The following comes from a July 22 CNS News article by Michael W. Chapman:
Because of her strong support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a Catholic, will be presented with the 21st Annual International Role Model Award by the Equality Forum, next week in Philadelphia while the Democratic National Convention is underway.
“We are thrilled to present Leader Pelosi with this prestigious award for her long-standing support and her leadership in advancing LGBT civil rights,” said Malcolm Lazin, the founder and executive director of the Equality Forum.
The award ceremony will take place at the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia, during the convention, on July 28.
Equality Forum is a nonprofit group that “coordinates LGBT History Month, produces documentary films, undertakes high-impact initiatives and presents the largest annual national and international LGBT civil rights summit,” according to its website.
Just wait until her ‘heir apparent’ State Senator Mark “Kiddie Porn King” Leno (a title bestowed by his Democrat party after he tried to make kiddie porn a misdemeanor) takes over.
California’s Fight Over Jessica’s Law

Would the Assembly approve Democrat Mark Leno’s AB 50 or the more sensible Jessica’s Law?
AB 50, as it appeared on the Assembly floor last week, would have allowed 100 items of knowingly possessed child pornography before triggering penalties. “Items” might include CD-ROMs, capable of containing tens of thousands of pornographic images
Under AB 50, it would be possible for an individual to possess nine CD-ROMs, each with hundreds of…
Nancy Pelosi and Tim Caine are NOT faithful Catholics. They have chosen to become international role models for the culture of death.

Planned Parenthood also celebrated Kaine as a man who has “dedicated his life to serving others.” He has a 100% rating from the group, which is America’s largest abortion vendor.

Dear Bishops, Your Humble Flock Needs You Now – Roman Catholic Man
https://www.romancatholicman.com/dear-bishops-humble-flock-needs-now/
How many awards from Lucifer’s Grievously Belligerent Troublemakers has Pelosi received?
She continues to insist that her objectively wrong views and harmful legislative actions are consistent with Catholic faith, giving scandal.
Why hasn’t Archbishop Cordileone made a public statement that she is not to present herself to receive Communion? If ever there was an example of someone in obstinate manifest grave sin, Pelosi is it.
Unlike some other things, there can be no legitimate diversity of opinion among Catholics about the definition of marriage nor the objective disorder of homosexuality or homosexual acts.
CDF 2003:
In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. One must refrain from any kind of formal cooperation in the enactment or application of such gravely unjust laws and, as far as possible, from material cooperation on the level of their application
When legislation in favour of the recognition of homosexual unions is already in force, the Catholic politician must oppose it in the ways that are possible for him and make his opposition known; it is his duty to witness to the truth.
Sawyer, I have asked all the S.F. Archbishops since Quinn, plus the pastors of Pelosi’s local parish– the same question. I get the same answers– the Church really wants no discipline since Vatican II– everyone must have their own conscience– and they seem to fear the disintegration of the Church, and all her institutions, if they become too disciplinary. Also, Pelosi and others give a lot to the Church, in social programs. I have been told such things as, “no one really believes completely in the Church anymore, just follow your own conscience– and “do your own thing,” like everyone else– without me or any other prelate, telling you what to do! It’s nice, isn’t it? Everyone enjoys it! Why not you??”
I will continue, with my above post. It seems that the Church no longer wants to take seriously, her own Christian Faith and Morals! Very shocking! Even the worst sins, are casually ignored, or accepted under a false pretense of religious “tolerance!” COWARDLY!! Maybe lots of clergy and laity are not truly religious– but just are involved with the Church, for social or pure humanitarian reasons (regardless of religious beliefs!), and because they also enjoy it– or enjoy being a part of an institution that has many social programs to help the community and the world! I really think our Church HAS NO MORAL CONSCIENCE TO BEGIN WITH!! A SHOCK!!
President Barack Obama has his degraded, not-very-religious, so-called “faith-based” programs, that are actually very secularized, not too interested in sincere believers’ rights to worship God, and follow their beliefs — they are more directed towards attainment of secular “hippie-leftist” social goals, of establishment of all the sins of the world, as “normal” for our Nation– “freedom for all to sin, if they so choose!” No more discipline! And God–Who’s THAT? No obedience to God, no cultivation of Biblical Judeo-Christian Morality, no training in Good Character, and a Moral Conscience, for our county’s citizens!
Of course– some Archbishops will seem like they are traditional and faithful, in their sermons and writings– but in real-life practice, what are they??? Very discouraging! No discipline! Plus– no way to carry out religious and moral discipline– without the Vatican to approve of it, and support it! Vatican II has tied their hands! It’s really sad! Abp. Cordileone, for example– can only go so far, with enforcing Catholic discipline, in his Catholic schools– and if the Vatican does not support certain things, then laymen and clergy alike, can all go cry to the Pope, who will perhaps give them what they want. Sad!
Rep. Pelosi had one Pastor, whom I sometimes asked after Mass, why he would praise Nancy and Paul Pelosi, and then-Mayor Gavin Newsom (another “Catholic” parishioner!) too, in his sermons, and “welcome” them to Mass, and invite parents to take their children for a talk by these “Catholic” politicians, at the parish school, after Mass! WHY?? “How about Canon 915?” I would say. “These immoral, false “Catholic” politicians, are a great danger to all our children and families!” Next, I’d be told, “Now, you sound very cruel and unloving! You should LOVE these people, and ACCEPT their VIEWS! Each one has their own conscience, and we must respect it!”
This Pastor (which I mentioned, in my post above) is retired, and long gone from this church.
LM, You have more spiritual courage then most. I admire that you tried. God bless you for that. God must have other plans to correct the fallen as I believe He hears the cry of His people lamenting unholy, confusing leaders. With all that is happening, it seems like the faithful are being tested. I fear for those that fail the test. Ms. Pelosi (& her priest, bishop, etc) will be hard pressed to explain away any actions on judgement day that cry out to the Lord. What will be required to atone for a lost soul that says to Jesus, ‘I listened to Ms. Pelosi, so I sinned (ate the apple, example from the bible)’? I think much will be required.
I agree with FTP! God bless you, Linda Maria, for speaking up.
Matthew 10:31-35 Fear not therefore: better are you than many sparrows. Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword. For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Bless you both, From the Pew and Catherine! I am always careful and quick, and respectful– when I bring up painful questions, to our priests and prelates! Always disappointing! Several times, prelates of various kinds have mentioned to me, that I “will be lonely and friendless,” if I am a true Catholic. I always have replied– “so what kinds of “friends,” are you talking about?? These “friends” are not true friends at all! Big deception! Forget it!” I am always nervous about hypocrisy and sacrilege, at Communion time, because Our Lord is so VERY TRULY PRESENT, and is VERY HOLY!!
I have said to some of our prelates, who are so interested in “making friends,” in the Church– “Don’t you CARE about the millions of innocent, helpless babies, killed by abortion– killed by so-called “friends,” who are integrally involved in our churches, and regularly receive Christ’s Sacraments?? Doesn’t that MEAN SOMETHING to you?? What good are such “friends?” And they just laugh! Nothing more I can say or do!
This makes perfect sense — a confused role model for the confused.
FDA Fights Blood Ban in Vein
https://www.frcaction.org/get.cfm?i=WA16G40&f=WU16G12
Less than a year ago, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) did away with an important public health measure to protect the safety of our blood supply — namely, the lifetime deferral of men who have had sex with men (MSM) as blood donors.
This longstanding policy was a sensible precaution based on the extraordinarily high rates of HIV infection among MSM. The FDA replaced it with a deferral only of men who had sex with men in the past year.
Now, even that precaution is under attack
As recently as 2009, the FDA informed the public that: “Men who have had sex with men since 1977 have an HIV prevalence . . . 60 times higher than the general…
FDA Fights Blood Ban in Vein
https://www.frcaction.org/get.cfm?i=WA16G40&f=WU16G12
“Men who have had sex with men since 1977 have an HIV prevalence . . . 60 times higher than the general population, 800 times higher than first time blood donors and 8000 times higher than repeat blood donors.”
These risks are enough to justify the previous lifetime deferral; they show it would be absurd to abolish the deferral period altogether. The FDA claims its decisions will be based on “scientific information” and declares that “the process must be data-driven.”
If they mean it, they should reject the current calls to ignore the science in the name of political correctness.
More unholy news. Frightening. We (the people) are under attack from so many directions it seems to point to one thing, God has removed some (all?) of His protection from our land. Pray God be with us and the good are not destroyed with the evil.
NANCY is a “Devout Catholic.” so is Tim Kaine, Jo Biden, Mario Cumo, Ted Kennedy, Dick Durbin, Secretary of State Kerry, etc.
I, DEVOUT? Not according to God’s law. The KILLERS, you name above, CANNOT BE devout Catholics BECAUSE of their support for UNHOLY intrinsic evil, abortion & worse, selling baby parts thru PP, their idols. They are leaders in the DEATH-o-cratic party. H. Clinton SAID she supports, FREE ABORTIONS and “Let’s go make it happen!”. IF Kaine were a DEVOUT catholic he would refuse to be on the ticket with HC. You are free to believe lies if you wish, like Adam & Eve listened to the serpent in the garden, but do not MOCK God with your words, claiming evil is good. Pray God enlighten you.
EXCOMMUNICATION TIME!!!! And if she comes back in ‘full communion’ with all of the Church’s teachings…….then she could be reinstated!!!!
Her ‘actions’ are evil!!!!!!
I wouldn’t doubt that AB Cordileone hasn’t spoken to her about not receiving Our Lord in Holy Communion, and I wouldn’t doubt if she wouldn’t listen.
I keep praying for her though……..
I remember when I asked a mother of eleven who volunteered at a pro life crisis pregnancy center what she felt about a Catholic politician who voted for abortion but helped the poor. Her answer was, “You do not help the poor by killing their children.”
after having attended all the Masses ever said in human history (up to that point in time) AND having received Holy Communion, I guess you could say that Judas Iscariot was a “devout Catholic.”
In an interview yesterday Pelosi was asked why the blue collar white males were so much more supportive of Trump over Clinton. Her answer was “guns, gays and God”. Wow, what a bigoted response! This is a similar comment Obama gave to fund raisers in California some time ago. Looks like blue collar white males have targets on their backs!
Here is Pelosi’s quote: I think that so many times white, non-college education — educated white males have voted Republican. They voted against their own economic interests because of guns, because of gays, and because of God, the three G’s — “God” being the women’s right to choose.
That last phrase was so astounding to me so I looked it up. I hope Pelosi will clarify what she meant by that because it is absurd and offensive on its face.
Pelosi is absurd and offensive herself. You expect a hardcore leftist like her to make sense?
