When Leftists see an angle they can use to further their ends, they’ve even been known to get religion from time to time. And when they do, they don’t hesitate to use their warped interpretation of it as a bludgeon to hammer conservatives for their supposed ‘heresy.’

Enter the suddenly pious, holier-than-thou Nancy Pelosi, who is serious about her Catholicism when she’s able to use its current teachings to hammer Donald Trump, all the while ignoring, you know, inconvenient stuff like gay marriage and abortion.

We *all* have a moral responsibility to and protect God's creation.

Remember her "The Word" speech? The senile old bat needs to be put out to pasture.

"They ask me all the time, 'What is your favorite this? What is your favorite that? What is your favorite that?' And one time, 'What is your favorite word?' And I said, 'My favorite word? That is really easy. My favorite word is the Word, is the Word. And that is everything. It says it all for us. And you know the biblical reference; you know the Gospel reference of the Word."

"And that Word," Pelosi said, "is, we have to give voice to what that means in terms of public policy that would be in keeping with the values of the Word. The Word. Isn't it a beautiful word when you think of it? It just covers everything. The Word.

"Fill it in with anything you want. But, of course, we know it means: 'The Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us.' And that's the great mystery of our faith. He will come again. He will come again. So, we have to make sure we're prepared to answer in this life, or otherwise, as to how we have measured up."

Like many people, I watched the video of this speech with disbelief and amazement.  (You can see it for yourself here.)  It smacked of concocted sweet-talk to me.  I could be wrong, but it sounded so utterly hypocritical and empty because her actions have contradicted every syllable.

What really struck me was that she never dared say the name of Jesus.  She looked visibly uncomfortable as she was talking about 'The Word' that was supposedly her favorite word.  Her eyes were cast down, and she stammered around trying to find a way to talk about 'The Word' without mentioning Him.  She tried to imply that we could define 'The Word' in any way we wanted, because it's such a "beautiful word," and "it just covers everything."

Well, yes Nancy, it is indeed a beautiful word and it does indeed cover everything, because He is everything.  His name is Jesus; that is the Word you're afraid to say.  There is no other Word.  You can't "fill it in with anything you want."   Only the name of Jesus is 'The Word'; The Word that is God; The Word who humbled Himself to take on our own flesh, assuming our human nature, in order to free us, re-create us anew and give us everlasting life in Him. Say it, Nancy:  Jesus.

It was the beloved disciple John who began His Gospel with these profound words: 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.' (John 1: 1- 5) 

Once again, poor Ms. Pelosi has tried to portray herself as a faithful Catholic who bravely applies the principles of her faith to her political endeavors and policies.  My take from watching her give that speech was that even she's not buying what she's selling.  She knows there is an undeniable incongruity between her words and her deeds; she knows it has become a charade.  I think that's why she looked so antsy.

Or perhaps she is consumed by the struggle to create the illusion; she is desperately trying to contort the Catholic faith to fit her desires and her politics and hoping to convince us all, including herself that it works.
  
It doesn't.  Nancy Pelosi is deceived, plain and simple.  No one can claim to honor The Word made flesh and then spend her life working to ensure the destruction of human life in the womb.  She cannot say 'The Word' is her favorite word and then ignore what that Word means, what the awesome miracle of the Incarnation says to us about the Life, Truth, the very meaning and blessedness of our human existence.
