VATICAN CITY (SR) - The Vatican's Press Office has confirmed that Pope Benedict will be receiving U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi in an audience on Wednesday.
Pelosi, a self-proclaimed "ardent Catholic" who has sparked significant criticism from fellow Catholics in the U.S. for her pro-abortion views, last year attempted to offer a justification for why Catholics could support abortion and remain in good standing with the Church by giving a convoluted explanation based on retarded misquotes of Sts. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas on "Meet the Press."
Pelosi's pretention at reinterpreting Catholic moral and theological teaching elicited strong criticism from scores of U.S. cardinals, archbishops, bishops, as well as every human being with an IQ over 50 who's ever read a Bible.
An unidentified Vatican representative said Pope Benedict was looking forward to meeting Mrs. Pelosi, saying the Holy Pontiff can't wait to "slap the stupid out of that Godless pinhead."
