WASHINGTON -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushed back Friday against the Catholic archbishop of San Francisco's criticism of COVID-related restrictions, saying he should follow science rather than advocate for fuller in-person gatherings for Mass and worship.
Asked about Archbishop Salvatore Joseph Cordileone's recent op-ed protesting limits on larger public gatherings, Pelosi, a practicing Catholic, said he should not be putting people's lives at risk.
With all due respect to my archbishop, I think we should follow science on this, Pelosi said.
The right to worship has become a fierce touchstone in the debate over state and local rules to stem the spread of the coronavirus. The bishop said worshipers' rights are being unjustly repressed by the government. Nationwide, several churches are suing to halt restrictions.
We recognize that the government has a right to impose reasonable public health rules, he wrote in The Washington Post. But when government asserts authority over the churchs very right to worship, it crosses a line.
Pelosi said she attended in-person service recently in her San Francisco hometown, and received communion - picking up the wafer from the priest, as is allowed, rather than having it placed directly on the tongue. She regularly joins online services.

The science says masks are useless. I guess that is why she wasn’t wearing one.

If we "followed the science" we would have never shut down, worn any masks, or quarantined anyone but the most vulnerable of the population (elderly, immuno-compromized, etc) since the "science" has been flip flopping since day one worse than Biden on a weekday. When the science does not meet a consensus no real recommendations can be made.
Dems only follow the science when it suits their narrative.

The same science followed at the John Lewis Funeral.
So pack the church full and no one wear a mask.

Exactly. “Chromosome Lives Matter!’.
To: Libloather
Simple solution. Hang a banner from the church saying: "Black Lives Matter Protest - Sunday at 10:00." According to our "scientists" that gives all attendees a magic force field that prevents the virus from spreading. It also keeps law enforcement away.
"Science" is the answer, I tell ya.
To: Libloather
ABC says Bella Pelosi is a practicing Catholic. Where are the fact checkers.

THIS JUST IN ——Speaker Pelosi: We support peaceful demonstrations. We participate in them. They are part of the essence of our democracy. That does not include looting, starting fires, or rioting. They should be prosecuted. That is lawlessness.
Democraps internal polls must be killing them.
Nanzi turns on a dime and is now lacerating the lefty protesters.
The Dems stupidly thought the violent protests would be blamed on Trump.
Dems even had arsonists/looters/haters (Antifa.com) linked to JoeBiden.com.
The moron Dems are now forever tied to anarchy.
