Hypocrite Nancy Pelosi To Meet With Pope Benedict

Newsmax.com:

Visiting US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi will have an audience with Pope Benedict XVI during her weeklong visit to Italy, a Vatican official said Monday.

The meeting will take place on Wednesday, the official told AFP, saying it would likely occur after the pope's weekly general audience.

Pelosi, who describes herself as an "ardent" Catholic while advocating reproductive rights, will be the highest-ranking US official to see the pope since President Barack Obama took office last month.

The new Democratic administration is at odds with the Vatican over abortion, stemcell research and other bioethical issues.

Senior Vatican officials slammed Obama's rapid overturning of a ban on US government funding for family planning groups around the world that carry out or facilitate abortions.

Here's hoping the Pope calls out our idiot Speaker of the House (and Catholic) on her contradictions regarding Catholic faith that includes supporting abortion, "independent woman's rights" (i.e. women who choose to have kids without a dad) and gay marriage. Benedict has certainly shown, during his short term, an ability to call it like he sees it. Let's hope he gives Nancy P. a stern lecture or two for being an unabashed hypocrite when it comes to her religion.

Bill Maher Apologizes For Calling Pope A Nazi

I refuse to believe that this apology is genuine because Maher's a slimeball and a Christophobic like that. Then too he could be saying sorry only because he's afraid of losing his show (not like that hasn't happened before thanks to Maher's stupidity) amidst the suits at HBO pressuring him to take back his hateful remarks. Either way, once an a-hole, always an a-hole:

Comedian Bill Maher apologized on his HBO show Friday night for accusing Pope Benedict XVI of being a Nazi. After some delay, the Catholic League reports, Maher acknowledged that Joseph Ratzinger as a young man was forced to join the Hitler Youth organization and was not sympathetic to the Nazi ideology.

Maher still insisted that if a CEO were in charge of an institution that housed child molesters, he would be fired.

Bill Donohue, President of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, responded to Maher’s broadcast apology. “We accept Maher's apology for accusing the pope of being a Nazi. Too bad he didn't stop there. For him to suggest that Pope Benedict XVI was in charge of policing molesters, and failed in doing so, is patently absurd,” Donohue said.
