If we needed it, here is more proof that Nancy Pelosi isn’t interested in reducing the number of abortions.

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

“Until the Lord be pleased to settle, through the instrumentality of the princes of the Church and the lawful ministers of His justice, the trouble aroused by the pride of a few and the ignorance of some others, let us with the help of God endeavor with calm and humble patience to render love for hatred, to avoid disputes with the silly, to keep to the truth and not fight with the weapons of falsehood, and to beg of God at all times that in all our thoughts and desires, in all our words and actions, He may hold the first place who calls Himself the origin of all things.”

- The most evident mark of God’s anger and the most terrible castigation He can inflict upon the world are manifested when He permits His people to fall into the hands of clerics who are priests more in name than in deed, priests who practice the cruelty of ravening wolves rather than the charity and affection of devoted shepherds.

Don’t rely on popes, bishops and priests.
“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”- Fulton Sheen

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.
PLEASE RESPOND. Pretty pleeeease?
WDTPRS POLL






















Yep, we know she wants to pay for abortions. We have Henry Waxman’s own words to Mr. Stupak, a week or so ago, ‘but, we (Dems, Pelosi & her cronies) WANT to pay for abortions.’
Big surprise.
Lord, Help these ones to see the light of truth, your Truth, Amen.
PP’s research arm, Guttmacher, estimated that eliminating Hyde amendment would result in almost 30% increase in abortions by Medi-aid rescipient women. They clarify (whoopdie-doo…) that this translates to overall a less than 5% increase in nationwide abortions. An increase nonetheless. Besides, the way the economy is going, what with Obama opposed to economic growth and prosperity in the private sector, more and more women will be on the public dole and may consider abortions from the economic distress. [I thought the safety nets were to save babies from abortion due to economic distress. Sigh.]
So, the abortion crowd is on record that public funding will increases abortion. There is no way out of that fact for the dissenting, dissembling nuns and lay Catholics.

St. Thomas More pray for us.
Arggghhh. Loads of typos above. Sorry.
And this witch still hasn’t been excommunicated. Lord, send us strong bishops. Our current crop seem to take the “forgive 7 times 70 times” as their motto without the need for any sign of repentance from the other side.
Lord, send us strong bishops.
What would it take for a Catholic to be excommunicated? What public sin could one commit to cause it to happen? Is there anything at all?
Has Pelosi been denied Communion yet? Is this Archbishop Niederauer’s call? If so, what is he waiting for?
From an unprovided death, deliver them, O Lord.
Hmm
Exommunication. Wonder how often that has been used in the past 40 years? And who were the most noticeable and front-page cases?
I don’t think it was for any LIBERAL dissenters…
Sure would be nice to see it used now; but regardless of the formality, if one does not believe what the Church teaches, one is no longer a Catholic. God knows the Truth, even if Bishops are too weak to tell the world that Ms. Pelosi and ilk are NOT Catholic and have no right speaking as if they are.
But even if she and like kind were excommunicated, the only ones who would really defend such a step are those of us who know it’s necessary. I don’t think others would give one hoot. That doesn’t mean the bishops shouldn’t do it though. It is their duty, and they are shirking it.
Let us pray the Rosary daily for Holy Mother Church and Her leaders.
Pelosi can’t possibly ‘cut a deal’ with the anti-abortion dems who want assurance there will be no federal funding for abortions, because she has already cut a deal with the Devil to perpetrate Evil against the innocents and promote the culture of death. In my charity I will continue to pray for her.

True, but the Bishops need to publically excommunicate these people for the sake of the rest of the flock, especially those who are weak in knowledge of the faith. By doing nothing, the Bishops are only confusing people and allowing many to fall into sin.
