Pelosi: ‘I do my religion on Sundays, in church’
Adding to the ever-growing file of “there she goes again…”
NEWS FLASH Nancy Pelosi is only Catholic one day a week. Unfortunately, it is the other 6 days that are problematic.
This is the same Catholic politician who has repeatedly misrepresented the teachings of the Catholic Church, now she claims Bishops in the diocese involved with the recent lawsuits are not speaking for the Catholic Church. Time and again, Popes and Bishops have affirmed Catholic politicians have a moral obligation. We would encourage Leader Pelosi to be Catholic 7 days a week…not just on Sunday. Unfortunately, her voting record and public position on settled issues of the Church just confirm what she said today.
The Washington Examiner reports this afternoon following her weekly press conference that “House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., a Roman Catholic, refused to say whether she supported her church’s teaching that contraception is immoral.”
“I do my religion on Sundays, in church, and I try to go other days of the week; I don’t do it at this press conference,” Pelosi said curtly as a reporter asked about her view of the church position on contraception.
Joel Gehrke continues in his reporting:
Pelosi brushed off the organizations and church dioceses that filed suing the Obama administration over the contraception mandate. “I don’t think that’s the entire Catholic Church,” she said. “Those people have a right to sue, but I don’t think they’re speaking ex cathedra for the Catholic Church.”
In February, Pelosi accused the bishops of falsely using religious liberty arguments to impose their ideology on the country. “It wasn’t about church and state, it was about an ideological point of view that flies in the face, again, of the respect that we need to have to have for women, the God-given free will that we have to have responsibility for the role that women’s health plays in the lives of their families and in our country, and the strength of women,” she said.
I live my faith. I don’t “DO” my religion
Yo! Ms Pelosi. Ever think that what the good sisters in Baltimore taught you was not just for Sunday?
Nancy Pelosi is your typical democratic idiot.The sooner that she leaves,along with Obama and Reid…..the better for this entire nation.
Obviously, that’s why her religion doesn’t show itself and is apparently not practiced, the other six days of the week. I guess, to her, it’s no more than clicking off rosary beads.
Ms. Pelosi, you certainly do not speak “ex cathedra” for the Catholic Church! You are a heretic.
Personally, Pelosi to me is a perfect example of all that is wrong with Washington. She is corrupt and votes what fits her pocketbook, and that of her husband’s companies; check the off shore laws for the Phillipines if you have any doubt of this.
That being said, I cannot stress enough that the very statement that a politician should decide any issues with the church in mind is absolutely unconstitutional and goes against the very principles this country, and even the entire original populating of this continent was founded on. When you ask a government to push through religious doctrine you’d better be ready for them to do the same for ALL religions. What follows that, shall we have laws written in favor of the Muslim, Buddhist, and any other religion that gets a lobby strong enough to buy a few politicians.
One is Catholic through and through, 24/7, in all areas of life. Nancy Pelosi missed something in her basic Catholic education. She needs to get re-educated in our basic beliefs.
You are 100% correct. Couldn’t say it any other way.
You are 100% correct.
I thought I was done being shocked at anything this woman says – but I have to say my jaw is on the floor with this one. This woman has no idea what it means to have a RELATIONSHIP with Christ.
She may be religious, but I don’t’ consider her actions to be Christian.
On Sunday she’s Catholic? Maybe when she heads for the Pearly Gates, St. Peter will tell her she can spend one day in heaven and 6 in hell where she belongs.
She really doesn’t know the Catholic Religion. “ex cathedra” means “on the chair” of Peter and it only applies to the Pope and the bishops speaking in unity with the Pope. And the teaching on contraception has been the teaching of the Catholic Church ever since.
Pope Pelosi needs to find herself a new church.
“Re-educated”? I don’t think she was educated in the first place! She uses the term “ex cathedra” but doesn’t know what she’s talking about by using it! That is a term used by the pope, for making decisions for God’s people in the moral sense, directly from the Holy Spirit. This woman, by the sheer statement she made about “I do my religion on Sunday’s in Church” tells all us Christians how much she DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT RELIGION!!! She definitely DOES NOT KNOW CHRIST!!!!!! She needs to be ex communicated! How can she receive Eucharist???????????????????????????? KEEP TALKING NANCY! IT JUST SHOWS YOUR IGNORANCE OF CHRIST!!!!!!!!! MAYBE THEN PEOPLE WILL THINK ABOUT HOW LITTLE YOU KNOW ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE!!!!!
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ‘The just shall live by faith’,” (Rom. 1:16,17).
So we only live by faith on Sundays??????
If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.” Mark 8:38
One day for church, six days for fun, odds on going to heaven, 6 to 1!
