Pelosi on ‘Disdain and Hate’
A debate about marriage.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wrote a letter to San Francisco Catholic archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, insisting he skip a planned speech at a pro-marriage rally because the National Organization for Marriage promotes “disdain and hate towards LGBT persons.” Pelosi is reportedly Catholic. Cordileone responded with a message for Pelosi and all Christians on the Left: “[I must] proclaim the truth – the whole truth – about the human person and God’s will for our flourishing. I must do that in season and out of season, even when truths that it is my duty to uphold and teach are unpopular, including especially the truth about marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife.” The March for Marriage, he added, is not “‘anti-LGBT’ (as some have described it). It is not anti-anyone or anti-anything. Rather, it is a pro-marriage March.” He also pointed to the hypocrisy of Pelosi’s side, which has promoted anything but tolerance for traditional values – disdain and hate, if you will.
