Meeting between Archbishop Niederauer, Pelosi

February 19, 2009

A spokesman for Nancy Pelosi has told Real Catholic TV and Our Sunday Visitor that San Francisco Archbishop George Niederauer met with the House Speaker on February 8 to discuss her position on abortion. Commenting on the meeting, spokesman Brendan Daly said, “She is not changing her position on abortion.” The meeting took place in such secrecy that San Francisco archdiocesan spokesman Maurice Healy was evidently unaware it had taken place; he told Our Sunday Visitor on February 13 that “she has not been able to arrange such a meeting on her schedule, despite our putting forward several available dates.”
