Pelosi Meets the Pope


Speaker Nancy Pelosi met the Pope today. One meeting but two totally different statements. Take a look below:

First from the Pope:

"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 enjoin 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."

Now from Speaker Pelosi:

"It is with great joy that my husband, Paul, and I met with his Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI today. “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.”

Spin at the Vatican! The whole thing feels so political. I know it’s supposed to be spiritual in nature but you think the Pope is going to change Speaker Pelosi’s pro-choice views on abortion? I want to know what the Speaker said to the Pope when he brought up the topic of abortion.
