Pelosi Agrees to Meet with Bishop

SAN FRANCISCO (Map, News) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, under fire from U.S. bishops for comments she made about abortion, accepted on Friday an invitation from the Roman Catholic archbishop of San Francisco for a private talk.

This is an interesting soundbite:

Pelosi said in a letter to Archbishop George Niederauer that she'd "welcome the opportunity for our personal conversation and to go beyond our earlier most cordial exchange about immigration and needs of the poor to Church teaching on other significant matters."

Did a previous meeting take place and Archbishop Niederauer skirt the issue of abortion? Seems peculiar. The more likely scenario is that it was discussed but she heard what she wanted to hear, not what was actually said?

The souls at stake I should think would require specific instructions that she can follow her conscience with her free will, but misleading others into perdition is forcing the Bishops hand to warn her Catholic constituents that her path that she's outside communion with the Catholic Church.

Making a choice between the Sacraments of the Catholic Church and letting go of misrepresenting her authority to be that of the Catholic Church would seem like an easy decision.

This election may not be Deja vu all over again. The winner of that battlefield is Christ.
