Pelosi Urged to Apologize for Misrepresenting Catholic Doctrine
By Paul M. Weyrich

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s war with the Catholic Church has now spilled over to the Congress. Pelosi (D-Calif.) recently challenged when life begins. The Roman Catholic Church says life begins at conception. The Speaker, who claims she is an ardent Catholic, says down through the years the Catholic Church has not been able to agree when life begins. Church authorities have hotly disputed her view. Now a group of Pelosi’s fellow House Members has weighed in with a sharply worded letter: “As fellow Catholics and legislators we wish you would have made a more honest effort to lay out the authentic position of the Church on this core moral issue before attempting to address it with authority.”
