Normally the Catholic Church waits until after the death of a holy person to begin to consider the cause for beatification. And this will remain the tradition unless the Democrats in the US House of Representatives can find a political way around the current Vatican rules. You see, they would like to propose Nancy Pelosi, the newly elected Majority Leader, for sainthood and see no reason to delay what they feel is inevitable. We all know by now that women of the US, and in fact the world, have been waiting over 200 years for this moment. She said so herself. And the cause for the beatification include most of the MSM. Take Ellen Goodman:
But Pelosi married young, bore five children in six years, raised them, and didn’t run for office until her youngest was ready for college. She was 47 when she got onto the fast track. She won the Speaker’s cup at 66.
Pelosi was not plucked from the kitchen to Congress. The stay-at-home mom label may be politically correct these days but technically incorrect. Pelosi, offspring of a political family, was always involved in a campaign, she says, “no matter how little my babies were, if I was wheeling them in a carriage or carrying them in my stomach.”
Nevertheless, she was the real mom McCoy, the cupcake-baking, Jeep-driving, school-trip mother who made the pink and silver angel costume that her youngest daughter still has. When she first ran for Congress against 13 other candidates, she had to face billboards aimed snidely at that resume, asking whether she was “a legislator or a dilettante?”
Now, a grandmother of six and leader of 233 Democrats, Pelosi brags about her first career rather than burying it in her resume. So she may end up as one of the success stories that changes the way people think about “opting out” and “opting in.”
And it continues on and on. I would like the cause to promote Pelosi for patroness of working mothers, grandmothers (of six), modest politicians and of course unfaithful Catholics who serve in political office.
Saint Nancy Pelosi—praAAay for us!
