Thread Name: BS: Stephen Fry on The Catholic Church
Subject: RE: BS: Stephen Fry on The Catholic Church
Pelosi visits the Vatican, the Vatican issues a statement saying, in effect that she should be writing laws against abortion.

When Bishops were calling for not giving Kerry communion because he was not anti abortion, where was the Pope saying. "Do not get involved in local politics." Where were the Bishops refusing communion to war mongers? Where were Bishops saying, "Kerry, come take communion here. You have a secular job to do. You are fighting for the poor. Your values are no worse than that of the Republicans."

You want to know where they were? I would say, "Follow the money."

What Pelosi is doing is AGAINST the expressed wishes of the Pope and the Church. Catholics are wonderful people in general.

The politics of the upper reaches of the Church, in my opinion, not so pretty.
