IN the NEWS - Pelosi the bad girl

"Because of her longstanding support for abortion, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a Catholic, must be denied Communion under the law of the Catholic Church, said Cardinal Raymond Burke, head of the highest court at the Vatican.
Cardinal Burke referenced his remarks about Pelosi to Canon Law--the law  governing the Catholic Church--and specifically Canon 915, which says those Catholics who obstinately persevere “in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion.”
“Certainly this is a case when Canon 915 must be applied,” said Cardinal Burke in national Catholic weekly. “This is a person who obstinately, after repeated admonitions, persists in a grave sin--cooperating with the crime of procured abortion--and still professes to be a devout Catholic.”"

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God:
for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Romans 8:7
I'm NOT a Catholic, although I agree with them on abortion.
Also, their church has every right to do this if they so choose to Pelosi. Not only has she flaunted the position on abortion to the extreme with her policies, but she has undermined the Catholic church on a whole host of other social issues including on freedom of religion.
This isn't about Pelosi being forced to force Catholicism on the rest of the country, but rather if she doesn't agree with any of the teachings of the church---then leave. Why stay in any church when you foster an atheistic worldview?
