[LifeSite News] 30 Aug 2008--Bishop Jerome E. Listecki of LaCrosse, Wisconsin, and Archbishop John Nienstedt of Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis have added their voices to the growing numbers of her Catholic leaders telling Nancy Pelosi she will never qualify as a Catholic theologian. Bishop Listecki said her support for abortion and misrepresentation of Catholic teaching "gives scandal and misleads the faithful."

Last Sunday, U. S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, while insisting she is an "ardent, practicing Catholic" said in an appearance on Meet the Press that there is no settled teaching in the Catholic Church on the precise time when "life begins" and that this justifies unrestricted legal abortion. "The point is," she said, "that it [when life begins] shouldn't have an impact on the woman's right to choose."

Bishop Listecki said that Pelosi's assertion that there is ambiguity about when human life begins is "utterly and completely false."
