Pope rebukes Speaker of the House Pelosi

It's diplomatically worded -

Pope: Catholic politicians must protect life

The Vatican released remarks by the pope to Pelosi, saying Benedict spoke of the church's teaching "on the dignity of human life from conception to natural death." That is an expression often used by the pope when expressing opposition to abortion.

Benedict said all Catholics—especially legislators, jurists and political leaders—should work to create "a just system of laws capable of protecting human life at all stages of its development."

Pelosi could not immediately be reached after the 15-minute meeting, which was closed to reporters and photographers. The two met in a small room of a Vatican auditorium after the pope's weekly public audience.

A number of the bishops in the United States have questioned Pelosi's stance on abortion, particularly her theological defense of her support for abortion rights.

Pelosi's support for abortion amounts to "aiding and abetting in the commission of a moral and theological crime" and she should be sentenced to excommunication until she recants and swears to uphold the laws of the organization - aka The Catholic Church - to which she claims membership.

It's great that at last the pope can manage a statement that's "diplomaically worded." given his "foot-in-mouth" tendency.

A classic example was his insensative quoting an obsure ancient text insulting Islam on a visit to Germany, directly contradicting the church teaching in "Nostrs Aetate" on the church's position on Islam:

"This sacred synod urges all to forget the past and to work sincerely for mutual understanding and to preserve as well as to promote together for the benefit of all mankind social justice and moral welfare, as well as peace and freedom."

Forget tghe past?
