The following comes from a January 13 LifeSiteNews article by Ben Johnson:
After decades as a crusader against any restriction or regulation of abortion, Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi said yesterday, “I don’t believe in abortion on demand.”
The House Minority Leader, who regularly earns a zero percent rating from the National Right to Life Committee, told Roll Call on Tuesday that she is “with the program” of the Catholic Church when it comes to abortion.
“I don’t believe in abortion on demand, I don’t believe in abortion on demand,” she said, repeating herself, during a videotaped interview with Melinda Henneberger. “I don’t even like to use the word.”
However, NARAL Pro-Choice America slammed the former Speaker’s comments as “troubling,” “disappointing and ill-advised.”
She also proclaimed her Catholic faith during the interview in unusually strong terms, using the word “Catholic” four times in a matter of seconds. The San Francisco Democrat said she is “a Catholic – a devout, practicing Catholic” who comes from “a very Catholic family.”
“I’m with the program in terms of the Catholic Church,” she said.
But Pelosi had previously called abortion “sacred ground” and stated that the Catholic Church did not reject abortion until “like maybe 50 years or something like that.”
Of course, the Christian Church has rejected abortion since its founding.
Maybe all of our prayers over many years for Rep. Pelosi are having an effect. Think of St. Monica and her son, Augustine! Perhaps, Ms. Pelosi has finally seen the light- let’s keep praying for her!
Hardly Bob One , watch the interview and you will see….she is staunchly pro-abortion who should have been excommunication a long time ago…
This person is her own pope, bishop, spiritual director, and perhaps even god. The only thing that would make my statement illogical is that she has no gray matter in her brain. If this were fifty years ago, she would have been excommunicated, not only for her evil words, but also for her wicked deeds. Ave Maria Purrissima !
Me thinks Ms. Pelosi’s conscience is getting to her. Perhaps she realizes that she is on the road to perdition if she does not make some changes pretty fast. Yes, by all means pray for her before it is too late. Her “god” has been radical feminism and radical feminists for far too long.
Keep up the prayers for Nancy and also pray for Jackie Speier too!
Rep. Nancy Pelosi is a BIG SHOCK!! She has always INSANELY insisted that she is a true, practicing Catholic, while defending every sin under the sun!! Will she someday come out with a big conversion story, like former Planned Parenthood director, Abby Johnson? Will she lead the big San Francisco March for Life, someday– and eagerly help Abp. Cordileone lead the March for Marriage, in Washington, D.C.– which she so violently attacked him for?? Will she and her husband, Paul, turn into good Catholics, like Sen. Rick Santorum, and his wife Karen– and write a book about her big conversion??
Noting this woman says has no value until its witnessed her walking out of the confessional, flying back to Washington standing in front of her fellow Democrats & Republicans stating she is against Abortion period.
There has never been an abortion bill that Nancy Pelosi did not vote for.
March, 2014 Nancy Pelosi was awarded the Planned Parenthood Federation of America Margaret Sanger Award, their highest recognition of leadership, excellence, and outstanding contributions in supporting abortions.
The problem with Pelosi is that she has never been confronted by a bishop.
If she starts to demand a boder wall, she will be confronted and condemned quickly!
Yes Nancy was spoken to her Bishopin California and also Cardinal Weurl as she also lives in Washington DC. I believe but neither insisted that she refrain from Holy Communion. Actually they both punted.
Every pro-choice politician has been told not to present themselves for communion.
How, dear Nancy, would your politics be any different if you weren’t “with the program”?
And Bruce Jenner claims he’s a woman. Lots of people are sadly deluded but we do not have to indulge their fantasies. Pray for them and do not be afraid to point out their errors, in charity, it’s what we owe them.
California Catholic Daily used to run a series of articles entitled “Faces of the American Holocaust.” They discussed pro-abortion politicians and havoc they wreaked. Nancy Pelosi was featured on 1 March 2012.
I’m talking totally out of school here but… I’ve always
wondered a bit about this woman’s mental state. I’m not a mental not a mental health professional of any kind but to me, she just seems a bit OTL and I mean, scary OTL!
We would all like a Life Size Picture of Nancy Pelosi on the front page of every newspaper in the U.S. returning the award she received from Planned Parenthood – at a National Planned Parenthood gathering and proclaiming that she is against abortion. I do believe she is for killing babies born alive during an abortion and voted for this.. This fact is verified any place you would like to check. Nancy Pelosi does not know how to tell the truth and she is good at puling the wool over the eyes of many priests, Bishops, Archbishops and Cardinals. Many of us Pro Lifers are not that easily fooled.
In response to Anonymous, in Christian Charity I have often wondered if Nancy Pelosi has not had a mental breakdown. And I would say this goes back a few years. How could anyone who claims to be a devout Catholic – proudly receive the Margaret Sanger award from Planned Parenthood and be so happy about it. That just does not make any sense.
I’m wondering how any political person who favors abortion can call themselves true Catholics. I myself know many people who are, in their words, devout Catholics who favor abortion on demand. How does that work?
Bob One : I myself know many people who are, in their words, devout Catholics who favor abortion on demand. How does that work?” Answer it doesn’t these people are liars to God who is not fooled.
God, of course, can change the hardest of hearts, but one needs to look closely at her language and actions to see if Ms. Pelosi has recanted of her heresy and embraced the Church on serving the cause of life. Sadly, Congresswoman Pelosi usually seeks to twist the language of the Gospel — don’t judge, everything done in the “name of love” is OK, that kind of thing — to support her demonic philosophy.
But, even if she is lying, Ms. Pelosi can still get communion of C. Wuerl, who refuses to even recognize Canon 915. And, of course, she can continue to support homosexual marriage, consistent with her same goofy beliefs. Why vote for a woman that lies about her Faith?
Study your Catholicity lady!
Pelosi and Catholicism mix like oil and water. LOL
Fidel Castro said in the early 1960’s, that he was not a communist. That’s a lie. Hillary, whenever she opens her mouth, also lies. Nancy does the same thing, whether it is about Catholic Church issues, lawful ones, or historical ones. Most establishment politicians lie most of the time. Ave Maria Purrissima !
