"Nancy Pelosi Preaches. Archbishop Cordileone Responds"

Ugh. It's all here. Thank you Archbishop Cordileone.

At her Thursday Press Conference, Speaker Nancy Pelosi once again preaches on abortion as a "devout Catholic."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday defended efforts to permit federal funding of elective abortions, and cited her own Catholic faith while doing so.

A draft spending bill that was recently approved by the House Appropriations Committee would allow for federal funding of elective abortions in Medicaid. It excludes the Hyde Amendment, federal policy since 1976 which prohibits funding of most abortions in Medicaid.

 

Archbishop Cordileone immediately responds. His full statement is here:

Let me repeat: no one can claim to be a devout Catholic and condone the killing of innocent human life, let alone have the government pay for it.  The right to life is a fundamental – the most fundamental – human right, and Catholics do not oppose fundamental human rights.  To use the smokescreen of abortion as an issue of health and fairness to poor women is the epitome of hypocrisy: what about the health of the baby being killed?  What about giving poor women real choice, so they are supported in choosing life?  This would give them fairness and equality to women of means, who can afford to bring a child into the world. It is people of faith who run pro-life crisis pregnancy clinics; they are the only ones who provide poor women life-giving alternatives to having their babies killed in their wombs.  I cannot be prouder of my fellow Catholics who are so prominent in providing this vital service.  To them I say: you are the ones worthy to call yourselves “devout Catholics”!

To paraphrase St. Timothy, one of Christ’s
desciples, There will come a time when
people not longer accept sound doctrine.
And often when Nancy Pelosi, I am reminded
that we have indeed reached that time.

The Biden administration which is being directed by former President Obama is taking advantage of every anti-human life opportunity it can bring into national law, during their two reign of complete power. They have this power until the next election. Thank yo Arch Bishop Cordileone for standing up to this evil delusional woman.
