I am glad to see that the Pope has made it clear to Nancy Pelosi that Catholic legislators have a particular responsibility to uphold and further the rights of all, from conception to natural death.
Ms Pelosi, like all those who use their faith as a political badge but pick and choose which bits of it they actually adhere to, strikes me as hypocritical.
If you don't believe it, stop pretending.

Amen to that. I had similar feelings a while back about the Labour deputy leadership candidate Jon Cruddas who traded to a lesser degree on his Catholic upbringing but completely disagreed with the Church's teaching on homosexuality.

Off-topic: congrats on your little tussle on Holy Smoke with TBW the other day - particularly amused that you squeezed an admission from that supporter of the spirit of Vatican II that he hadn't catually read the documents.

Yes, I agree with you on both counts.
Worth reading Michael Davies on Vatican 2 and the various ambiguities (time bombs is his phrase) in the documents if you haven't already...
