PELOSI SPEAKS OUT AGAINST COMMUNION BAN

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last week spoke out against San Francisco’s archbishop’s decision to deny her Communion due to her stance on abortion.

“I respect people’s views about that,” Pelosi said about abortion during an interview on MSNBC. “But I don’t respect us foisting it onto others. Our Archbishop has been vehemently against LGBTQ rights. In fact, he led the way in an initiative on the ballot in California.” (See “ABORTION BAD, WAR GOOD. ARCHBISHOP REFUSES TO GIVE PELOSI COMMUNION.”)

Earlier this month, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone refused to give Pelosi Communion because of her support of abortion. Cordileone wrote to Pelosi that she should not present herself for Holy Communion at Mass and will be denied by priests.

“A Catholic legislator who supports procured abortion, after knowing the teaching of the Church, commits a manifestly grave sin which is a cause of most serious scandal to others. Therefore, universal Church law provides that such persons ‘are not to be admitted to Holy Communion,'” he wrote in the letter.

The recent Supreme Court leak of the draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade has created a tidal wave of support for abortion rights by Catholic politicians who consider themselves pro-choice.

Cordileone has been speaking out in opposition to Catholic politicians who vote in favor of abortion to receive Communion, which would include John Kerry and President Joe Biden. 

TRENDPOST: The Vatican seemed to distance itself from Cordileone last week after it announced that Pope Francis named San Diego Bishop Robert W. McElroy would become a cardinal, and not Cordileone. McElroy has been an outspoken proponent of giving Communion to politicians in favor of abortions. 

The San Diego bishop warned against denying Communion to pro-choice politicians in 2021.

“The proposal to exclude pro-choice Catholic political leaders from the Eucharist is the wrong step,” McElroy wrote for the Jesuit magazine, America. “It will bring tremendously destructive consequences—not because of what it says about abortion, but because of what it says about the Eucharist.”

The Trends Journal has illustrated that these politicians are hypocrites because they are the same war hawks that support a long list of America’s deadly wars, yet there is no condemnation by the Catholic Church for their mass murder, nor have they been denied communion for their support of numerous wars based on lies.
