NEW: The Archbishop of San Francisco tells @SpeakerPelosi she is no longer entitled to receive Holy

143. Good. I'm glad that happened.........

It is unfair Pelosi is being punished for standing up for the rights of Americans, against the will of the Pope no less, but I'm going to try to see a bigger picture..........

If this makes someone see the the church is out of line with their personal values, and they decide to leave, so much the better.

If they see politics guiding the church's decisions, against the Pope's will, and they find that abhorrent, and decide to leave because of that corruption, so much the better.

Organized religion is the middle man. Like the middle man, they take a product, buy it from a manufacturer, mark it up 20%, and send it on to a retailer for you to buy. In this case, the product is your eternal soul (if you believe in such things).

Society, and individuals, do not need the middle man. Organized religion is already seeing its numbers dwindle in the USA, and I hope this continues to erode that. My heart goes out to Pelosi's for the persecution she is made to suffer for their corruption, but people will leave the church over this, and hasten its demise. That might still be centuries away. Heck maybe the human race will already have destroyed itself through global warming by then, but the end of organized religion is a day I'll welcome. You don't need them to take your hard earned money so you can talk to God. Their own teachings, ironically, should be proof enough of that.
