At least Father John K. Ring, Nancy Pelosi’s pastor at St. Vincent de Paul Church in San Francisco, didn’t play dumb when I put the Pelosi question to him recently. He knows perfectly well where she stands on abortion and simply doesn’t care. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ignatius.com/Magazines/CWR/pelosi.htm"><P align="left">“She is a fine woman,” Father Ring told <EM>CWR</EM>. “She is a good parishioner.” He dismissed out of hand the problem of scandal Pelosi’s reception of Communion causes. “Jesus Christ wasn’t scandalized by Peter abandoning him,” he said casually.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ignatius.com/Magazines/CWR/pelosi.htm"><P align="left">Does the question of whether or not a bishop should stop sacrilege and scandal really turn on a principle no sturdier than the “comfort” level or preferred pastoral style of an individual bishop? Does the Vatican’s 2004 instruction say, “Only apply this if you feel like it”? No, the policy is clear; many bishops just don’t want to implement it. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/25DB3341-BDB6-4450-841D-05FE4293A0D4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
