Pelosi Plays Catholic Theologian: Says Doctors of the Church don’t know when life begins
On Meet the Press Sunday, August 24, 2008 Tom Brokaw asked Nancy Pelosi “when does life begin?” The question was a follow up to the same one posed to Barack Obama by Pastor Rick Warren to which Obama replied, “that’s above my pay grade.”

As reported in the Washington Times, Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput has not been invited to join a very lengthy list of other clergy members to address the Democratic National Convention when it convenes in Denver next week.
