12. Don't worry, Madam Speaker!

You don’t have to hate him.

I’LL hate him for you!

[MoonRiver]

13. THIS

[Blue_true]

17. Yes indeed. Count me in on the hating. I am not a Catholic, so I'm good on hate. nt

[calimary]

18. Well, I am a Catholic (lapsed), and we WERE taught to hate sin.

That’s what the nuns said.

So I’m good!

[Blue_true]

19. I am a way lapsed baptist. We were taught to hate sin also, unless the preacher got caught with a

teen girl, then it was all about forgiving sin.

10. A little background info on Rosen.

11. why can't you use "hate" in a sentence addressed to a Catholic?

as a post-Catholic, I don't understand.

[gratuitous]

14. I suggest watching the video or reading the quoted transcript

Pelosi laid out her rationale quite ably, and trying to paraphrase or interpret it would lose too much of her meaning. She wasn't talking about all Catholics, but using her own practice of Catholicism as the basis for her response.

I would, however, point out the practice of the media during the last three years (at least) to refrain from calling things Trump is lying about lies. They bend over backwards to make excuses, justifications, and rationalizations about how this or that lie isn't really a lie, because nobody knows what's truly in Trump's heart or brain, and so even though this statement or that statement has no basis in reality, Trump might think it's true, so the media can't say if it's really a lie. Yet Rosen can pose a question that posits a priori that Speaker Pelosi "hates" Trump, demonstrating that the media rules for Trump (you can't know what's in his heart) don't apply to Pelosi (you can assume she hates Trump), and paint her into a corner of the reporter's choosing before his question even gets asked.

15. I did watch the video. It was more of a theological question.

I can understand why it set her off, and I suspect it comes back to the Sermon on the Mount.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven."

16. Refusing to hate is a basic tenet of Christian theology,

Catholicism included. i.e. "Hate the sin, not the sinner"

20. Rosen was- "...Fired by FOX for sexual harassment:..."

[UniteFightBack]

21. He looked like a beaten puppy after she was through with him. I'm not sure but I thought I saw a

hint of shame.
