Archbishop Chaput on Pelosi

It wouldn’t be fitting to allow U.S. Speaker Nancy Pelosi to have the last word on the matter of Pope Benedict XVI’s words to her on Wednesday in Rome.

Pelosi turned a deaf ear to the Pope’s comments to her regarding responsibility of all Catholics, and especially political leaders, to defend human life.

Go here to watch Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver discussing Pelosi’s continued intransigence regarding her pro-abortion political position with Fox News host Neil Cavuto.

“Every Catholic, whether you’re famous or anonymous, whether you’re a public official or a private citizen, has a responsibility to be faithful to what the Church believes about human life, and we believe that human life is sacred and precious from the moment of conception,” Archbishop Chaput comments during the interview. “So that applies to the Speaker as well as it does to me and to you and to anyone who’s Catholic.”

Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Next week, the Bishops of the United States will meet in Orlando and consecrate America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This week on Register Radio we are joined by Bishop Kevin Rhoades to explain the importance of the consecration and how we can all take part and then Register senior writer Zelda Caldwell tells us about the remarkable phenomenon of diocesan priests living in community.
