Few would have guessed it, but Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi has become quite the outspoken Catholic. In last month’s Catholic Community Conference in Washington, she testified that amnesty for illegal aliens would be a “manifestation of our living the Gospels,” and that our legislative paths should be paved by the concepts found in the word of God. Specifically, she alluded to the scriptural reference of Jesus Christ, the embodiment of “the Word made flesh.”
But Pelosi’s legislative record does not suggest there is any truth to this spiritual proclamation. She has actually been one of the biggest obstacles to the passing of legislation supported by Christian doctrine, and it takes only a brief glance at Pelosi’s history to deduce that this speech was just lip service to a group of people that would find such notions agreeable. There have been many occasions on which Pelosi has failed to protect Christian values when she has had the ability to do so.
Take, for example, an incident in September 2007, where the Concerned Women of America organization petitioned elected officials to take the city of San Francisco to task for their offensive advertisement for the Folsom Street Fair. The city had agreed to use taxpayer dollars to promote an advertised corruption of Leonardo Da Vinci’s The Last Supper, with Jesus Christ replaced by a shirtless man surrounded by homosexual sadomasochists. Furthermore, there was photographic evidence from past years to prove that San Francisco police sat idly by during the event while young children watched public displays of sex and debauchery. The group implored that Pelosi address the offensive use of taxpayer funds and that she ensure that public lewdness laws would be enforced during the event.
How did devout Madam Pelosi respond to the taxpayers’ moral concerns about such public depravity and offensiveness? Her press secretary released the statement, “As a Catholic, the speaker is confident that Christianity has not been harmed.”
In what interpretation of the scripture could Madam Pelosi possibly find it acceptable to portray Jesus Christ as an alleged homosexual that would condone or engage in deviant sex with other men? Practicing Christians of even the most liberal dispositions would agree that such representations of Christ are sacrilegious. And in what sect of Christianity is it harmless to subject children to the viewing of wanton sexual acts? Certainly not in Catholicism, and human decency alone dictates that this is vile and immoral. More…
But rather than protecting basic Christian values, Pelosi used her religion as a shield, granting herself immunity from condemnation by employing the preface “as a Catholic.” Her press secretary’s response suggests to her Christian constituents that if they are offended by public sexual acts or the defamation of images of Jesus Christ, then they should just relax. If there was anything to be offended about from a Christian point of view, Pelosi would know about it, because she’s Catholic. In this way, Pelosi avoided upsetting her homosexual constituency and simply ignored the assault upon Christianity by feigning devotion to Catholicism.

Editor’s Note: Nancy Pelosi is NOT an orthodox Roman Catholic. She is a CINO, Catholic in name only…SHE DOES NOT SPEAK FOR THE ROMAN CHURCH. Her knowledge of Catholicism and Church History is nil. She is ignorant of the facts and spews lies one after another. Evertime she brings up her “supposed” Faith she makes a fool of herself. Now, given that, her Bishop, Archbishop George H.Niederauer has been an abysmal failure as head of the Archdiocese of San Francisco. His soul is in mortal danger from his lack of witnessing to the truth and violating Canon 1752. 1752 stresses, namely, that “the salvation of souls [is] the supreme law in the Church.” Salvation is not, in the end, a work of law, but one of love. As such, it is a work toward which we all can, and must, contribute. Archbishop Niedrauer, we pray for YOUR soul…. Ad majorem Dei gloriam, Sofia
