Catholic Archbishop Rebukes Nancy Pelosi: You’re “Cooperating With Evil” By Supporting Abortion
Life News ^ | May 17, 2021 | Steven Ertelt

Last week, Nancy Pelosi said it should be up to her own judgement whether she should receive communion despite her longstanding pro-abortion record. But a Catholic Archbishop is rebuking her today, saying she is “cooperating with evil” by supporting abortion.

As LifeNews.com reported last week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she should be able to get communion even though she is a pro-abortion Catholic. The ardent abortion advocate insists she can use her own judgment on whether or not she is eligible to receive the sacrament despite winning pro-abortion awards and blocking a bill to stop infanticide.

“I think I can use my own judgment on that,” Pelosi said of receiving Holy Communion.

Pelosi also said she appreciated a letter from the Vatican that swatted down efforts by some of America’s Catholic bishops to cast a vote on whether or not its appropriate for pro-abortion Catholic politicians like her and Joe Biden to receive communion.

But today, her bishop, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, rebuked her, saying he’s glad she liked the letter from the Vatican because it calls on Catholic Church leaders like him to hold abortion advocates like Pelosi accountable:

I’m happy to know that Speaker Pelosi said she is pleased with the letter of Cardinal Ladaria, Prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, to Archbishop Gómez, President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, regarding the issue of Catholics prominent in public life who advocate for practices that are gravely evil.

“If you find that you are unwilling or unable to abandon your advocacy for abortion, you should not come forward to receive Holy Communion,” the archbishop told Catholic public figures. “To publicly affirm the Catholic faith while at the same time publicly rejecting one of its most fundamental teachings is simply dishonest.”

And there is the problem.

So far, it’s been all talk but no action on refusing Pelosi Holy Communion.

Not unlike that formal correction of Bergoglio that was promised by Cardinal Burke over four years ago if the apostate pope would not address the dubia that had been presented to him.

The Roman Catholic Church stands for the life of the unborn with an enthusiasm matched by no other denomination.

“i don’t say things nicely”

I guess the arrogant bitch could “deem it.” After all, the only thing on the line is her soul which must be a withered, dried up husk by now.

“Wherefore by the judgment of God Almighty, the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost, of the St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, and of all the Saints, and by virtue of the power which has been given us of binding and loosing in Heaven and on earth that which was divinely entrusted to us, we deprive him [the person is named] with all his accomplices and all his abettors of the Communion of the Body and Blood of Our Lord; we separate him from the society of all Christians; we exclude him from the bosom of our Holy Mother the Church in Heaven and on earth; and we declare him excommunicated and anathematized, as well as judge him condemned to eternal fire with Satan and his angels and all the reprobates. So long as he will not burst the fetters of the Devil, amend himself and do penance and make reparation to the Church which he has offended, we deliver him to Satan for the perdition of his flesh, so that his soul may be saved on the day of judgment.

“To this, all the assistants answer: “Fiat, fiat, fiat” [so be it, so be it, so be it].

I am not Catholic but have a deep admiration for the strong pro life convictions of my Catholic brothers and sisters of the faith .

Yeah, right. Let me know when the first Sunday that Pelosi is refused Holy Communion occurs in the Archdiocese of San Francisco.

Until then, it’s all talk.

“I think I can use my own judgment on that,” Pelosi said of receiving Holy Communion.

It's called "discernment", Bergoglio's second favorite word after "mercy".

Until an abortion politician’s own bishop begins the formal process, priests and other Eucharistic ministers may and should refuse to give Holy Communion to known abortion politicians. If a sinner’s own bishop bans him from Holy Communion, he is banned in the universal Church. Meanwhile, bishops of all dioceses may publicly ban abortion politicians from Holy Communion in their dioceses.

Far from her only "cooperation" with evil.

I'm sure the Archbishop chose his words carefully, but personally I think "perpetrating" would be a better word.

KR - you mean "the Catholic Church" - we're not talking about just the million odd Catholics in the city of Roma, Italy.

The Catholic Church stands for life
