Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) described herself as both a “devout” and “practicing” Catholic as she defended abortion during remarks made Tuesday.
The California Democrat sat down with Mark K. Updegrove, president and CEO of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library, for an event during Women’s History Month on Tuesday where she discussed the importance of upholding Roe v. Wade.
“I’m a devout Catholic, mother of five children in six years and one week,” Pelosi said, adding that she tells pro-lifers, “When you have five children in six years, then we will talk about it.”
“That was right for me, it’s not for me to say whats for somebody else,” Pelosi said. “Nor is it right for you, nor is it right for the Supreme Court. This has been a precedent of the court that should be upheld by the court.”
The abortion issue “isn’t about what is your religious belief,” Pelosi said. “This really gets me burned up, in case you didn’t notice, because, again, I’m very Catholic – devout, practicing, all of that,” she said.
Pelosi has been repeatedly criticized in the past for touting her Catholicism in connection to her pro-abortion stances, though Catholic doctrine teaches that abortion is “a crime against human life.”
Discussing whether Catholic priests have ever given her any “difficulties” about receiving communion, Pelosi described herself in 2018 as a “regular communicant.”
“I think some of it is regional,” she said in a 2018 interview. “It depends on the bishop in a certain region. Fortunately, for me it has not — Communion has not been withheld and I’m a regular communicant so that would be a severe blow to me if that were the case.”

“I’m a devout Catholic, mother of five children in six years and one week,” Pelosi said, adding that she tells pro-lifers, “When you have five children in six years, then we will talk about it.”
Is she saying she has credibility because she didn’t abort one or more of her children? Or is she saying that having 5 children in 6 years laudable only if you’re white and privileged? I wonder if she acknowledges the degree to which abortion makes adoption orders of magnitude more difficult, not that that fact hasn’t been pointed out to her only to be ignored.
She is saying that having all those kids makes her a good Catholic.
How many of her kids have left the faith or practice it the way she does?
Actually I got it wrong. Her daughter said of her “She will cut your head off and you won’t know your bleeding. That is all you need to know about her.”
Speaker Pelosi is saying that she is more pro-life than pro-life people. She is more pro-life than you.
This is advanced narcissistic fighting. She changes the definition of the word to elevate herself. In the true definition of pro-life, she is at the bottom (or not even on the chart.) But she changes the definition to make herself at the top.
If the left doesn’t know what a woman is, how can there be a Women’s History Month?
how does one repent
when the mind is GONE?
Humm? It says online that Nancy Pelosi’s oldest daughter is 58 and that she has another adult child that is 50. That is a span of at least eight years. Where does she get five children in six years from?
Her oldest, Nancy Corinne, was born in 1964. Her youngest, Alexandra, was born in 1970.
If the websites tell how old they are, you need to check the publication date.
I double checked and “The Sun” has an article updated July 26, 2021, which lists Alexandria as 50, Paul as 52, Christine as 55 and the oldest (Nancy Corinne) as being being born in 1964, which would make her 58 at that time. a span of at least 8 years. I do not see the other daughter listed but if correct that would be a span of at least 8 years.
On the other hand, there is a Wiki article that says the Pelosi’s were married in 1963, had their oldest daughter a year later and had 6 children by 1970, which would be around 6 years.
Which is correct?
According to the birthdates given on Wiki it is around six years. “The Sun” seems to have made a mess of it. Of course, what time of the year each was born makes difference.
6 years and 1 week would mean that Alexandra born in October 5 then Nancy Corinne would have been born September 29?
“… in case you didn’t notice, because, again, I’m very Catholic – devout, practicing, all of that,” she said.
Well, actually, we haven’t noticed your devotion turning into action. Sometimes your political agenda happens to align with some Catholic social teaching, but, when it doesn’t, you abandon, and even oppose, your supposed faith.
And, why do you keep emphasizing how “devout” you are? That seems a bit Pharisaical, especially during Lent. But, then, maybe I owe the Pharisees an apology. They would never have thought of promoting what you’re promoting. Yet, you know, they too do “all of that.” “You know, the thing,” as our devout president told us.
Putin probably describes himself as a “devout” Orthodox. Calling oneself “devout” means absolutely nothing.
“I’m very Catholic – devout, practicing, all of that,” she said.” liar, liar, will burn in Hell fire
“… will burn in Hell fire.” I have often wondered if her pastor has warned her of this, or is everything a wink and a nod as the prospects of hell for anyone are denied. It is true that nowhere in Catholic teaching is it affirmed that any one person is in hell. From this, it seems a short distance to the position that no one can be in hell, a position I have heard taken by a priest some years ago at the parish I attended at that time. We were both in our early 30s, and I wondered whether or not this priest was reflective of seminary teaching or just his own man theologically. Probably the latter; but if one priest can be so bold, it seems logical to believe more can. Is Pelosi’s pastor one such shepherd, who protects her seared conscience so she can continue to receive communion without worry? IF so he would not be the first to protect pro-aborts, nor the highest ranking priest to do so.

Dear Abp Cordileone:
Apparently, sending her roses didn’t work.
How about some stronger medicine?
Have you ever noticed how devout Catholics don’t call themselves devout Catholics?
It is really only Catholics who are criticized (and can’t handle it) that call themselves that.
“The abortion issue isn’t about what is your religious belief;” because if it were, you, dear Congresswoman, would be a very bad Catholic. And that would upset your carefully crafted narrative.
Nancy Pelosi is a devout Catholic that supports the killing of the unborn baby children. If this sounds confusing it’s because it is.
