This is what happens when confusing signals are sent from leaders of a nation. It leaves one really hoping that their leaders follow Jesus Christ and honor the meaning of the word. In this speech Speaker Pelosi almost sounds like she is auditioning for a ministry before a small congregation. Listen to it several times with the idea that she supports all abortions, keeping absolute Separation of Church & State (by their understanding, not the founders).
It leaves one just shaking your head. Who is she speaking to and why does she feel compelled to speak these words? Listen to it and it sounds like someone throwing a few phrases together to give the impression something profound is being said. Then you latch on to the phrase: “Fill it in with anything you want but we know…” Ah… the Word. IT says it all. It’s almost magical just repeating the word “The Word.” Could you imagine our apostles or early church members speaking this as their message to the masses? Really?
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says she believes she must pursue public policies “in keeping with the values” of Jesus Christ, “The Word made Flesh.”
Pelosi, who is a Catholic and who favors legalized abortion, voted against the ban on partial-birth abortion that was enacted into law in 2003.
At a May 6 Catholic Community Conference on Capitol Hill, the speaker said: “They ask me all the time, ‘What is your favorite this? What is your favorite that? What is your favorite that?’ And one time, ‘What is your favorite word?’ And I said, ‘My favorite word? That is really easy. My favorite word is the Word, is the Word. And that is everything. It says it all for us. And you know the biblical reference, you know the Gospel reference of the Word.”
“And that Word,” Pelosi said, “is, we have to give voice to what that means in terms of public policy that would be in keeping with the values of the Word. The Word. Isn’t it a beautiful word when you think of it? It just covers everything. The Word.
