Which is it? “Madam Speaker" or "Moral Theologian?”

The uproar continues over the recent statements of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi [who describes herself as an "as an ardent, practicing Catholic" and] who defended her pro-abortion stance or, to be more nuanced, her “pro-choice” stance supporting a woman’s “right” to choose between having a child or an abortion....

In view of the reactions to her statements, Mrs. Pelosi later issued through her spokesman, Brendan Daly, a communiqué saying: “While Catholic teaching is clear that life begins at conception, many Catholics do not ascribe to that view....”

Besides rejecting the infallible teaching on abortion, this so-called "ardent Catholic" also renounces Church teaching regarding the immorality of sodomy and homosexual acts by defending same-sex “marriage.”

On identifying herself with dissident Catholics who reject the Church’s Magisterium, the House Speaker seems to believe that her status as a politician supersedes that of a Catholic or that as a politician she is exempted from the dictates of natural law and divine law.

She has succumbed to the vice of pride and believes eveything Satan whispers in her ears...And yet she remains unrepentant and unpunished...and the faithful remain scandalized by bishops who fail in their duties to deny Holy Communion to these outspoken advocates of heresies!
