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...

I am so sorry that you had such a rough upbringing. The only thing is that you let your Dad win by giving up your religion.

Actually, B. Hussein knows just what he is doing.

He is pulling another stunt to garner satanic support for abortion and to continue to woo the Catholic crowd for his causes, by showing the world by implication that Pelosi’s suck-up to everything abortion and all her mischeivous behavior is sanctioned by the Church.

“Lord, forgive this desecration of the Rosary, meant to be used to meditate on Thy sacred mysteries!”

May God complete His chastisements on this culture of death refining it like fire until what ever remnant remains thereafter make Him our all in all!

(Meanwhile mother Mary shall certainly seek to temper His just and harsh intentions as she often has in the past.)

“Please, God forgive and heal our indifference toward thee.”

“Mother Mary, up in heaven, refuge if sinners, pray to Jesus for us! Even as thou didst modify His course at the wedding feast in Cana, cause Him to look kindly on us again.”

Of any person I know of who desperately NEEDS a Rosary, it’s Nancy Pelosi.

Many parables about going after lost sheep in the Bible....not slaughtering them because they are lost.

Why would the Pope give NON-CATHOLIC Obummer a rosary? Makes no sense. If the “proof” of this is a tweet from a left-wing pro-abort female that works for NBC I ain’t buying it.

If you believe a tweet from a left-wing pro-abort female NBC flunkie you will believe anything. Makes no sense whatsover for the Pope to give NON-CATHOLIC Obummer a rosary.

Obama probably sent one of his drunken Secret Service guys down to the Vatican gift shop to buy those rosary beads.

He probably thought it would be a hoot to see her gush over the gift.

Christ also hung out with sinners.

Giving a rosary to someone is not in any way honoring them. It’s more like an invitation to prayer. How is that not acting Christ-like?

I thought that gifts to the President from another head of State were gifts to the nation and not his personal property to give away.

Exactly what I was thinking. I had a vision of the rosary bursting into flames in her hands.

Rosaries are routinely given as tokens when one has an audience with the Pope. I would bet the Pope is not the one who handed it to him, but one of the Pope’s “guys”. No way in the world that the Pope would know what obama was going to do with it. I am extremely fortunate to have received one of these rosaries when i met Pope Benedict, it is something i will always treasure.
