Every time Nancy opens her mouth, she reveals the emptiness in her soul, heart and head.

I agree. Pelosi and her ilk are rotting the the church by poisoning the faith. The church leadership needs to rid their ranks of these heretics. You can’t claim you are a Catholic and then disagree with everything it stands for. Now the money question, does the church have the backbone to do this or will they compromise or rationalize the issue away.

I know it seems odd, but the Church doesn’t publicly excommonunicate on things like this. At best she’d be schooled by some bishop for her ignorance of Catholic policy. And, obviously, the Church can’t excommunicate for a crime against the Constitution, which is really the case here. No, this isn’t an easy one. A more likely excommunication would fall on a BISHOP or very vocal priest who deliberately misrepresented or decried the Church’s position on abortion (and birth control). The Church seldom disciplines lay people (particularly ignoramuses), no matter how powerful, with anything more than public acknowledgment of the layman’s error.

Actually, the best thing all these churches and organizations could do is run a ‘vote him out’ campaign.

How could this possibly be news? She is the author of the policy. Sheesh.

“In what way is this unifying, Ms Pelosi?” would be my follow-up question...”

It is unifying Republicans, Catholics, Jews, and Evangelicals against Obama (which, I’m sure he hadn’t intended).
Interfaith leaders stand with Catholics against administration:

Huckabee mentioned in his CPAC speach that Obummer did something no Republican could do - - unite Republicans

"If the Catholic Church does not start excommunicate these politicians over this issue, then the Church is hopelessly lost and has succumbed to the darkness."

Don't kid yourself. The Church has had decades to deal with the likes of T. Kennedy, N. Pelosi, J. Kerry, etc. Hell they wont even discipline the biggest asshole Catholic on the planet, Father Pfleger!

This is a lovers squabble; nothing more, nothing less! Move along . . .nothing to see here.

“House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a practicing Catholic and mother of five”

So how do I say this without being crass? She was allowed to procreate without interference and apparantly followed the church’s rules. So why on earth does this bag of wind think that now she is a practicing Catholic when she influences young women to do the exact opposite of her practicing Catholic beliefs? Elitest ‘rat!

"Pelosi is no more a “practicing Catholic” than Obama is a "Christian". These are just labels used by the lying liberal media to put lipstick on the pig. "

Now that is easily the best quote of the day!

WHY hasn’t she been excommunicated?

That is something for the Catholic Church to do. I am not Catholic.

But, I want her tried for the crimes she has committed. Especially that of illegal certification of BHO, Jr. (aka Barry Seratoro, aka Barry Dunham).
