Bishops have jurisdiction over a place; they aren’t free-floating plenipotentiaries. Biden would be under either Wilmington, DE or Washington. Abp Cordileone’s decree against Pelosi is strictly only enforceable in San Francisco. I guarantee she’ll attempt to take communion in DC or Florida or wherever.
I don’t think the Archbishop will cave, not so sure about Rome.
I just read what Bishop Cordileone said, he’d sent her numerous letters to talk about the situation pastorally and she ignored him.
Since he tried to talk to her on the subject privately, I don’t think they will cave, or they can’t.
Now, the Bishops need to go down the list of Dem CINO abortion promoters and put them all on notice. It’ll be good for real Catholics.
She shouldn’t be receiving the Eucharist while in a state of mortal sin anyway, so this is for her own good. But the media don’t see it that way. They twist it into being some sort of punishment. Whatever.
Nit only that, they have hired an exorcist to confront the demon Baby Killer at the doors of the church!
She will be compelled to bath in Holy water!
She DOES need cleaning up.

Question begs - why did it take this long?
I nominate Bishop Cordileone for Pope!
Wait, what? Catholics holding politicians accountable?
I had to look twice to make sure this wasn’t the Bee or something.
The pope will fire this goodman ...
Good for the Archbishop. Frankly, I am surprised he had the backbone. For too long the Church has left these leftist baby killer politicians slide.
In one sense, I can see how an elected official would keep their faith and their public duties separate, as the law is not based on religion.
But as you stated, abortion is much larger than a religious issue. And many laws reflect a similarity to religious guidance-expected since religion and government provide a basis of stability and order in society.
I believe the archbishop got this right-she can still vote to establish access to abortion, but if so doing, she cannot call herself a "devout" or even a practicing Catholic.
I think a direct disobeying of the Archbishop will not happen. If she presents herself, she is ready for excommunication.
No idea what that is.
ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!
The bishop and all ministers of the Holy Eucharist have the responsibility: (1) to safeguard its sacredness so that it is not treated sacrilegiously and (2) to do what he can so that those under his pastoral care do not compound their sins by receiving in an unworthy manner and who cause public scandal by doing so.
What a tragedy it is that Pelosi put politics over the reception of the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord and Savior. The Bishop did what had to be done for the good of the Church and the faithful.
It will most likely be a priest from an Order that is not directly under the control of the Bishop or some other wiggle room.
Geesh! Bout time!
