The Pope’s rebuke of pro-abortion Catholic Nancy Pelosi was diplomatically worded, of course.

More from Ed Morrissey:

Message from Benedict: Study more. And he sent another message as well — that those with higher positions have higher responsibilities not to formally cooperate with the sin of abortion. That message undoubtedly was intended not just for Pelosi but for the entire class of Catholic politicians who support abortion rights, like Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and Joe Biden, among others.
