Politics Daily has a good piece calling out Nancy Pelosi for months and months of publically proclaiming to be an “ardent and practicing Catholic”, yet getting every fact about the faith wrong.
“Interviewed by Eleanor Clift for Newsweek’s year-end issue, Pelosi capped an 18-month succession of clamorously incorrect public statements about what Catholics believe with her own take on the meaning of freedom.”
Perhaps in one of the Speaker’s bigger gaffe’s regarding the Catholic faith, in response to a question on when life begins, around the time of the 2008 Presidential election on Meet the Press, she said – “I would say that as an ardent, practicing Catholic, this is an issue that I have studied for a long time. And what I know is, over the centuries, the doctors of the church have not been able to make that definition.”
I remember our priests at Sunday Mass absolutely livid over her statements. Because she’s a public figure, many bishops thankfully stood up and did their job of helping to lead souls to the truth and declare her statements completely false and against Church teaching.
The article is definitely worth a read and is getting a lot of commentary from readers. Check it out here.
