Pelosi, Pope Have No Meeting of the Minds

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi met Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican Wednesday morning, but may not have had a meeting of the minds if the two statements from their offices are any indication.

No journalists were at the 15-minute encounter and the Vatican and the speaker's offices have not released any photos. However, according to their statements it appears the pope and the politician attended two different get-togethers.

"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," the Vatican wrote, having released the statement moments before the two met.

Several hours later, Pelosi's office gave her take on the tete-a-tete.

"It is with great joy that my husband, Paul, and I met with his Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI today," Pelosi said in a statement released hours after the meeting. "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."

The pontiff has a long history of urging Catholic politicians to toe the line on abortion, and has said that those who don't shouldn't take communion. Pelosi supports abortion rights and says she's never been denied communion at her church in San Francisco.

Liberals pick & choose which parts of the Bible to believe just like they do with following the Constitution.  They consider both to be "living documents".

Anyone surprised that Bella Pelosi failed to mention that the Pope told her to quit supporting the killing of babies?

Bela Pelosi wanted a photo op, and didn't get it.

Ha ha.

A natural-enough outcome, given that a "Meeitng of the minds" would necessarily require two minds.

Why did the Pope even bother to meet with her?  She wasn't going to listen to what he has to say, even though, by doctrine, what he says on the faith that she claims as her own is infallible.  She is so far outside the teachings of the Church that he has said she shouldn't recieve communion.  Just excommunicate her and be done with it.  :fuelfire:
