I am told that tomorrow Representative Pelosi will be at her alma mater Trinity College in Washington DC to receive some honorary sheepskin and attend Mass. Faithful Roman Catholics are quite upset and quite rightly so. It is not that Pelosi is just another cafeteria Catholic. Rather she is going to be leading the Congressional charge against the Church’s teachings for the next few years. By her own open, unapologetic, and forceful promotion of policies that are anti-Catholic, she seems to have put herself in schism with the Church. Now, if Washington DC’s new archbishop was true blue like my fellow Kansan Charles Chaput, Archbishop of Denver, Ms. Pelosi will neither be getting honored at a ‘Catholic’ institution nor receiving the Blessed Sacrament at Mass. Or if our neighbor Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz of Lincoln, NE ran the DC archdiocese, Nancy Pelosi would be automatically excommunicated for being affiliated with fundamentally anti-Church hate groups like Planned Parenthood and CFC.
Ted Wuerl, the archbishop of Washington DC, however, is very much a Beltway guy. Relief for Nancy Pelosi, scandalous for the faithful.
