The Vatican issued this statement after Pope Benedict XVI met briefly with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a self-described "ardent Catholic" who supports abortion, gay "rights," and lots of other stuff that's verboten by Church teaching.
"His Holiness took the opportunity to speak of the requirements of the natural moral law and the Church's consistent teaching on the dignity of human life from conception to natural death which enjoins all Catholics, and especially legislators, jurists and those responsible for the common good of society, to work in cooperation with all men and women of good will in creating a just system of laws capable of protecting human life at all stages of its development."
Speaker Pelosi is arguably, along with Vice President Joe Biden, the nation's most conspicuous Catholic disputant in government. Only a few weeks ago, she asserted that contraception should be made more widely available in order salvage the tanking economy. Less children = Less costs. Her faulty grasp on economics was also on full display, as more people = greater productivity and an increase in capital. But that's another story.
Just how will Pelosi spin this privileged encounter so as to most efficaciously bury the glaring inconsistency of her professed Catholicism and her committed support for the "right" to terminate the lives of unborn children?
