Whoopi Goldberg, who has said that she got six or seven abortions by the age of 25, recently pronounced on The View that San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone has no right to bar Nancy Pelosi from receiving Holy Communion. “This is not your job, dude,” Goldberg said. “That is not up to you to make that decision.” Goldberg then shared her musings on Eucharistic theology: “But, you know, what is the point of communion, right? It’s for sinners. It’s the reward of saints, but the bread of sinners. How dare you?”
Goldberg’s pontifications capture perfectly the secular world’s arrogance toward the Catholic Church. Don’t lecture us, secularists say to the Church, even as they lecture the Church on her own affairs. Secularists insist on their own autonomy while encroaching upon the autonomy of the Church.
According to the Church’s own law, it is Cordileone’s “job” to protect the sacrament of Holy Communion. Under the code of canon law, he has not only a right but a duty to prevent the scandalous and sacrilegious reception of Communion by those in a state of grave sin. Pelosi clearly falls into that category. She has supported abortion for decades, not to mention her many other stances at odds with Catholic moral teaching.

Whoopi is merely parrotting Bergoglio and his two U.S. Frankencardinals: Cupcake Cupich and Wilting Gregory.

In America, EVERYBODY is a theological expert.
It’s for sinners ... but the bread of sinners.
Repentant sinners, more specifically.
It is exactly his job.
Under their entitled view of Communion, anybody has a right to it, regardless of the Church’s rules. Yes, it is medicine for sinners, but medicine can only work on the living, not the dead. Reception of Communion presupposes repentance.
6 or 7 abortions by 25, Good Grief!
It is exactly his job.
yes it is exactly his job and Goldberg is showing her ignorance
