lol wtf, this woman is just beyond belief. she is catholic and her religious leader told her that she cant be a catholic and support abortion. what does her camp do? they release a press statement that is doesn't even come close to what was said in the meeting.

the pope should have excommunicated her on the spot. that would have been delicious.

I'm not sure why people choose to belong to a church who's beliefs they don't follow. Whats the point? If you don't believe in the core of Christianity, then don't be one..

Its politics. If it gets them votes to say they are Catholic or Christian, then they will be Catholic or Christian. People like Pelosi sold their soul to the devil long ago.

Getting excommunicated would have increased her support in SF. The pope should get off his high chair, the catholic church murdered too many people to be lecturing anyone on life.

Pretty sure a majority of catholics in this country have the same feelings as her, it's the pope who's out of touch.

He has more important things to do anyways, like promoting holocaust deniers and pedophiles.

They're like Mark McGwire - they don't like to talk about the past. :laugh:

The Catholic Church is retarded when it comes to sticking with its ideals. Take a look at birth control and Africa: The Church wants to reduce poverty, suffering, and abortions as one goal, yet at the same time, they don't allow for birth control, thus increasing the chances of all three of the previous goals failing. At times, it seems like the Catholic Church has a problem of building a house without a foundation, compromising the smaller ideals for the really large ones.

I was just typing this. Her husband was with her. Who paid for this trip?

For someone who has so much concern for green causes, she sure doesn't think twice about flying.

Probably because she wasn't meeting him in an official capacity as representing the United States? Why is that embarrassing?

I wonder what % of federal politicians actually believe in a god. I can almost guarantee that it's not 100% like it says on paper.

No, she wasn't visiting on an official capacity, but she is the speaker of the House so she still does represent us. Just like soldiers in the streets of Baghdad represent the United States.

And if some soldiers saw the Pope, would anyone complain that they were embarrassing our country as only the Secretary of State was supposed to be there?

So you can only be a part of the Catholic Church if you believe everything? You're not allowed to object with finer points of Church doctrine? Seems like a pretty ridiculous assertion you've made.

For some reason people think it's more important to belong to a church and pretend you are a moral person rather than not belong to a church and actually be a moral person. This is true in politics and pretty much in the larger population as well.

And no, I'm not saying that all people who go to church only pretend to be moral. Plenty of them do, though.

I'm also not talking about abortion specifically.

That's completely absurd. I don't know anyone who agrees with everything their church stands for.

People like to pay lip service to the preservation of life, while at the same time committing murder. Helps clear their conscience or something. That is why they claim to be catholic when they aren't.
