The Deacon's Bench
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, criticized last year by a Vatican official for her support of abortion, received a rosary Tuesday from President Obama that was blessed by Pope Francis.
Mrs. Pelosi told reporters of the president’s gift after having lunch with Mr. Obama at the White House. The president met with the pope last week at the Vatican.
“I was happy to receive a rosary blessed by Pope Francis,” she said. “It means a great deal to me.”
