All that money for lunch with Nancy and aging hippie Jesuits. There is more pleasure eating a five dollar foot long from subway alone.

Abortion is a crime against humanity - both the natural and moral laws. It deprives the most innocent and most helpless of their God given right to life. It is murder for convenience. It violates God's 5th Commandment - Thou shall not kill. It is time for this obstinate heretic to be excommunicated due to her SCANDAL and obstinate persistance in supporting abortion.

Once again, the inactivity of Archbishop Niederauer makes us all look like incompetent, hypocritical fools because our doctrines are not worth fighting for! This continuing insult to our Lord is maddening! Bishops must EARN my respect, and too many are terribly lacking in the guts department. They are called to LEAD their flocks, not to kiss up to the DNC and their liberal cohorts! When is the Vatican going to realize the damage that is done every time something like this is made public??? (I have given up on the USCCB acting on behalf of the Church!) I continue to pray and hope that everyone here will do the same... in addition to contacting their bishop, the USCCB, and the Vatican!

It is PAST time for an excommunication ab homine! One of the Kenedy's got the hint after their meeting with their bishop (And got out of politics!). This is disgusting and an insult to God! This will ONLY end if we follow through with what GOD has told us to do...excommunicate her ab homine and refuse her the HONOR of being publicly identified as Catholic!

Give her money so she can further fund planned parenthood. Georgetown should be ashamed of itself. I wouldn't go if she paid me $125.

My God, just what IS it going to take for her to be excommunicated? Ann Coulter wasn't kidding about the lengths Democrats go to to keep government funding for Planned Butcherhood in her latest commentary, which is replete with zingers that are to behold. You can read for yourself by doing a Google search using "On this aborted fetus, the Democrats plant their flag" as the search words. By the way, a friend of mine and I should be shown on the KGET Channel 17 news tonight keeping vigil outside the abortion clinic in Bakersfield as part of the 40 Days for Life campaign. It will be about a 14-year-old girl claiming to have been traumatized by another friend of mine planting a cross in memory of the baby she aborted.

If one is a rich politician, such as Nancy Pelosi ("ardent practicing Catholic") or the late Sen. Edward Kennedy and other pro-abortion Catholic politicians, it's OK to be pro-abortion and pro-contraception, but for ordinary Catholics it would be a mortal sin. That's not what it says in the Catechism of the Catholic Church? Perhaps Archbishop Niederauer should do more than "counsel" Pelosi. It didn't take Bishop Olmsted in Phoenix long to convince the nun at the Catholic hospital to recant her position on abortion.

Picture the word father in your mind....What image comes to mind? Strong, Assertive, Wise, Protector. Picture the name Judas...What does this bring to your mind? Betrayer. The time of PassOver is near and of Jesus betrayal by one who ate,talked,traveled and lived with Him. Assumed to be close,yet he betrayed Him. Many today called Father, wearing priestly garb and supposedly close to Him our in fact Betrayers of Him as they do not in His hour of need defend or protect Jesus , His Church or flocks. They refuse to shake off the dust of these scandalous apostates Catholics .How much longer is the laity going to allow and tolerate this insult to our Lord to go on? Its up to us.

Pelosi describes herself as a "practicing Catholic". I wonder how she practices it. I wonder what her definition of "practicing Catholic" is. By her example, satan and all the souls in hell can call themselves "practicing Catholics". She probably believes they really are! The problem is with the Hierarchy. Pelosi should have been excommunicated a long time ago. But the Hierarchy practices too much false charity.

30 years ago it would've been very difficult to separate the sheep from the "goats"but today it's very easy. Always pray for the shepherds. Perhaps Ms Peosi should discribe herself as former sheep or a practicing goat.

ATTENTION - the US HOUSE just voted a few hours ago on Defunding Planned Parenthood and all of its Affilates. Voting to DEFUND were: Republicans 231 yeas, 7 nays, 1 not voting: Democrats 10 yeas, 178 nays, 4 not voting. Go to clerk house gov and click on HR 36 then Roll for 271 to find your House Representative. * * * SENATE just voted in favor of funding Planned Parenthood, 42 to 58. - 42 Republicans voted to defund, 5 Republicans and all 53 Democrats voted to fund PP. If yours is Catholic and voting to continue funding Planned Parenthood, send the name to your own Diocese Bishop with an explanation asap. ***** For Senate names and verification go to: senate gov legislative HCR 36. This is expected and not a loss. Not only will the Bishops be told for future reference and correction, but we will know for our own voting records. In case anyone is waiting with bated breath, Nancy Polosi voted nay - which means she supports funding Planned Parenthood.

I don't care what Pelosi calls herself, she is not, NOT a Catholic, and she does not practice the Catholic faith, in any way,shape or form. I wonder what she does practice: more like the Scandalous faith, not Catholic. Yet her bishop who "counseled" her allows her to go around pronouncing herself as a Catholic. Well, maybe some of us who actully DO practice the true Catholic faith should show up at that luncheon, wiht a few signs and when she gets up to spout off about that, we could hold up our signs that maybe say "NOT!" when she claims being Catholic. Just hold up the sign. That should get her attention, and the attention of everyone else in the room. Just a quiet to the point sign so that she will think twice the next time she thinks she wants to claim she is Catholic. I would pay to see that!!!

For all of the ways she has irked many over the years ("alright, let's hear it for the power!" -- remember that one?), I give her massive respect for one time in a run of the mill interview, she was asked what are her favorite words (plural); the chirpy beltway interviewer was clearly setting her up to dole out liberal pablum like "diversity" etc. Pelosi, without any hesitation, said, "It is not words, but one word, Jesus Christ, The Word." Total non sequitur. The interviewer literally made no comment, just paused, stunned, and moved on to next unrelated question. I was sweeping my barn listening to a little radio. I stopped and thought, wow, that is the most gospel thing I have heard a politician say during my entire life, with no close second. Not only gospel, but the actual use of "the Word", "Jesus", and "Christ" all in one sentence, in a secular interview to boot, not giving a eulogy, etc. She must've been absolutely overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit at that moment. We are all sinners (Peter standing at the brazier), but He can speak through us at any time He chooses, and when he does we do not need to prepare what we will say, the eloquence and ring of truth will be devastating.
$125 for two-hour lunch with Pelosi
Former House Speaker to host luncheon at Georgetown University alumni event in San Francisco
The Saturday luncheon, scheduled from noon until 2 p.m., is part of a four-day “John Carroll Weekend” sponsored by Washington, D.C.-based Georgetown, which describes itself as “the nation’s oldest Catholic and Jesuit university.”
“Since 1952, John Carroll Weekend has traveled to a different city each year, gathering the local Georgetown community and alumni, parents and friends from around the globe to celebrate the best of Georgetown,” says the event’s website. “The weekend of educational, social and cultural events offers participants the chance to engage with one another and with Georgetown’s outstanding faculty and university leaders, and to learn more about the host city.”
Tickets for the luncheon with Pelosi are $125 ($112 for “young alumni”), according to the website. Admission is limited to “Georgetown alumni, parents, family members, friends, students and faculty, as well as industry and political leaders…”
“According to OnTheIssues.com, Pelosi is rated ‘100% by NARAL, indicating a pro-choice voting record’ and “0% by the NRLC,” notes The Cardinal Newman Society, which monitors events and programs at colleges and universities that describe themselves as Catholic. “The site reports that Pelosi even voted NO on banning partial-birth abortion.”
Earlier this year, Pelosi, D-San Francisco, vowed to rally the public against a series of anti-abortion measures now pending in Congress. “Pelosi described the GOP push as the ‘most radical assault’ on women's reproductive rights ‘in our lifetimes,’” the Washington Post reported, based on a Feb. 10 conference call Pelosi made to supporters. “And she was equally blunt in her assessment of right-wing assaults on family planning. ‘They are at a different philosophical place,’ she said, characterizing their view as: ‘all engagement has to result in a child.’ Pelosi noted that contraception and family planning is ‘not consistent with their belief that it's all about procreation.’”
Despite her self-professed Catholicism, Pelosi has established an ongoing and well-known record of dissent on Church teachings regarding abortion, embryonic stem-cell research, and natural marriage. On December 21, 2009 Pelosi said, “I practically mourn this difference of opinion (over abortion) because I feel what I was raised to believe is consistent with what I profess, and that we are all endowed with a free will and a responsibility to answer for our actions. And that women should have the opportunity to exercise their free will.”
That statement provoked a response from San Francisco’s Archbishop George Niederauer, who said: "While we deeply respect the freedom of our fellow citizens, we nevertheless are profoundly convinced that free will cannot be cited as justification for society to allow moral choices that strike at the most fundamental rights of others. Such a choice is abortion, which constitutes the taking of innocent human life, and cannot be justified by any Catholic notion of freedom."
In a Meet the Press interview on August 24, 2008, Pelosi told moderator Tom Brokaw, who quizzed her about when human life begins, “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.”
Within 24 hours, four archbishops and one bishop publicly upbraided Pelosi for those remarks.
Archbishop Niederauer personally counseled Pelosi about her views on abortion and other moral issues, Pelosi revealed in an interview with Newsweek magazine published Dec. 21, 2010. But Pelosi revealed she apparently had no intentions of changing her opinions, regardless of the archbishop’s advice. “I have some concerns about the church's position respecting a woman's right to choose,” Pelosi said in the interview with Newsweek’s Eleanor Clift. “I have some concerns about the church's position on gay rights. I am a practicing Catholic, although they're probably not too happy about that. But it is my faith.”
According to the John Carroll Weekend website, the San Francisco area is home to more than 5000 Georgetown graduates. “For four days in spring 2011, Georgetown will celebrate and explore the many ties and rich cultural and intellectual heritage that unite The City by the Bay with the campus by the river,” according to the website. “Sponsored by the Georgetown University Alumni Association, John Carroll Weekend will also showcase how Georgetown alumni have contributed to the many innovations for which the Bay Area is known, from information technology and social media to green architecture and the organic food movement.”
John Carroll, for whom the alumni event is named, founded Georgetown in 1789. He was the first bishop of the Catholic Church in the U.S.
