I ran across this at Fr. Longenecker's blog and it seems to fit this particular type of Catholic so well. Let's face it... Nancy Pelosi has really gone out of her way to make herself the archetype of this brand of Catholic. So here's to you, Nancy... this one's in your honour.
Pelosi Catholics is not just correct, it is a terrific – if unintended –
pun. In Italian, the adjective “peloso”, of which “pelosi” is the
plural, means “hairy”, but it has also the connotations of dishonesty
and self-serving pseudery conveyed by the English “greasy”. So: Pelosi
Catholics are greasy [pseudo] Catholics.
A cultural cradle Catholic, the Pelosi
Catholic mistakes their tribal ethnicity for the Catholic faith.

We believe in a good argument. That means NO ad hominem attacks. This also includes Pope Francis. Further, referring to him by any other name, may or may not indicate a schismatic attitude, and given the confusion in the Church your comment will NOT be published. Comments are those of the commentators and not those of this blog. You may use a pseudonym... we do... Behave like a guest in our living room and you will be fine.
