate other people’s money for ‘your good works’ legislation covers lots of waitress sandwiches or affairs or your votes on abortion in confessions..

I’d say the two are hardly equivalent.

The “Pope” did not give the witch communion. She was one of thousands of people that lined up to receive communion. She knew she was wrong, that’s her problem, not the problem of one of the 100 or so priests that passed out communion to a general audience in the Vatican. And the Pope never gave her rosary. You have no way of verifying this statemenet: “and now has been given a rosary which was a gift from her Holy Father, to her president and the leader of her party”. Show me verifiable proof that Pope Francis HIMSELF have Obummer a rosary or be quite about it.

And Warren Buffet is an idol to protestants all over the country. And so is grinning liberal Joel Osteen, Rick Warren and Oprah Winfrey. And how about all those black rappers that your kids look up to? How many Catholics you think are in that bunch of degenerates? How about none. All protestants and every last one of them voted for their mullato god.

Catholics Biden and Pelosi, both received communion at the Vatican.

VATICAN, March 20, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Pro-abortion Catholics Vice President Joe Biden and House Leader Nancy Pelosi both received Holy Communion at the inauguration Mass of Pope Francis in the Vatican yesterday. However, while the Pope did administer Communion to deacons assisting at the altar, he did not distribute Communion to any of the dignitaries present.

As far as the Rosary, the Pope and the President and Nancy Pelosi, since all the news outlets are reporting it the same, that is your burden to prove it false.

Not defending Obama here, but the article says nothing about Pope Francis giving the rosary to Obama. It merely says they exchanged gifts. For all we know, he could have bought the rosary in a gift shop.

The PIVOTER...has never been one to have a keen love or rules...

"Pelosi won’t run on Obamacare: ‘While we’re proud of the Affordable Care Act, we now pivot to jobs’"....

is a pivot.... akin to a spin?

Jobs ... LOL. They’re track record on jobs is pathetic. IOW, they’ll lie as usual making everything sound rosy. Anything negative will be blamed on the right wingers.

“As far as the Rosary, the Pope and the President and Nancy Pelosi, since all the news outlets are reporting it the same, that is your burden to prove it false”

Like I said BS. Show me a link from the Vatican that says Pope Francis blessed a rosary and gave it to Obama. Or be quite about it. A rosary presented to the ass-in-chief would have been a gift from the Pope to him. Never happened. Not saying he didn’t get a $1 rosary from one of the many hawkers all over the Vatican. But it damn sure was not from Francis himself and damn sure was not personally blessed.

That post was just bizarre, rambling, cussing.

If you want to say that the news is all wrong about something, you need to shows us some facts to counter the ones that have been reported on.

You need to show a link from the Vatican saying Francis PERSONALLY gave Obummer a rosary. Not the same tweet from an an NBC Pelosi surrogate. Any media outlet that has reported that story has reported the exact same tweet as the source.
Now that is a hell of a “source” to use.

I have no reason to post anything of the sort, it doesn’t even interest me, but it sure seems to be something you are curious about, as far as I know, the Catholic Popes bless Rosarys and use street peddlers to hawk them, like you implied.

My only interest is in the news story about President Obama returning from his meeting with the current Catholic Pope, and giving the Catholic democrat leader, a Rosary which was blessed by her Holy Father, in the same week that she received the Margaret Sangar award from Planned Parenthood.

Come out of her!

15 promises their Lady (Mary) gave for praying the Rosary- taken from the How to Pray the Rosary instruction booklet...

Whoever shall faithfully SERVE ME (MARY) by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive signal graces.

I promise MY ( MARY) special protection and the greatest graces to all who shall recite the Rosary.
The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell; it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.

It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, those souls would sanctify themselves by this means.

The soul which recommends itself to ME (MARY) by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.

Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life.

Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.

Those who are faithful in reciting the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the saints in paradise.
I (MARY) shall deliver from purgatory, those who have been devoted to the Rosary.

The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.

You shall obtain all you ask of ME ( MARY) by the recitation of the Rosary.

All those who propagate the holy Rosary shall be aided by ME ( MARY) in their necessities.

I ( MARY) have obtained from My Divine Son ( some Greco Roman diety with the similaritynof Tammuz) that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death.

All who recite the Rosary are MY ( MARY) sons, and brothers of My only Son Jesus Christ. ( greco roman substitute for the Lion of Judah)

Devotion to MY (MARY) Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

Lots of I, me, my from their LADY...

Roman Catholics are in denial... sad substitute anti messiah cult calling themselves the One True church of the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob...

The protestants in large numbers reject this, but on the same hand have no problem following that mother church’s calendar (Gregorian), their man made holy days (christ’s mass and easter) or their sabbath (The sun’s day) and even a Greco roman Latin name Jesus for the Messiah of Israel , which we know in English to really be Joshua.

And I don’t think her protestant daughter churches are far enough away from their ‘mother’ church... but they have ‘givens’ in their ‘truth’ that they got from their mother and can’t break from it...

Come out of her....

“as far as I know, the Catholic Popes bless Rosarys and use street peddlers to hawk them, like you implied”

You are kidding? No, I think you’re serious and it shows your utter ignorance of anything that goes on at the Vatican.

If Obummer gave a rosary to Pelosi it’s a rosary some hawker gave one of his aides and they in-turn gave Obummer. Then the marxist in chief is free to do anything he wants with the $1 rosary. And if he gave it to Pelosi and was told it was “blessed” by the Pope, especially for her, she’s dumber than I thought she was. But she is an ignoramous, so nothing this moron says anymore surprises me.
