I've been wanting to post since Sunday's faux pas by Nancy Pelosi on "Meet the Press" and say:
#1. What Catholic school did she go to anyway?
#2. Poor Saint Augustine was maligned (actually she quoted St. Thomas Aquinas) as she tried to put her theological views above his.
#3. She obviously hasn't seen the Bodies Revealed exhibit at Union Station in KC, which I'm told shows an open cross-section of pregnant female cadavers in all nine months of the baby's life!
#4. Couldn't the DNC think of a better location for their Convention than Denver? Don't they know the local Catholic power-house bishops named Chaput and Conley?
Archbishop Chaput wrote "The Separation of Sense and State" (and plenty of other bishops and archbishops wrote to correct her misstatement of church teaching). It was Beautiful! http://www.archden.org/images/ArchbishopCorner/ByTopic/onseparationofsense%26state_openlettercjc8.25.08.pdf
"Catholics who make excuses for it (abortion) - whether they're famous or not - fool only themselves and abuse the fidelity of those Catholics who do sincerely seek to follow the Gospel and live their Catholic faith. ... A proper understanding of the "separation of Church and state" does not imply a separation of faith from political life. But of course, it's always important to know what our faith actually teaches."
We're not fooled. And we've actually read The Confessions of St. Augustine in this house.
