Doesn't God's beautiful creation include babies?

If only pro-abortion 'Catholic' Nancy Pelosi would heed (some of!) her own words. For example, the House Speaker should take to heart her own comment that public policy should be "in keeping with the values of the Word", as she recently said it should be. And again, Pelosi should heed her own words when she spoke recently of a "moral responsibility" to preserve "God’s beautiful creation" - unless, of course she doesn't include babies as part of "God’s beautiful creation." A short time ago, the self-proclaimed 'Catholic' Pelosi - a supporter of homosexual 'marriage' & partial birth abortion - also stated that the Word (Jesus, the Word made flesh) is her "favorite" word and reminded that "He will come again. He will come again. So, we have to make sure we’re prepared to answer in this life, or otherwise, as to how we have measured up." Maybe she should listen to herself sometimes.

Some more recent news highlights...

* The national Catholic television network 'CatholicTV' has announced the addition of 3-D programming as well as a special 3-D version of its monthly magazine. They plan to offer 3-D glasses in an upcoming edition of their monthly magazine in order to view the 3-D materials

* The head of the Catholic Health Association, Sister Carol Keehan (recently under fire for endorsing the abortion-expanding healthcare bill opposed by the U.S. bishops and by "every legitimate Catholic pro-life organization"), has been "awarded" one of the 21 pens used by President Obama to sign the aforementioned healthcare bill. Some critics are referring to her presidential pen - "given to those who played a 'key role' in the legislation" - as her "thirty pieces of silver"

* A small pro-life group (reportedly totaling 10 people) recently demonstrated outside the Vatican calling for Nancy Pelosi's excommunication. The group is also asking the Archbishop of Washington, DC to deny Pelosi Holy Communion under Can. 915. [1983 Code of Canon Law, Can. 915: "Those who have been excommunicated or interdicted after the imposition or declaration of the penalty and others obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to holy communion."] The group's leader charged that "Nancy Pelosi has betrayed the Catholic faith, fought to shed innocent blood, and repeatedly voted to take money from Americans to pay for the murder of innocent babies"

* Some additional details regarding the Vatican-SSPX meetings has emerged in a recent interview with the leader of the SSPX. The group's leader called the discussions "serious, almost solemn talks" and said they were "dealing with brilliant minds with whom we should be able to exchange ideas". However, he claimed that "They belong to what we may call the conservative line, in that they advocate the most traditional possible reading of the [Second Vatican] Council. They desire the good of the Church but at the same time wish to save the Council: that is like trying to square the circle." He denied having knowledge of 'leaked rumors' regarding the discussions ("Not to my knowledge, unless you mean certain secondary aspects regarding the general organization of these conversations") and noted that "It is very important that the climate for these discussions be peaceful and calm. We live in a day of constant media coverage and universal democracy where everyone judges everything and gives his opinion about anything. So much is at stake in these questions of theology that it is preferable to let matters proceed in secrecy. When the time comes, if necessary, it will always be possible to publish an account of them." He confirmed that the meetings - which take place "every two or three months" - are held "in a large room of the Palace of the Holy Office" and that they will not result in joint declarations where both parties "agree on common points, but do not resolve the underlying debates", saying that "Joint declarations are out of the question."

Ever wish you were the interviewer?

Nancy Pelosi, a supposed 'Catholic' who flagrantly disregards Church teachings, has said in a year-end interview that she thinks "women should have that opportunity to exercise their free will" to have abortions as well as making other erroneous and ridiculous statements. Hearing this, wouldn't you just love to be the interviewer? Wouldn't it be refreshing to hear Pelosi be asked if she'd also support, say, the "free will" of a person who wanted to kill high-ranking legislators? Or the "free will" of someone who no longer wanted to pay taxes? Wouldn't you love to hear her try to explain how she could feel safe to even walk out her door in a world where everyone was free to exercise their "free will" without limit?

Further, wouldn't it be interesting to ask her point-blank to explain how she can, in actuality, be a "practicing Catholic" since she rejects Church authority and promotes a mortal sin (abortion) which automatically excommunicates one from the Church?

Wouldn't it also be great to press her for specific details about how she "practically mourn[s] this difference of opinion" she has with the Church? What, does she cry? Say prayers? Don black? How exactly does she "practically mourn"? Please, give details. Further, while on the topic of mourning, does she also mourn the death of the innocent victims of abortion who are (painfully) killed in their mothers' wombs? Does she care about them at all or about their "free will"?

And, regarding her "thanking God" that the Senate healthcare bill funds abortions, wouldn't you relish the opportunity to question her about how God - the author of the Fifth Commandment - might feel about being thanked for the Senate's publicly funding the murder of persons He created and fashioned in His image and likeness? Or about how the "free will" of abortion-minded women must be respected, but not the "free will" of persons who don't want to pay for others' abortions?

Wouldn't it be great if the interviewer wouldn't let her off with evasive answers to these questions - but kept the cameras rolling and pressed her as often as it took for her to directly address each and every point, being certain to call her on every single one of her contradictions as well as her many errors of logic and of fact.

Of course we'll never see a "real interviewer" do this, so what about citizen interviews? It is the citizens, after all, who pay her salary and are due an accounting. She is, in effect, our employee. And, should Pelosi decline to be interviewed voluntarily, might she support an interviewer's "free will" to follow her around with a camera until all his questions were fully answered? Or, do you think some limits to others' "free will" may suddenly be found by Pelosi when the issue affects her - personally - in a negative way? Too bad the unborn babies aren't likely to be the subject of those limits to "free will" that Pelosi may suddenly discover. But then again, it's only their lives on the line for the unborn babies, not the terrible annoyance of being followed around by a camera.

Let's hold them accountable

Towards the end of April, Hilary Clinton made claims about botched abortions in Brazil (i.e. she claimed to have visited hospitals where "half" the women were "fighting for their lives against botched abortions"). When called to account for her comments, there was a failure to produce any evidence. Still she has yet to retract this statement.

On Wednesday, Nancy Pelosi claimed that Nancy Regan's support of embryonic stem cell research "has made a significant difference in the lives of many American people. It has saved lives. It has found cures." But the truth is that embryonic stem cell research - unlike adult stem cell research - "has not helped a single human being", it "has produced no cures or treatments, has led to the destruction of countless vulnerable human embryos". In other words, it has killed many human beings.

Concerned Americans should call on Pelosi to substantiate her claim with evidence. When she is unable to do so, she should be forced to publicly retract it, as should Clinton. It's time that those in power were held accountable for their false statements.

We should also remember that it is one thing to be simply in error and another thing entirely to deliberately lie. As Scripture says concerning heaven: "During the day its gates will never be shut, and there will be no night there. The treasure and wealth of the nations will be brought there, but nothing unclean will enter it, nor anyone who does abominable things or tells lies. Only those will enter whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life." (Rv. 21:25-27) Let's hope both women were merely mistaken. If so, they should be willing to repudiate their errors.
