Pelosi Denied Communion
SanFrancisco 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.
My comment:
This is long overdue, and very welcome news. If Nancy Pelosi dies outside the church, she goes to hell. This is a core belief of the Roman Catholics, and one of the things that makes us so unpopular with the world.
Whether we Catholics are right or are wrong about this harsh and uncompromising belief, if Nancy pelosi is one of us truly, then she also believes it, and at her advanced age should and would be overwhelmed with terror for fear of facing the wrath of an offended Almighty God.
I have never known a left-wing Catholic, when push came to shove, and he absolutely positively had to choose between his love of leftism and his lukewarm loyalty to Christ, to choose Christ over politics.
Judging by past actions the Catholic Church will cave on this issue before any left wing leader will cave. But miracles have happened before, and we can pray for them to happen again.
Like the temporary abolition of the disinformation board, and the permanent failure of CNN streaming services, and the strong possibility that Roe v Wade will soon be overturned, this is good news.
