Scorned...

 

It was the English poet William Congreve, in his play “The Mourning Bride,” 1697, who first penned the line “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” Now we must update the warning: “Hell hath no fury like a Catholic woman scorned.”

Even veteran Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) watchers said they’ve never seen the Speaker explode like she did.  But when James Rosen of Sinclair shouted out his impertinent question  “Do you hate the president, Madam Speaker?” Pelosi fired back with both barrels.

Pelosi was responding to something much more sinister in that question. He wasn’t just questioning her politics, he was questioning her faith. 

There are two things that guide her: her family and her unshakeable Catholic faith.

The Social Gospel very simply holds that we’re on earth with a duty to do the best we can, helping others. And, in so doing, they’re motivated only by love. Again, following Christ’s dictate in the gospel:  

“As a Catholic, I resent your using the word ‘hate’ in a sentence that addresses me. I don’t hate anyone.”    BY BILL PRESS, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 12/09/19 07:05 PM EST The Hill-Summed.
