Finally: Priest Tells Nancy Pelosi To Quit Pretending To Be A Catholic

One of the worst flaws Christians in this country have is our refusal to stand up for our beliefs. Christians are smeared and we say nothing. Christians are persecuted and murdered in nations that we give foreign aid to and we say nothing. People who claim to be Christians say nothing when politicians like Nancy Pelosi claim to be Christians, but prove they don’t believe with the way they behave in office.

Nancy Pelosi[1]

Well, Frank Pavone, national director for Priests for Life has had enough of that[2].

In an open letter, Fr. Frank Pavone, national director for Priests for Life, a pro-life organization, made known his discontent with Pelosi’s most recent comments about abortion.

“Last Thursday, June 13, you were asked a question in a press briefing that you declined to answer. The question was, ‘What is the moral difference between what Dr. Gosnell did to a baby born alive at 23 weeks and aborting her moments before birth?,’” Pavone wrote. “Instead of even attempting to answer the question, you resorted to judgmental ad hominem attacks on the reporter who asked it, saying, ‘You obviously have an agenda. You’re not interested in having an answer.’”

…“Whatever Catholic faith you claim to respect and practice, it is not the faith that the Catholic Church teaches. And I speak for countless Catholics when I say that it’s time for you to stop speaking as if it were,” added the priest.

Being pro-abortion is incompatible with calling yourself a Christian in general and calling yourself a Catholic in particular. It’s time for more Christians to join Frank Pavone in saying just that.
