| Democrats Block Resolution to Commend Pope |
| 2008-04-18 |
| A reliable GOP aide informs Townhall that Senate Democrats are blocking a measure to commend Pope Benedict XVI because of “controversial” religious language used in the text of the resolution. Update: Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer (D.-Calif.) was the one who objected to the religious language. Brownback agreed to drop 'human life' from the resolution to appease pro-choice Democrats. Consequently, the Senate adopted the resolution Wednesday afternoon. |

| #3 Of course, the Senate Democrats who are (nominally) Catholic, and pro-abortion, do not like the Pope's message that Catholics in public life cannot go against Catholic teaching. In other words, they cannot support abortion. This also includes a lot of the leaders in the House, like Nancy Pelosi. |

| #2 well, having heard her speak, I can understand the resentment Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks) would have for intelligent human life |
