Politicians who support pro-abortion legislation are engaging in a new trend: publicly citing their faith while addressing abortion. This easily leads to confusion when a politician’s position on abortion disagrees with his or her religion. It’s a distinction that many in the media all too often miss.
Most recently, these comments tying abortion and faith together are from politicians who identify as Catholic, a religion that recognizes abortion as a grave evil. The latest example comes from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who openly cited her Catholic faith while defending taxpayer-funded abortion.
“As a devout Catholic and mother of five in six years, I feel that God blessed my husband and me with our beautiful family,” she said during a press briefing on July 22. “It’s not up to me to dictate that that’s what other people should do. And it’s an issue of fairness and justice for poor women in our country.”

A couple of days ago, a conservative Catholic newsletter, The Pillar, published via Substack, scored quite the coup.
Using commercially available information, the reporters claimed that the most powerful priest (that is, not a bishop) in the United States was engaged in an actively homosexual lifestyle.
Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill, former general secretary of the U.S. bishops’ conference, announced his resignation Tuesday, after The Pillar found evidence the priest engaged in serial sexual misconduct, while he held a critical oversight role in the Catholic Church’s response to the recent spate of sexual abuse and misconduct scandals.
