San Francisco Archbishop Say Nancy Pelosi Will No Longer Receive Communion

May 21, 2022 – 7:00 am

Now, if only the rest of those who would give communion would stop giving it to all Democrats who support abortion

From the link

San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone announced Friday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is barred from receiving Holy Communion due to her pro-abortion stance — marking an escalation in a decades-long tension between the Roman Catholic Church and liberal Democratic politicians on abortion.

Cordileone has written to the California Democrat, informing her that she should not present herself for Holy Communion at Mass, and that priests will not distribute communion to her if she does present herself.

“A Catholic legislator who supports procured abortion, after knowing the teaching of the Church, commits a manifestly grave sin which is a cause of most serious scandal to others.  Therefore, universal Church law provides that such persons ‘are not to be admitted to Holy Communion,'” he says in the letter.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is unambiguous on the question of abortion, both in procuring one and assisting in the practice: “Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion,” the catechism says. “This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable.”

This is way, way overdue, and really should be applied to all those who vote for abortion and support abortion. Now, you have to wonder which priest will bust the mold and give her communion.

    They will backtrack on this in a matter of days.

    The left will just start screaming about the Catholic church’s GROOMING of choir boys and the pope will issue an edict declaring the church will not become involved in political affairs and that what someone says about abortion is between them and God and not for the church to decide.

    You know. Got to keep those grooming Priests out of jail. He will double down on Climate Change and Wokism to the left’s glee and all will be forgiven and Nancy Pelosi will once again have the ear of GOD and know everything that God wants to be done on planet earth.

    The lovely Mrs Pelosi, like Joe Biden and the rest of the pro-prenatal infanticide Catholic Democrats decided, a long time ago, that being a Democrat was far more important to them than being Catholic.

    §1415 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church specifies that “Anyone who desires to receive Christ in Eucharistic communion must be in the state of grace. Anyone aware of having sinned mortally must not receive communion without having received absolution in the sacrament of penance.”

    Beginning with §2270, the Catechism of the Catholic Church specifies that abortion is a grave sin:

    2270 Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception.

    From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person – among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life.71

    Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you.72
    My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately wrought in the depths of the earth.73

    2271 Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion.
    This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable.
    Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law:

    You shall not kill the embryo by abortion and shall not cause the newborn to perish.74
    God, the Lord of life, has entrusted to men the noble mission of safeguarding life, and men must carry it out in a manner worthy of themselves.
    Life must be protected with the utmost care from the moment of conception: abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes.75

    2272 Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense.
    The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life.
    “A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication latae sententiae,”76 “by the very commission of the offense,”77 and subject to the conditions provided by Canon Law.78
    The Church does not thereby intend to restrict the scope of mercy.
    Rather, she makes clear the gravity of the crime committed, the irreparable harm done to the innocent who is put to death, as well as to the parents and the whole of society.

    2273 The inalienable right to life of every innocent human individual is a constitutive element of a civil society and its legislation:

    “The inalienable rights of the person must be recognized and respected by civil society and the political authority.
    These human rights depend neither on single individuals nor on parents; nor do they represent a concession made by society and the state; they belong to human nature and are inherent in the person by virtue of the creative act from which the person took his origin.
    Among such fundamental rights one should mention in this regard every human being’s right to life and physical integrity from the moment of conception until death.”79

    “The moment a positive law deprives a category of human beings of the protection which civil legislation ought to accord them, the state is denying the equality of all before the law.
    When the state does not place its power at the service of the rights of each citizen, and in particular of the more vulnerable, the very foundations of a state based on law are undermined….
    As a consequence of the respect and protection which must be ensured for the unborn child from the moment of conception, the law must provide appropriate penal sanctions for every deliberate violation of the child’s rights.”80

    2274 Since it must be treated from conception as a person, the embryo must be defended in its integrity, cared for, and healed, as far as possible, like any other human being.

    Prenatal diagnosis is morally licit, “if it respects the life and integrity of the embryo and the human fetus and is directed toward its safe guarding or healing as an individual….
    It is gravely opposed to the moral law when this is done with the thought of possibly inducing an abortion, depending upon the results: a diagnosis must not be the equivalent of a death sentence.”81

    2275 “One must hold as licit procedures carried out on the human embryo which respect the life and integrity of the embryo and do not involve disproportionate risks for it, but are directed toward its healing the improvement of its condition of health, or its individual survival.”82
    “It is immoral to produce human embryos intended for exploitation as disposable biological material.”83
    “Certain attempts to influence chromosomic or genetic inheritance are not therapeutic but are aimed at producing human beings selected according to sex or other predetermined qualities.
    Such manipulations are contrary to the personal dignity of the human being and his integrity and identity”84 which are unique and unrepeatable.

    The Church cannot specify secular law, but can specify what is required of a Catholic to be Catholic.

    Our distinguished host quoted:

    Cordileone has written to the California Democrat, informing her that she should not present herself for Holy Communion at Mass, and that priests will not distribute communion to her if she does present herself.

    “A Catholic legislator who supports procured abortion, after knowing the teaching of the Church, commits a manifestly grave sin which is a cause of most serious scandal to others. Therefore, universal Church law provides that such persons ‘are not to be admitted to Holy Communion,’” he says in the letter.

    What will His Excellency, the Most Reverend Salvatore Cordileone, do if a priest within his archdiocese does distribute the Host to Mrs Pelosi if she does present herself to receive the Eucharist?

    As Metropolitan of the ecclesiastical province of San Francisco, the Archbishop also holds authority over the Dioceses of Honolulu, Las Vegas, Oakland, Reno, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, San Jose, Santa Rosa, and Stockton. Has he directed his subordinate bishops to issue the same orders to the priests of their dioceses?

    Mrs Pelosi is odious, but she is far from the only purportedly Catholic Democrat in Congress. The Archbishop’s order apparently concerned Mrs Pelosi personally, but ought to cover every Catholic Democrat in the ecclesiastical province in Congress and in the California state assembly.

      Dana, I agree with and support your position. While not Catholic, I have some knowledge of the Catechisms of the Catholic Church, there is even a copy in my library. Madame Pelosi should either change her evil ways and repent or leave the Church. As should other politicians who claim to be Catholic and do not practice the tenents of the Church.

        Mrs Pelosi and many, many other Catholics have decided that it is more important to be a Democrat than it is to be Catholic. Since being pro-abortion is wholly incompatible with being Catholic, or really a Christian of any kind, they should simply state what they already know internally, that they are Democrats, period, and stop calling themselves Catholic.

        The Archbishop of Oklahoma City has praised Archbishop Cordileone for his actions, but the obvious next step is to tell the Democratic politicians within their ecclesiastical provinces, choose: be Catholic, and be pro-life, or be Democrats, and leave the Church.

      Perhaps the Catholic Cult should exclude all Democratic voters from communion, since those voters support Dems and by extension, abortion.

      The Cult should also examine the many women (heretics) who claim to be Catholic and who obtain abortions. In 2014, 24% of women obtaining abortions identified as Catholic.

    The Catholic Church should excommunicate her, Feinstein and Joe Biden. But the Pope won’t allow that to happen because he serves the same master they serve.

    Under Canon Law §1398, “A person who procures a completed abortion incurs a latae sententiae excommunication.” That includes the abortionist, the pregnant woman, and anyone else who pays for it. Technically, it would not include the politicians who support abortion, since they are not paying for it.

      And pro-birthers say this has nothing to do with religion.

    Lots of catholic theologians opening here!
    For the record : in 2021 catholic bishops vited overwhelmingly to support allowing communion for elected officials who support abortion rights Nov 17 2021 US Conference if Bishops 222 to 8 with 3 abstention
    CNN.com
    Nov 17 2021
    Catholic Bishops approve document.
    The document ststes that approval from the Vatican must be approved before refusing.
    That article also says that the Pope himself stated that Joe Biden was a good catholic and thst he should continue receiving communion.
    Teach thanks for posting this it allowed me to show what the vast majority 97% of American bidhops feel about denying communion to politicians.
    Of course after censure by q398 repentance and a quick absolution and once again you ate ready to eat the flesh of Jesus

    Why the Sturm und Drang over what the scandal-riddled Catholic “Church” thinks about anything? We get a kick out of when religiosos start discussing religious “laws” as if they are real laws, LOL.

    The Catholic Cult has been abusing children for some 1200 years. Over the past 50 years many thousands of cases of child sex abuse by priests have been reported. And this Pedophile Cult is global in scope. Until recently The Cult has tried to hide or cover up their crimes. It is unclear why Catholicism attracts pedophiles and approves of pedophilia. A less powerful cult would have dissolved by now. The Cult has racked up settlements in the low billions but some dioceses have filed Chapter 11 to protect The Cult’s assets but only after hiding billions in assets. Smart move!!

    It is beyond even God’s understanding why anyone would wish to be associated the Catholic Pedophile Cult. Psychologists suggest the grooming or brainwashing of youngsters by churches to feel psychological pain for NOT obeying the Cult teachings as a significant factor. Otherwise, what could possibly persuade an intelligent, moral human to support such an immoral and corrupt organization?

    The Catholic Pedophile Cult’s position on Roe v. Wade is consistent with their need for a continuous source of more young victims.

    If one is a member of the Catholic faith, one is a groomer. Speaker Pelosi and President Biden need to renounce the Catholic Cult as should all recovering Catholics.

    And as if a millennium of child sexual abuse and its coverup isn’t bad enough, how about:

    The Crusades

    Inquisition, Heretics Burned at the Stake,e.g., Joan of Arc, William Tyndale

    Declared John Wycliffe a heretic for Bible translation, dug up and burned his corpse

    Pius XII Denying Nazi Atrocities of The Holocaust

    Malleus Maleficarum and the burning of witches!!

    Torture of the Knights Templar

    Popes Sergius III, John XII, Benedict IX, Boniface VIII, Clement VI, Sixtus IV, Innocent VIII, Alexander VI, Julius II, Julius III

    Nuns as Sex Slaves Scandal

    The Catholic Cult believes contraception is intrinsically evil

    Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick, former archbishop of Washington DC, has been sexually assaulting teens and young seminarians since the 1970s.
