The fact that Pelosi’s home is in San Francisco and she receives Communion in the Washington area is totally irrelevant.
One of Cardinal Wuerl’s many red herrings is that Nancy Pelosi is “not part of my flock.”
Here’s what matters:
Pelosi is a notorious grave sinner. She promotes many grave evils, abortion among them.
She receives Communion. Practically ANY minister of Communion commits a mortal sin by giving her Communion, precisely because of her notoriety. Of course, a Communion minister who genuinely does not know who Pelosi is is not guilty of sin for giving her Communion.
Wuerl has NO RIGHT to tell ANYONE to give Pelosi Communion. Yet, his having a “Pastoral Approach” is just his fanciful name for commanding his priests, deacons, and other ministers of Communion to give Pelosi Communion.
So, you can see: Pelosi’s residence is a total, absolute diversion. It has no relevance whatsoever. Since Wuerl has NO authority to command anyone to disobey Canon 915, he has no authority to command anyone to give Pelosi Communion.
Thank you for your post. It has helped me to understand the proper role of the priests and bishops of a faith I know little about.
Father....the problem is that NO ONE KNOWS if she had a TRUE CONFESSION before her HOLY COMMUNION.
