Bishops correct Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Church leaders issued a statement in response to Nancy Pelosi's fraudulent remarks made on NBC's "Meet the Press." When asked about the Church's standing on when life begins, Pelosi responded in her usual self-serving manner:

"I would say that as an ardent, practicing Catholic, this is an issue that I have studied for a long time. And what I know is over the centuries, the doctors of the church have not been able to make that definition . . . St. Augustine said at three months. We don't know. The point is, is that it shouldn't have an impact on the woman's right to choose."

Church officials respond, from Catholic Online:

The Diocese of Fargo released a letter Wednesday written by Bishop Aquila who said that while the remarks "created confusion in regard to Catholic teaching," those familiar with it "can easily recognize the flaws in her remarks."

Respect life

"The Christian teaching on abortion throughout history is unchanged," he continued. "Human life from the moment of conception is to always be respected, treated with dignity, and protected.

"Catholics who support so called abortion rights support a false right, promote a culture of death."

"Out of respect for the teaching of Jesus Christ and the Church," added Bishop Aquila, "any Catholic who supports abortion rights has placed himself or herself outside of visible unity with the Church and thus should refrain from receiving holy Communion."


From Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. and Bishop James D. Conley representing the Archidiocese of Denver:

Of course, we now know with biological certainty exactly when human life begins. Thus, today's religious alibis for abortion and a so-called "right to choose" are nothing more than that - alibis that break radically with historic Christian and Catholic belief.

Abortion kills an unborn, developing human life. It is always gravely evil, and so are the evasions employed to justify it. Catholics who make excuses for it - whether they're famous or not - fool only themselves and abuse the fidelity of those Catholics who do sincerely seek to follow the Gospel and live their Catholic faith.

The duty of the Church and other religious communities is moral witness. The duty of the state and its officials is to serve the common good, which is always rooted in moral truth. A proper understanding of the "separation of Church and state" does not imply a separation of faith from political life. But of course, it's always important to know what our faith actually teaches.[/align][/align]

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church

2270: Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception, From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person-among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life.

Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you. Jer. 1:5
My frame was not hidden from you, when I being made in secret, intricately wrought in the depths of the earth,
Ps. 139:15

2271: Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law.


The Catechism goes on to condemnformal cooperation in an abortion, calling for excommunication, and also condemns the society which creates "a law depriving a category of human beings of the protection which civil legislation ought to accord them,"



Sorry, Nancy, but you're DEAD WRONG on this one!

I wish I could be objective about the woman, but the truth is I just can't stand the sight of her!
