The Church hasn’t supported her!
This is interesting twist on the Church’s politics from both Amy and Rob: (NOTE: The speaker is her daughter, Alexandra)
During Nancy Pelosi’s speaker celebrations this month, as the Pelosi clan drove through the streets of Washington and Baltimore together, some protesters held up signs that read, “Pelosi Preys on Children” — a reference to the speaker’s pro-choice stand, which contradicts church doctrine.
“ My mother, throughout her entire life, has been faithful to the church, even though the church has not been that faithful to her because of her politics. And I think that takes a lot of perseverance,” she says. “And still, people protest her right to go to her own church.”
Um, wow. This is really spin at its worst, because it makes no sense. She is not, and cannot befaithful to the Church if she doesn’t follow Church teachings!! Hello! This is the most basic tenet of any religion. If you don’t follow what it believes, then you aren’t being faithful. She is rabidly pro-choice. Rabidly. We all know that. That’s totally against Catholic doctrine. To have the temerity to say that the church hasn’t been faithful to her is just a statement that is beyond ridiculous.
How she cannot be denied communion in D.C. is just beyond me.
