Nancy Pelosi takes Communion

Effin' hypocrite! From Q and O:

Pelosi takes communion at Papal mass
Wow - what a surprise:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she felt very comfortable taking Communion during the Mass celebrated by Pope Benedict XVI, who has said supporters of abortion rights should not receive Communion.

�Communion is the body of the people of the church coming together,� Pelosi said at her weekly news conference after returning from the Mass. �I feel very much a part of that.�

Of course with all the pretending any Democrat has to do, it's certainly no surprise that Pelosi felt comfortable with defying the church because she felt entitled too.

And if there is any question as to the Pope's position:

Benedict's spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, later said the pope was not setting a new policy and did not intend to formally excommunicate anyone. But Lombardi added that politicians who vote in favor of abortion should refrain from receiving Holy Communion.

So, as most expected, Ms. Self-absorbed defied the Pope and the church, had her way and feels very good about it.

Perfect.

How does she think that she could slip under the radar on this. Catholicism is not a Democracy and you cannot violate the laws if they don't suit your widdle feewings. The way around this is to switch spiritual practices -- I bet the United Churches in Christ would welcome Ms. Pelosi with open arms. I am wondering #1) if she is an actual practicing Catholic and #2) if so, will her own minister have a few words with her over this.
