'Grave evil': Pelosi denied Holy Communion by San Francisco archbishop for pushing abortion rights

Pelosi's decision in September to bring to the floor a bill making Roe v. Wade the law of the land proved a bridge too far for her local archdiocese.

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will no longer be able to receive communion in her hometown of San Francisco after the local archdiocese said her vow to make abortion legal crossed a line the Catholic church could not ignore."

Is Joe next on the chopping block?

She'll go to her hairdressers for spiritual advice

Good. That evil bitch probably has a reserved seat in the ninth circle of hell.

She best hurry up- from the looks of her, she's already been dead for awhile.

It's not like these people give a damn about the church. Government is their god.

Yup. Money and power.

That's a good thing, she can not have it both ways.

it's just saved for you ... your messiah.

If the Papists are all that it makes me wonder why they waited this long to reject her.....Not that it matters much to me.....Say two hail marys and whatever.

This is the same guy who praised Uganda for their anti-gay laws, and saids gays being killed there was god's will? Or am thinking of someone else?

The archbishop of San Francisco said Friday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is Catholic, can no longer receive the sacrament of communion because she has declined to back down from her push for abortion access.

Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone wrote in a public post Friday that his "many requests" have not been accepted to speak with Pelosi, who is from San Francisco, since she vowed to keep Roe v. Wade. The archbishop said he communicated to Pelosi on April 7 that, should she not publicly repudiate her "advocacy for abortion 'rights" or refrain from referring to her faith in public, he would have no choice but to deny her communion. The archbishop's reprimand is the latest development in political and religious debate as some leaders in the Catholic Church speak out against Catholic politicians who support abortion.

The archbishop referred to the Catholic Church's Cannon 915, which says that, "Those who have been excommunicated or interdicted after the imposition or declaration of the penalty and others obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to holy communion." The Chatecism of the Catholic Church is against abortion.

That should have happened decades ago.

This is the Catholic church in America buckling under the demands of fascism.

This is consistent with that church's record.

This is a measure of the hold fascism has established on America when that church will risk alienating half of their flock.

Its only in recent decades that what you call fascism relented on this in different Christian denominations. The poorer we get, the tougher things will be. And that is the puzzling question. Prog purposely tanking an economy so the totalitarianism can wave its head from the laws passed over the same decades. And the leadership that comes from it not asking people but near forcing them to be more traditional from it.

Returning to the teachings of the church sounds more like they just shed the yoke of oppression...that said I support "choice"

 

[BULLDOG]

And the Catholic Church becomes even more irrelivant.

And the Catholic Church becomes even more irrelivant.

That started with Vatican 2 and what I call the changeover in the early 1970's by the United States and the Western Nations. We went from a godly nation with flaws to a godless one with flaws.

Cordileone is wrong, as is the Catholic Church.

One can oppose abortion and seek an end to the practice while also defending a woman’s right to privacy, one having nothing to do with the other.

To defend a woman’s right to privacy is not to ‘support’ abortion.

…and even more Christo-fascist.

And the Catholic Church becomes even more irrelivant.

That church did make efforts to come to terms with reality when they turned to accepting the theory of evolution.
But now they appear to be forced into falling back into dogamatism.

How can they rationalize treating all women in the same way they've treated Pelosi?

Fascism - extremism - dogma - contradictions - racism - hating - and turning a blind eye toward reality in the real world.

Again, I have NO problem with them making a statement. I have a problem with them airing grievance's with a church member in the media.

Pelosi is the one who made her position public. It’s reasonable and acceptable that the Church’s leaders make their response public as well.
