The Life News website reports that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called on a Catholic saint yesterday to help her and her pro-abortion colleagues pass a Senate health care bill that contains massive abortion funding. Not only did Pelosi upset pro-life Catholics in so doing, but she got the date wrong concerning the saint she mentioned.
"Today is the feast of St. Joseph the Worker, particularly important to Italian-Americans," Pelosi said. "It's a day where we remember and pray to St. Joseph to benefit the workers of America, and that's exactly what our health-care bill will do," she added.
Pelosi needs to check her calendar more closely, because the feast of St. Joseph the Worker is on May 1.
David Freddoso, a writer for the Washington Examiner, said, "Saint Joseph the Worker would not consider the killing of unborn babies to be health care, and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have appreciated working hard all day only to see the fruits of his labor taken through taxes to subsidize abortions."
When Pelosi -- an Italian-American Catholic -- had a private audience with Pope Benedict XVI last year, the Pope told her that, as a Catholic, she should be opposed to abortion. Unfortunately, Pelosi does not agree with the Pope's stance on abortion -- or with the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church.
