Two super liberal Catholics in very important positions met this weekend in Rome, Italy. On Saturday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) met with Pope Francis at the Vatican.
Photos and videos showed the Pope warmly greeting Pelosi and her husband at his official residence. This encounter will be followed by the Pope meeting with another liberal Catholic, President Joe Biden, in late October.
The Pope met with the Speaker and her husband in the immediate aftermath of a Fox News investigation that showed the couple had accumulated a net worth of $315 million by 2020, with a shocking increase of $200 million in the last two years. This is quite a payday for a woman earning a government salary.
Despite questions about her wealth, the Pope welcomed Pelosi because he shares her views on a range of issues. For example, both are strong advocates of governmental action to curb climate change. On Saturday, the Pope gave a speech urging a “change of direction” that “will require great wisdom, foresight and concern for the common good: in a word, the fundamental virtues of good politics.”
Afterwards, Pelosi lauded the Pope for issuing “a powerful challenge to the global community to act decisively on the climate crisis with special attention to the most vulnerable communities.”
Pope Francis has also been a proponent of open borders and the embrace of illegal immigrants. He was a frequent critic of President Donald Trump’s southern border wall and restrictive immigration policies. Obviously, the Pope is more supportive of Biden’s open border policies. On Saturday, Pelosi also expressed her support for the Pope’s commitment “to embrace the refugee, the immigrant and the poor, and to recognize the dignity and divinity in everyone.”
Along with his advocacy of climate change action and his embrace of the plight of illegal immigrants, Pope Francis is a strong advocate for the poor and regularly decries the inequalities of capitalism. His economic philosophy is more closely associated with socialism. Unfortunately, socialism has not worked anywhere in the world and neither have progressive policies enacted in states like California and New York.
While the Pope shares many liberal political views with both Pelosi and Biden, he is pro-life and opposes their staunch support of abortion. Since there is such disagreement on a teaching so vital, many Catholics wonder why Pelosi, Biden, and other liberal Democrats, such as former U.S. Senator John Kerry, continue to be given such special treatment by the Pope and are allowed to receive communion in their local parishes.
At least one Catholic leader in Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco, CA home is not happy with her support of abortion rights. The Archbishop of the San Francisco, Salvatore J. Cordileone, recently criticized her abortion stance. He noted that “In the last 50 years, in the United States alone, 66,000,000 babies have been murdered in their mothers’ wombs.” According to Cordileone, “If we look around us and see what is happening in our society today, we will see that this fact once again demonstrates that violence begets violence. The response to a woman in a crisis pregnancy is not violence, but love.”
Instead of welcoming liberal Democrats like Pelosi to the Vatican and advocating a range of progressive political causes, the Pope should focus on the spiritual problems in the Catholic Church. Clearly, it is in crisis around the world and especially in the United States.
The devastating pedophilia disaster among priests will impact the Catholic Church for the foreseeable future. Along with the horrific abuse of minors and the damage those impacted will face for the rest of their lives, there have been huge financial losses as lawsuits have been settled. This is another factor in the continuing struggle that the Catholic Church has faced in recruiting more priests.
In the last fifty years, the number of priests in the United States has declined significantly. A Georgetown University study showed that the number of priests dropped almost 40%, from 60,000 to approximately 37,000.
As the number of priests decline, churches are closing nationwide. This is one factor in the huge reduction of practicing Catholics in America. In a recent Gallup survey, it was reported that among American Catholics, regular church attendance has dropped significantly. In 1955, about 75% of Catholics attended weekly mass. By 2017, that percentage dropped significantly to only 39% of American Catholics.
While the devout population is shrinking, the overall percentage of Catholics is declining nationwide. A Pew Research survey estimated that there are about 51 million Catholics in the United States. However, this is only 21% of the nation’s adult population, a significant decline in just the last few years.
All these statistics show a massive problem for the Catholic Church, which needs strong spiritual, not political, leadership. Unfortunately, for the past eight years, the Catholic Church has been led by a very liberal Pope who has chosen to highlight a very woke progressive agenda.
The latest papal directive is to demand vaccine mandates for all employees and visitors to the Vatican. This resulted in the resignation of several members of the Pope’s armed security forces, the Swiss Guard, who refused to take the vaccine.
While the Pope salutes Pelosi and advocates a progressive agenda, many conservative Catholics feel abandoned. As the Pope emphasizes social justice, the calls to protect the unborn have not received as much of an emphasis in recent years.
Conservative Catholics should not expect much of a change during the papacy of Pope Francis. He will continue to punish conservative leaders in the Catholic Church and welcome progressive icons like House Speaker Pelosi to the Vatican.
His papacy has been as divisive as the relatively new presidency of Joe Biden and the long tenure of Nancy Pelosi as House Speaker. None of these Catholic leaders have succeeded in bringing people together. All of them have pursued progressive policies, which have not only failed to unite, but they have also failed to work.

They agree on temporal things, things of this world, Christians are in this world but not of it because their alliegience is promarily not to rulers in this world. The spiritual has taken second place and the Pope acts more like a rulers of this world rather than the the shepherd of the faithful flock
The Pope is a servant of the devil.
So is pelosi.. SO they are in great company!
Make that two of the Devil’s minions well met, who sold their souls and were strategically placed by the dark one to aid in the destruction of mankind. They disguise themselves as Catholic, but the word itself means Universal, whereas they both are puppets of their parties, politicizing religion and like Hitler who also dodged so many bullets, believe that they are the chosen ones of God, who like true disguised secular socialists is always the one they see in the mirror. Luckily for America God always protects a remnant of the true believers who although unlike the socialists may be late to organize, always prevail in the end.
To respond to joe23006
Theres a old Quote taken from the Bible which states what the Catholic Popes roll should be in Worldly Matters, and this quote states, ” Give unto cezar the things that ate Czasrs and to God The things that are Gods, to parsphrase this Quote. Democrat, Nancy Pelosi is a ” Sunday Catholic, All of the other day in the Week she is a democrat political Animal.
If the Pope is so committed to all those things that he and the disgrace in our congress agree on, why doesn’t he take a few hundred billion dollars that the church has in it’s bank and put it in the pot to fix the problems?
And like a true socialist get the job fixed with money donated and created by other people. Neither he nor Pelosi have EVER accomplished anything that was not CREATED by the life force of others, most time stolen life force from the wealth of the great Creator himself.
There is one who will come soon and very soon. My guess is that he won’t be coming to greet the Pope or Nancy. He will be here to settle a score with a sword in his mouth and blood on his sheath.
His was clothed in a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called the word of God
Revelation 19:13
And out his mouth goeth a sharp sword that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he tread eith out the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of almighty God.
Revelation 19:15
The apostle John is speaking about children of the devil like you Pelosi.
hummmm… the Pope in white… and the demon… I mean Numb skull nancy …in Black…. how fitting.
Both of their father the devil.
I was hopeful that the POPE’s people would burn the WITCH (Pelosi ) at the stake !
I’d have loved it, if she burst into flames, the second she touched the pope…
BUT then again, i’d love to see HIM also burst into flames!
I seem to recall that democrat, Nancy Pelosi and democrat Muslim Convert , Keit Elison, Visiting a Muslim musk And Nancy was head Covered and soo respectful of the Muslims.
Correct to sotheseedsofliberty2 comment, ” Mosque “
Isn’t that a winning photo? That’s better than her and Schumer together.
“The Pope met with the Speaker and her husband in the immediate aftermath of a Fox News investigation that showed the couple had accumulated a net worth of $315 million by 2020, with a shocking increase of $200 million in the last two years. This is quite a payday for a woman earning a government salary.” I wouldn’t go so far as to say she has earned it.
“On Saturday, the Pope gave a speech urging a “change of direction” that “will require great wisdom, foresight and concern for the common good: in a word, the fundamental virtues of good politics.” I’m sure Nancy took that to heart.
“Pope Francis is a strong advocate for the poor and regularly decries the inequalities of capitalism.”
A lot of pious words falling on the deaf ears of a CINO—a hardened Pharisee who is trying to deceive both God and Man.
Pelosi earned her damnation in everlasting flames.
Romans 3:23 ” For all have Sinned Amd Fallen Short of The Glory of God . ” And Nancy Pelosi Certainly has “Fallen Short of The Glory of God…”
Psalms 37:16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
When Pelosi, Pope Francis, and Biden stand before Jesus and say “Lord, Lord!” Jesus will say to them “I never knew you.”
“In as much as you have done to the Least of these, You have done It Unto Me…” Quote taken from the Bible.
And one wonders, HOW MUCH (if any at all) OF that 300+ million she’s earned over the past two decades+ in govt service, has she ever given to charity!?
Many religions are mentioned in the Bible. Judaism and the Christian faith are the only two religions that have the approval of God.
I am a Christian and I love and worship GOD and his son Jesus Christ and I read and try to follow and obey the Word of GOD, the Holy Bible.
But I have no use for man made religions. Most of them are either a cult or a business.
If you need the companionship and support of other Christians, choose your Church of GOD wisely, one that teaches the word of GOD and not the political beliefs of their religion.
“Islam did not exist during the time of the Old or New Testaments, so no specific mention was made in the Bible about it. Mohammed wasn’t born until 500 years after Christ’s death and resurrection.”
A Communist Pope welcoming a Pro-Abortion Tyrant. As a Catholic Conservative I am appalled.
One’s religious domination is a personal choice. Just because you are born into it doesn’t mean you have to stay in it until you die. I have known a number of ex-Catholics and ex-other denominations as well.
The Pope is not a godly man who is willing to adhere to what the Holy Scriptures teach.
Most of Catholicism is NOT true biblical Christianity, because it teaches a very distorted Gospel that in direct contradiction to many of the core doctrines of the true Gospel.
Unfortunately, millions of biblically illiterate people are being deceived by false teachers like Pope Francis!
Did she just become the head nun?
Nope. “head of the “undone”
I am not a Catholic but if those of that religion think this pope has gone “woke”, they need to send him a “wake up” message and start their own Catholic churches that go against “woke” ways,.
Jesus said no vile wicked trash allowed in his millennial kingdom or in the kingdom of heaven. Looks like you will burn for eternity nasty Nancy.
He should have lopped her head off….
The timing of this visit inclines me to believe that somewhere in the multi-trillion dollar US House spending bill they carved a portion out for the Vatican.
The question remains: Why would the Francis meet with a person he has characterized, among others, as someone who supports murder?
Sick bunch, they are…
