Last Saturday afternoon, in Washington, D.C., an aide to Nancy Pelosi visited the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese in Washington D.C. He told the the Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next day’s Mass, and he asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi to the congregation and say a few words that would include calling Pelosi a saint.
The Cardinal replied, “No. I can't really do that - there are issues of conflict with the Catholic Church's teaching over certain of Pelosi’s views.”
Pelosi’s aide then said, “Look, I’ll write a check here and now for a donation of $100,000 if you’ll just tell the congregation Pelosi is a saint.”
The Cardinal thought about it and said, “Well, the poor can use the money, so I’ll work your request into tomorrow’s sermon.”
As Pelosi’s aide promised, Nancy Pelosi appeared for Sunday mass and seated herself prominently at the forward left side of the center aisle. As promised, at the start of his sermon, the Cardinal pointed out that Ms. Pelosi was present.The Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation, “While Ms. Pelosi’s presence is probably an honor to some, this woman is not numbered among my personal favorite personages. Some of her most egregious views, such as her stance on abortion, are directly contrary to tenets of the Church, and she tends to flip- flop on many other issues.
Nancy Pelosi is a petty, self-absorbed hypocrite. Nancy Pelosi is also a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief. I must say, Nancy Pelosi is the worst example of a Catholic I have ever personally witnessed. She married for money and is using her wealth to lie to the American people. She also has a reputation for shirking her representative obligations both in Washington, and in California. The woman is simply not to be trusted.”
The Cardinal concluded, “But, when compared with President Obama, Ms. Pelosi is a saint.”
