WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushed back Tuesday on the decision by San Francisco's conservative Catholic archbishop to deny her Communion over her support of abortion rights, saying she respects that people have opposing views but not when they impose them on others.
The California Democrat says she comes from a large family with many members who oppose abortion. “I respect people’s views about that. But I don’t respect us foisting it onto others.” Pelosi added, “Our archbishop has been vehemently against LGBTQ rights. In fact he led the way in an initiative on the ballot in California.”
Pelosi made her comments on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” In a letter last week to Pelosi, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone said he would refuse her Communion after she vowed to codify into law the Supreme Court’s Roe vs. Wade decision establishing a constitutional right to abortion. That legislation passed the House but died last week in the Senate.
Pelosi said women and families need to know this is about more than abortion. “These same people are against contraception, family planning, in vitro fertilization. It’s a blanket thing and they use abortion as the front man for it.”
Cordileone has said he told Pelosi that she must either repudiate her support of abortion rights or stop speaking publicly about her Catholic faith. In a separate letter to church members, he said he had asked several times to meet with Pelosi but that her office didn’t respond or told him she was busy.

Then she complains about Catholic doctrine.
Everyone knows the Church is against abortion, contraception, etc.
If she doesn't agree, she should stop calling herself Catholic.
Pelosi to Archbishop: “You don’t speak for God, I do.”
Good! He's doing as he should.
“These same people are against contraception, family planning, in vitro fertilization. It’s a blanket thing and they use abortion as the front man for it.”
Not exactly a blanket thing, but yes ... the RCC is against these things too. Sort of. RCC does support NATURAL family planning.
Some of her best friends are Anti-abortion. /s
She ought to convert to ECLA.
Pelosi would tell the LORD Jesus Christ to go to H ...
She’s trying to spin what this is about so she can justify herself. She’s a baby killer. There is no justification.
Your soul is at stake here, Woman. Where do you want to spend Eternity?
Pelosi’s “Catholic faith” is no more than a religious fashion statement.
Some of her best friends might also have been other pro-aborts, but they weren’t given the chance to be born.
Well then, it’s time to excommunicate. Buh bye!
Whoever taught her catechesis did a poor job.
“The Episcopal Church Welcomes You”
She’s as Catholic as George Soros is Jewish.
Don’t you love how these atheists are always explaining the Bible to Christians.
It sounds as though Miss Piggy is planning to weaponize the Catholic Church against us now.
A national law that legalizes abortion imposes her views on others, with the full force of government.
“I am the head of the Catholic Arch Diosis, not you!”
Good luck with that San Fran Nan.
Pure evil. Satan lets this drunken, wretched skeleton live because she propagates misery and false-hoods. She undermines everything that is good in the world.
Just like her idol, JFK
