Nancy Pelosi meets with Pope Francis at Vatican after bishop urges prayer for her
Fox News
Nancy Pelosi traveled to Rome over the weekend to meet with Pope Francis amid an ongoing debate over abortion in America.
Pelosi, a Catholic who has faced criticism for her views on abortion, has maintained over the last few years that she believes the procedure is part of a woman's right to choose.
Last month, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, called for a "massive and visible campaign of prayer and fasting" for the conversion of Pelosi's heart following the passage of HR 3755, which, according to him, would "impose abortion on demand nationwide at any stage of pregnancy."
"A conversion of heart of the majority of our congressional representatives is needed on this issue, beginning with the leader of the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi," Cordileone said in a statement. "I am therefore inviting all Catholics to join in a massive and visible campaign of prayer and fasting for Speaker Pelosi: commit to praying one rosary a week and fasting on Fridays for her conversion of heart."
