Sorry, Nancy, them’s the rules. Maybe you should join the Unitarian Universalists?

Can I impose on someone to explain what the significance of this is?

Assume the reader is reasonably smart, but whose knowledge of this religion is watching various factors beat each other up while dressed very ornately each year around Passover or Hanukkah over who get use what religious location in Jerusalem or Bethlehem at that time.

At her age she should be “studying for her finals”, as in get right with God. I doubt this rebuke by th Archbishop will get her on the right path, but I’d love to be proven wrong.

Many would say Catholic teaching is meaningless and has been for hundreds of years. There was a Protestant Reformation

She should have been excommunicated decades ago.

I don't think the church has any right to deny anyone communion. It is not their place to judge.

What about the millions of Catholics who support abortion?

Pope Stupid the First will probably intervene on Pelosi’s behalf. He loves him some left wingers.

“Let’s see, loss of my soul or loss of the millions of dollars I get from Planned Parenthood, NARAL, Emiliy’s List, ...plus all the votes I get from suburban women, ...”

Tough decision.

“The Pelosibitch is as Catholic as is Muhammed.”

Actually she’s as Catholic as the archbishop. She received all the sacraments. She is fully aware that abortion is murder and that she is publicly promoting it. That she knows it makes it a mortal sin. On judgement day she will be judged as a Catholic. The Archbishop is protecting the Eucharist.

To receive communion in the state of mortal sin is to defile the Eucharist. In this case the priest is aware of the mortal sin as it is public and not confessed. He has to protect the Eucharist

That’s all.

The Pelosi family is ancestrally Roman Catholic, and this was politically useful to Nancy early in her career. But San Francisco has changed, and Nancy has changed with it.

If anything, being excommunicated rallies Nancy's current constituents.

Presently, there are too many “heretics “ to murder them all

To explain things more succinctly: it is a central teaching of the Roman Catholic faith that abortion is the murder of a human being, that being who was formed at the moment of the union of the sperm and the egg.

The Church has always professed this fact and Catholics who espouse abortion as an option are not observing a central tenet of our faith - and for politicians - or anyone - who profess to be Catholics yet promote abortion are in a state grave sin and cause scandal to the Catholic faith.

Excommunication is a last resort, yet Ms Pelosi has had more than enough chances to denounce abortion and return to her faith.

And no, "Catholics" who back abortion are not actually Catholics.

The significance is the destiny of the immortal soul of Nancy Pelosi, and the souls of the several hundred million (or perhaps a billion) people around the world whose lives, physical bodies, faith, and deeds will be affected in one way or another by what Mrs. Pelosi does or professes in public concerning abortion.

The other interesting point is that each of us--including non-famous people--influence multitudes of other people for good or ill, depending on what we do or say. Mrs. P, through her office, influences a whole lot of them.
