For the Fun Of It: Nancy Pelosi and Jesus Christ

1)Christ, to his followers,  over 2000 years ago:"You are the light of the world. You are the salt of the earth."    (Matthew 5:13)

2)Nancy Pelosi, to the press,  in 2012
                     a) when reporters asked her position regarding the Church's teaching on contraception:
"I do my religion on Sundays, in church, and I try to go other days of the week: I don't do it at this press conference!"
                     b) when the same reporters asked about the lawsuits the bishops are bringing against the HHS mandate: "I don't think that's the entire Catholic Church. Those people have a right to sue. But I don't think they're speaking ex cathedra for the Catholic Church."

Some questions for Nancy:
a) Why don't you "do it" at the press conference?
b)Why is okay to "do it" in church if you can't "do it" in public for the press?
c)Why is not okay to "do it" with the press if it is okay to" do it" in church?

d) Whom do "those people" represent?
e) Are they suing in behalf of themselves as individuals?
f) What's the difference between their constituency and yours?

g) Did Jesus Christ limit his words and deeds to the churches of his day, the temple and the local synagogues?
h) Why did he feel free to preach and work miracles in the marketplace, the wading pool at the temple, the village well, city gates, highways and byways, and foreign territory?
i) Whom did he think he represented?
