In defiance of her own Archbishop’s decision to deny her communion because of her aggressive promotion of abortion, new reports indicate Nancy Pelosi received communion yesterday at a liberal Catholic church in Washington.
As LifeNews reported, Cordileone said he formally notified U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi this week that she can no longer be allowed communion because she is no longer in communion with the Catholic Church by virtue of her repeatedly promoting abortion. Cordileone, who serves Pelosi’s home district of San Francisco, said he informed the congresswoman of his decision Thursday after repeated attempts to speak with her about the “grave evil” that she is supporting.
Just days later, Pelosi is already in violation of the communion restriction.
According to Politico, Pelosi was noticed at the church and it confirmed she received the sacrament.
“SPOTTED: Speaker NANCY PELOSI at the 9 a.m. Mass at Holy Trinity in Georgetown, where she was given communion,” it reported.
There is no indication which priest provided communion to the pro-abortion extremist but, before he took over the White House, Joe Biden learned he could get communion at the Jesuit church.
I'm sure Cardinal Gregory will get right on that...
NOT
On the positive side, I'm heartened by the actions of Archbishop Cordileone. It's warming up the seats of several US bishops. Will Gregory acquiesce? Who knows.
Very good book on this subject:
The Holy Ghost does. Frank has a millstone around his neck.
100%
Being barred from communion is not the same thing as excommunication from the Church.
Archbishop Cordileone only has jurisdiction in his archdiocese.
The priest giving her communion is not necessarily culpable for her soul. Besides, what makes you think it is a priest? Could just as easily been an extraordinary minister.
Society of Jesus, it means the priest is a Jesuit.
Thank you. I didn’t know that.
Long ago I remember lay people, both men & women, were allowed to hand out the bread & wine after the priest blessed them. I don’t know if the Catholic church still does this, but that did cross my mind.
Yes, this is still practiced. They are called extra-ordinary ministers of the Eucharist.
