House Squeaker
Nancy Pelosi tried to paint her visit this week with Pope Benedict as a meeting of the minds, but his holiness just wasn't havin' it. Pelosi's taxpayer-funded boondoggle, hatched to clear the air with those pesky pro-life Catholics, included a demand for a one on one with the pontiff. Her office press statement of the visit tells one story:
"It is with great joy that my husband, Paul, and I met with His Holiness, Pope
Benedict XVI, today. In our conversation, I had the opportunity to praise the
Church’s leadership in fighting poverty, hunger, and global warming, as well as
the Holy Father’s dedication to religious freedom and his upcoming trip and
message to Israel. I was proud to show His Holiness a photograph of my family’s
papal visit in the 1950s, as well as a recent picture of our children and
grandchildren."
Charming, right? But the statement from the Holy See paints an entirely different picture about the Pope's view of Pelosi wanting to kill more babies. Say what you want about the guy's hat, but he didn't play patsy to Nancy.
"Following the General Audience, the Holy Father briefly greeted Mrs. Nancy
Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, together with her
entourage. 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 until natural death, which enjoin 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
development."
