Religious Hypocrisy and the Denver Broncos (Separate Issues)

Religious Hypocrisy and the Denver Broncos (Separate Issues)

Of the 5,100 bishops in the Catholic Church worldwide, nary a one is a woman, unless we count Bishopress Nancy Pelosi of the First Congressional Church of God who occasionally tends to act and speak as if she were an ordained prelate of the Church.

Her chief problem in that role of bishopress is similar to the one Pelosi faces as Speakerette of the House of Representatives: She doesn’t know what she’s talking about and, when she does speak, she rambles incoherently and much of her audience is more preoccupied in identifying where she got her last Botox shot rather than in the words of Catholic religious wisdom she vainly attempts to impart.

Pelosi ”publicly stated earlier this year that she had a duty to pursue policies ‘in keeping with the values’ of Jesus Christ, the ‘Word made Flesh.’ But at a press briefing last week, when reminded of this statement, Pelosi declined to say when Jesus got the right to life.”

Poor Pelosi was in a sorry state, faced with a positively preposterous problem, a querulous quandary.

In that, Pelosi was akin to some Denver Bronco fans but more about them later.

Bishopress Nancy, a nominal Catholic, was confronted with a conundrum: How can a Catholic, nominal or not, legislatress defend the values of Jesus Christ, the Word made Flesh, and at the same time be an ardent supporter not only of abortion but of the most radical type of abortions, infanticide in the form of what doctors call intact dilation and extraction?

She thought and thought and thought about the question of when Jesus earned the right to life and then responded by saying, “Whenever it was, we bow our heads when we talk about it in church, and that’s where I’d like to talk about that.”

Umm, duh and wow!

Pelosi outdid herself on that one, not only by refusing to answer but by lying that “we bow our heads when we talk about it in church. . ."
