Are there any good Catholics left on the hill?

I am personally tired of the so called Catholics in this country who say one thing but, do another. It's time Catholics stand up and speak out against this hipocrasy. Speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi heads up the bunch with the typical rhetoric seen in an interview with Tom Brokaw on Sunday’s Meet the Press. During that interview Brokaw brought up Barack Obama’s recent declaration at the Saddleback Forum that the question of "at what point does a baby get human rights," is "above my pay grade." After playing the relevant clip of Obama from the August 16 candidates forum, Brokaw asked of Pelosi: "Senator Obama saying the question of when life begins is above his pay grade, whether you’re looking at it scientifically or theologically. If he were to come to you and say, ‘Help me out here, Madame Speaker, when does life begin?’ what would you tell him?"After Pelosi, labeling herself as an "ardent Catholic," avoided giving a straight answer, and contended that "over the centuries, the doctors of the Church have not been able to make that definition". Heres the video in its entirety:

Under The Header: Protect the reproductive rights of women
Pelosi co-sponsored protecting the reproductive rights of women to:
>Provides that a State may not restrict the right of a woman to choose to terminate pregnancy:
>before fetal viability; or
>at any time, if such termination is necessary to protect the life or health of the woman.
>Allows a State to impose requirements medically necessary to protect the life or health of such women.
>Declares that this Act shall not be construed to prevent a State from:
>requiring minors to involve responsible adults before terminating a pregnancy; and
>protecting individuals from having to participate in abortions to which they are conscientiously opposed.

Where are our Bishops? Archbishop George H. Niederauer of San Francisco inactions of carrying out the necessary disciplines of Canon Law regarding formal excommunication of those who legislate for abortion, he is a scandal to the Church. And what are Catholic bishops doing about all the Catholic Senators and congressmen/women who accept this evil? Absolutely nothing. By their acceptance of sin, these Catholic politicians are propagating evil. In essence they sign the death warrants. They are no different from abortionists. How could a priest offer the body and blood of Jesus Christ knowing this?How times have changes. Now, apparently, you can receive Holy Communion with a mortal sin on your soul.There is one surefire way to end the killing of unborn children and reversing Roe Vs Wade -- public excommunication of ALL Catholic pro-abort politicians, if they do not repent their sin, If you do not do this, then in reality, you do NOT consider unborn children to be on par with born children. If you do not, then you are not Catholic, and therefore have abrogated your authority as shepherd of your flock.I did not know that you can receive Holy Communion with a mortal sin on your soul and yet Pelosi does. By her actions she is a scandal to the Church.
