House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) went down to the House floor on Thursday to announce her farewell to the Democratic leadership and the American people, CSN News reported.

In her speech, Pelosi called herself, “A devout Catholic,” among other things.

“My colleagues, I stand before you as Speaker of the House. As a wife. A mother. A grandmother. A devout Catholic. A proud Democrat,” said Pelosi. “And a patriotic American: a citizen of the greatest Republic in the history of the world.”

Pelosi has long been an advocate for the killing of preborn human beings, saying abortion is about “freedom.”

Pelosi has also gone as far as to say that restricting abortion is “sinful.”

“But one word that pervaded through all of the discussion was the word ‘justice.’ The fact that this is such an assault on women of color and women — lower income families — is just sinful,” Pelosi told the audience.

The Roman Catholic Church has consistently condemned abortion — the direct and purposeful taking of the life of the preborn child.

Scripture reveals that “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5) and the Catechism of the Catholic Church states unambiguously “abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law.”

The Church also teaches, “Human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative action of God and it remains for ever in a special relationship with the Creator, who is its sole end. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning until its end: no one can under any circumstance claim for himself the right directly to destroy an innocent human being” (“Donum vitae,” 5).

As a result, Pelosi was denied communion by San Francisco Archbishop Cordileone. Cordileone wrote that Pelosi, “should you not publicly repudiate your advocacy for abortion ‘rights’ or else refrain from referring to your Catholic faith in public and receiving Holy Communion, I would have no choice but to make a declaration, in keeping with canon 915, that you are not to be admitted to Holy Communion.”

That didn’t seem to phase Pelosi.

Her farewell speech gave some insight into what she really worships:

“Madam Speaker, as we gather here, we stand on sacred ground: the Chamber of the United States House of Representatives, the heart of American Democracy,” Pelosi said.

Pelosi is an adherent to the death cult of the state, not the One, True, Catholic, and Apostolic Church of Our Lord.
