    Pelosi and the Flat Earth Society

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi today tried to base her dissent from authoritative Church teaching on an isolated ancient century text of St. Augustine.

    On a whim, I decided to look through the various times Pelosi has mentioned her Catholic faith when debating moral issues. I quickly found this instance, where she is arguing for the legalization of RU-486, commonly known as the "abortion pill."

    Look how she criticizes Mr. Coburn of Oklahoma who wishes to defend the unborn:

    "I certainly respect the gentleman's religious beliefs and understand them, as a Catholic, myself, and mother of five, grandmother of four, and that we do not think abortion is a good thing...

    ... [but] the amendment offered by the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Coburn) is starting to have this body, this room, this Chamber, look like the Flat Earth Society again, Mr. Chairman.

    We have our Flat Earth Society days around here, and this appears to be one of them." (source: house.gov)

    The Flat Earth Society, broadly-speaking, is a Christian-related ideological group that refuses to admit the findings of modern science.
    ... much like Pelosi's position on abortion is a Christian-related ideological position that refuses to admit the findings of modern science, let alone the authority and constant tradition of the Catholic Church.
    I guess Pelosi is having one of her Flat Earth Society days.
