Nancy Pelosi surely would find herself in deep and threatening waters should she present herself to the scrutiny of St. Ambrose, let alone any of the saints who have gone before us. Unfortunately she does not seem to garner the same charity from most ecclesiastics who presently walk among us and lead us. In any event, according to what I’ve spied at other web sites today, Archbishop Fisichella has determined that those of us who find ourselves objecting to certain postures, positions and procedures, presently finding favor at the Domus Sanctae Marthae, can find ourselves in a state of mortal sin or even excommunication.
I know there is a logic to this, and I fear I know its construct, but it surely deserves some sort of rational assessment by those of greater intelligence and devotion than myself. Legislatively supporting the slaughter of children is not grounds for being denied Holy Communion – but objecting to the trajectory presently traced in the current pontificate can be a mortal sin – or even the cause of excommunication.
The Chinese curse, “…may you live in interesting times…” comes to mind.
Will someone clarify this muddle proposed by the good Archbishop?
Maybe St. Ambrose would be horrified at our apathy and be excoriating people like me to deeper prayer, self-examination, more spiritual reading of old Church writings, instead of exhausting ourselves on things we can’t control [like politics, Pope Francis, idiots on Facebook, etc.] . I think I can hear him yelling at me…from the distance. Something about ‘save yourself…”? Sorry, I gotta go.
:-D
St. Ambrose, powerful saint, pray for all of us!
Well Father, to be honest, St. Jerome couldn’t really stand anyone, and no one could really stand Jerome either.
Each time St. Ambrose’s name comes up, I’m reminded of those prophetic words of comfort he spoke to St. Monica who sought his council during that same time that she lived a deep anguish worrying about the salvation of her errant son (St.) Augustine:
From EWTN’s Biography of St. Monica
Concerning “how I think St. Ambrose might have dealt with Nancy Pelosi” , I’m tempted to wonder whether St. Ambrose would have bothered dealing with her at all . . . as I recall another of the Saint’s lesser known quotes – which goes something like this :
