"With all due respect to my archbishop," Pelosi says, "I think we should follow science on this." But the archbishop hasn't got any problem with science.
Speaker Pelosi is entitled to correct her bishop because, if it's possible, she's an even more dedicated Woman of Science than she is an adherent of the Catholic faith.
It's thanks to her profound mastery of both science and Christian teaching that she's able to know exactly when to listen to one and flatly ignore the other, since, as she explains, "Faith and science, sometimes they're countered to each other." Even if centuries of devout believers smarter than her would argue that the Christian faith and science can never be in opposition, Pelosi is a modern Catholic not trapped in the Dark Ages.
Funnily enough, one of the last times Pelosi was in a disagreement with Archbishop Cordileone, he was the one explaining the science to her.
At a press conference on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Pelosi boasted "Great standing" to defend abortion, because as a "Catholic and a mom of five," she knows "More about having babies than the pope." Yet somehow, neither as a mother of five nor with her Ph.D. in Science could she answer a reporter asking if an unborn child at 20 weeks is a "Human being." It took the same Archbishop Cordileone to clarify the "Scientific fact that human life begins at conception." Which one is following the science?
Virtually every time she opens her mouth, she's blaming Republicans in general, and President Trump in particular, for all the disasters caused by our "Rejection of science." A few weeks ago, while blaming Trump for, well, every world problem, Pelosi showed her command of the facts: "Let me just say three words about the wildfires, and the hurricanes and about the coronavirus. Three words. Science. Science. And science. The science that the administration has chosen to ignore...".
We haven't forgotten how often the party of science ignores evidence it doesn't like.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
