#12  I take it excommunication is out of the question.

#11  And what's a little communion to these goddamn satanists and traitors? Who is the church trying to fool? They spend millions in other countries posturing and meddling, why can't they purchase congresswomen and mayors to push for what they believe in?

#10  I think calling yourself a devout anything puts you in the category of the pharisee whose prayer was contrasted to the publican's.

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are...

#9  Epoch Times:

An archbishop on Thursday responded to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s claim that she is a devout Catholic who supports abortion.

“Let me repeat: no one can claim to be a devout Catholic and condone the killing of innocent human life, let alone have the government pay for it. The right to life is a fundamental—the most fundamental—human right, and Catholics do not oppose fundamental human rights,” San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone said in a statement.

Cordileone is the archbishop of Pelosi’s home diocese.

Last month, Catholic bishops in the United States approved the drafting of a document that may rebuke her, President Joe Biden, and other prominent Catholics who support abortion despite the faith’s teachings.

Biden was denied communion in 2019 over his support of abortion.

Cordileone said earlier this year that he discussed with Pelosi her abstaining from receiving communion because of her position on abortion.

#8  Thou shalt not bear false witness.

This is as false a witness as one can make regarding Catholic Dogma on elective abortions.

There is no "nuance" available for her to wiggle out of this one. It is an out-and-out lie, and if we had a press worth a damn, they would call her out on it.

#5  Lawyers, liars and politicians (but I repeat myself!) use "weasel words": note that she said "catholic" and not Roman Catholic. I am sure that the dogma of the 'Catholic' Church of Progressivism supports her.

#3  But the Church hierarchy won't do anything about her, because they love the political clout she brings.

#2  Pelosi claims Catholic faith

...She keeps using that word. I do not think it means what she thinks it means.

#1  I'm not Catholic. But I don't think the Pope is quite that liberal.
