Nancy Pelosi's recent, wildly inaccurate statement to Tom Brokaw about the Catholic Church's position on when human life begins is one more in an endless procession of childish, idiotic, amoral or crazy pronouncements on her part. She is in the unenviable position of being a radically anti-life feminist who also professes to be a Catholic. Rather than just admit that she vehemently disagrees with centuries of Vatican pronouncements on when an unborn is considered to be human, it looks as if she tried to deceive the more naive of her listeners into believing that the views of the Church were historically unclear, and therefore not in direct conflict with hers. She thinks of herself as right in all situations and judgment calls, how could anyone disagree with Nancy the Great? MR. Nancy must've blushed with shame at this disgusting episode.
If she was not lying, then she is spectacularly uninformed on a basic teaching of the religion she claims, rather like a Mormon who says that she smokes and drinks booze, but it must be OK since the Church has never taken a stand on it.
She has already said and done some really despicable things; the Brokaw episode merely marks a new low. The fact that such a person is allowed to remain as Speaker only highlights the moral bankruptcy of the Democratic party. I PITY them.
