One Saturday afternoon, in Washington, D.C., an aide to House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi visited the Bishop of the Catholic Cathedral in D.C.
He told the Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next day's
Mass, and he asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi to the
congregation and say a few words that would include calling Pelosi a
saint.
The Cardinal replied, "No. I don't really like the woman, and there are
issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over certain of Pelosi's
views."
Pelosi's aide then said, "Look, I'll write a check here and now for a
donation of $100,000 to your church if you'll just tell the congregation
you see Pelosi as a saint."
The Cardinal thought about it and said, "Well, the church can use the
money, so I'll work your request into tomorrow's sermon."
As Pelosi's aide promised, Pelosi appeared for the Sunday worship and
seated herself prominently at the forward left side of the center aisle.
As promised, at the start of his sermon, the Cardinal pointed out that
Pelosi was present.
The Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation, "While Pelosi's
presence is probably an honor to some, the woman is not numbered among
my personal favorite personages. Some of her most egregious views are
contrary to tenets of the Church, and she tends to flip- flop on many
other issues. Nancy Pelosi is a petty, self-absorbed hypocrite, a thumb
sucker, and a nit-wit. Nancy Pelosi is also a serial liar, a cheat, and
a thief. I must say, Nancy Pelosi is the worst example of a Catholic I
have ever personally witnessed. She married for money and is using her
wealth to lie to the American people. She also has a reputation for
shirking her Representative obligations both in Washington , and in
California .
The woman is simply not to be trusted." The Cardinal concluded, "But,
when compared with President Obama, House Speaker Pelosi is a saint."
Gosh, I love being around Catholics
