I am ending this early tonight. I will complete it tomorrow.
Thank you for your continued interest.
Comments:
Speaker Pelosi - The Bishop has it wrong. The type of relationship that exists with God is a personal relationship. It is that relationship regarding her accountability of her Earthly life that will interest God.
I find the Bishop’s declaration, opportune. He either has ambitions to be Cardinal or Pope himself. I would like to know if his unnecessary announcement about the Speaker’s right to communion was after a handsome donation to request his intervention.
To the Bishop of San Francisco,
The USA practices separation of church and state. Speaker Pelosi has an obligation to all people and faiths. Abortion is not about babies. They obtain citizenship at birth and not before. Abortion is about a woman’s health. There is no assault on babies in the USA. We welcome babies. What is at issue is the health of women and how that translates to the care of their families.
The Bishop of San Francisco entered a dialogue that does not fall under his expertise. The law in the USA is best left up to legislators that know the issue and how to legislate. With all do respect the Bishop is confused to where his religious dogma ends.
ONE OTHER THING:
The Catholic Church based in Rome, Italy chronically has this problem with those that are practicing the faith while serving in office. Speaker Nancy Pelosi is dedicated to her faith and to the people of the USA. As Speaker she has a responsibility to all Americans and not just Catholic Americans. The Catholic Church should be proud to have a member of it's faith in one of the most powerful seats in the USA Legislature.
Additionally, Speaker Pelosi has a responsibility to all Americans and not just Catholic Americans. Her status with her faith is her own business not that of the USA federal government. Speaker Pelosi fully understands the impact abortion has on women's lives for the better. Abortion has always been defined in regard to the health of the mother, physical health, emotional health and mental health. She knows full well that abortion serves as a benefit to women that seek to have a better quality of life for their families.
What does abortion do for women? It allows them to compete for good paying jobs that can require a decade or more of learning. Abortion allows a woman to move from abuse to self-supporting while protecting her children when they to with her after a divorce from an abusive spouse. Abortion saves women's lives when they are faced with adverse outcomes to pregnancy, including in the African American community, preeclampsia ( high blood pressure, high levels of protein in urine that indicate kidney damage (proteinuria), or other signs of organ damage), eclampsia resulting from preeclampsia (seizures can cause episodes of staring, decreased alertness, and convulsions (violent shaking) and let's not forget depression.
Post partum depression starts before delivery of the baby and continues due to hormone imbalances as well as pre-existing mental health issues. The most devastating mental health issues for women during the post partum period is Post-Partum Psychosis (click here). The people of the USA has witnessed the devastation of Post-Partum Psychosis when a women severely depressed actually murders her own children after the birth of a daughter.
All these issues are serious problems women face when becoming pregnant for all the right reasons like family and personal fulfillment in being a parent. The Catholic Church's view is that of religious dogma and not modern day information. It is unfortunate because the Vatican has a scientific arm that could investigate this further if it harnessed the genius of it's nuns.
If the Catholic Church believes it is a power player in any election, it needs to think twice because the non-profit status could be sacrificed when entering slight of hand defamation of character among government officials simply doing their job. The Catholic Church has no authority within the USA government structure and should maintain its interests where it belongs in saving the souls of those still engaging in sinful behavior.
Speaker Pelosi is one of the most ethical people in this country and is very concerned about women's health as well as happy lives for children with men fulfilled in their personal pursuits of employment, marriage and quite possibly small business interests. There is nothing here that a Bishop should concern himself with as Speaker Pelosi is an honorable woman, incredible leader and one that does not cross the line of church and state to replace the USA Constitution with the Bible. That ethical stance is not shared with political right wing Congresspersons who see the power of the USA open to be harnessed for wrong doing and exploitation of people. Enough of this displaced heralding by the Bishop, he owes people a letter of apology for his attempt at smearing Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
