So I would further bet that if she attempts to receive Communion, she will be turned away. Is somebody going to follow her into church and report on what happens next?
For an institution with a reputation for being rigid, authoritarian, etc. etc., one can only be perplexed by the seemingly-infinite patience exhibited by the higher clergy in the case of Pelosi and others similarly situated. But this patience has already crossed over into corrupt toleration, and it will come to an end. It has to.
“one can only be perplexed by the seemingly-infinite patience exhibited by the higher clergy in the case of Pelosi and others similarly situated.”
Like you imply, I don’t think it’s patience. In fact, I think most of the hierarchy would only be too pleased to just keep letting Pelosi and other pro-baby butchery Catholic pols vote their pro-abortion agenda whilst calling themselves good catholics at the same time. As long as they do it quietly. The problem comes, much to most bishop’s dismay in my opinion, when they see pro-baby butchery Catholic pols open their yaps on national TV about what they think the Church teaches. Then folks get upset, and statements have to be made, much to the regret of most bishops, who ‘probly wish the abortion issue didn’t come up so much so they can concentrate on “peace and justice”.
I wonder why Pelosi wanted to meet the Pope. Is it certain that she was the one who requested the meeting? Seems like the timing of all this is a tad weird. Maybe the time honoured strategy of the soft pastoral touch is about to be replaced...
