Thanks Dan! That would be Arelis?

Clever Catholics

Last Saturday afternoon, in Washington, D.C, an aide to Congresswoman

Nancy Pelosi visited the Bishop of the Catholic cathedral in D.C. He

told the Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next day's

Mass, and he asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi to

the congregation and say a few words that would include calling Pelosi

a saint.



The Cardinal replied, "No. I don't really like the woman, and there

are issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over certain of

Pelosi's views."



Pelosi's aide then said, "Look, I'll write a check here and now for a

donation of $100,000 to your church if you'll just tell the

congregation you see Pelosi as a saint."



The Cardinal thought about it and said, "Well, the church can use the

money, so I'll work your request into tomorrow's sermon."



As Pelosi's aide promised, Pelosi appeared for the Sunday worship and

seated herself prominently at the forward left side of the center

aisle. As promised, at the start of his sermon, the Cardinal pointed

out that Pelosi was present.



The Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation, "While

Congresswoman Pelosi's presence is probably an honor to some, the

woman is not numbered among my personal favorite personages. Some of

her views are contrary to tenets of the Church, and she tends to

flip-flop on many other issues. Nancy Pelosi is a petty,

self-absorbed hypocrite, a thumb sucker, and a nit-wit. Nancy Pelosi

is also a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief. I must say, Nancy Pelosi

is the worst example of a Catholic I have ever personally witnessed.

She married for money and is using her wealth to lie to the American

people. She also has a reputation for shirking her Representative

obligations both in Washington and in California. The woman is simply

not to be trusted."



The Cardinal concluded, "But, when compared with President Obama,

Pelosi is a saint."



Gosh, I love being around Catholics!
