UPDATE: The Vatican released a statement about the Holy Father's words to Senator Pelosi and those with her at the audience...
"His Holiness took the opportunity to speak of the requirements of the natural moral law and the Church's consistent teaching on the dignity of human life from conception to natural death which enjoin all Catholics, and especially legislators, jurists and those responsible for the common good of society, to work in co-operation with all men and women of good will in creating a just system of laws capable of protecting human life at all stages of its development."
And here's George Weigel's take on the meeting.

So...if she doesn't repent, then will he sign a Bull of Excommunication? No??? Does she have other Catholic "pilgrim politicias" with her???
Speaking of which, Father, I'm sure you know that the new stimulus package, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, has already been signed into law?
Here is Jack McCafferty's take on it:

I think it is criminal, that according to McCafferty, no legislator even knows entirely what's in it. I doubt the president even knows entirely what's in it.
