House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was spotted at Mass in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, where she did receive Holy Communion.
The California Democrat, whose hometown San Francisco archbishop banned her from taking part in the sacrament as a result of her abortion stance, attended the 9 a.m. Mass at Holy Trinity in the Georgetown neighborhood, according to Politico.
Cardinal Wilton Gregory of the Archdiocese of Washington has not publicly commented on whether the Speaker can receive the Eucharist.

Word is Madame Pelosi slipped the bishop a secret list with the names of mute alter boys that were trafficked across the southern border.
She has no idea what it means. If she did, she would voluntarily not take it.
The Bishop of SF has no say over what they do in MD.
Pelosi is the one going to hell. Not the priest.
What does she care? She knows shes going straight to hell already.
“The Bishop of SF has no say over what they do in MD.”
Who does God have “say over”? Sometimes it’s smart to eliminate the middle man and just work directly with God.
I guess she thinks this proves “what a good Catholic” she is?
she’s an embarrassment to her country, state, AND Church
I bet Bergoglio approved of her getting communion, he only hates Trump supporters.
I don’t know if Pelousy lectures our Creator (though it certainly would not be surprising)
but she did lecture his “vicar on earth” (Pope) when she visited the Vatican, per news reports
and yes, it was all about how wonderful mass-scale baby murdering factories are
Are we to be surprised that the demonic rot of DC is also in the churches?
This is something to remember the next time a Catholic accuses Protestants of believing “everyone is a pope”. LOL
‘Assuming’ she actually believes that she abortion is OK before God, rather than a ‘sop’ to democrat ‘Christians’, she would be VERY wise to ask Holy Spirit for HIS guidance. Right now, her future looks eternally hot!
God already said his peace in 1 Cor 11. Pelosi doesn’t listen to him either.
Really? I mean Nancy believes she’s her own Pope, but we all already knew that. If she had integrity, she would join one of the many liberal Protestant churches that think exactly like the does. I’m sure the United Church of Christ would roll out the red carpet for her in a New York minute.
I was speaking of the fact that the catholic bishop in one place gave her the "interpretation" she wanted different from the catholic bishop at another place. Evidently the RCC leaders themselves have a multitude of denominations.
Dear Catholics ... keep us posted regarding fire and brimstone or the striking of blindness, or the laming of the shrew, or . . . .
The worst part of this is the example she is showing to other Catholics, actually leading people to spite the sacraments.
Duh.
But the conversation is about how the Catholic Church operates. Your point is for another thread.
"There are nine ways of assisting in another's sin: 1) by counsel; 2) by command; 3) by consent; 4) by provocation; 5) by praise or flattery; 6) by concealment; 7) by partaking; 8) by silence; and 9) by defense of the ill done. Each one of these is “an attitude or behavior which leads another to do evil” (CCC 2284), which is how the Catechism defines the sin of scandal. When we speak of presidents, priests, or politicians behaving scandalously, what we mean is that they are leading others to do evil, not that they're doing something shocking, but that by their example, they lead others to behave in the same way. They lead others into thinking that that sort of behavior is not sinful when it really is."
Thank you, Thread Monitor. My point EXACTLY is for this thread as it features how the Catholic denomination “operates”, i.e., sticking a mortal between the member and God.
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” I Timothy 2:5
