Archbishop penalizes Nancy Pelosi over abortion advocacy, says decision is “pastoral, not political”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) cannot receive holy communion in the Archdiocese of San Francisco, and should not present herself for the eucharist until she “publicly repudiates” her support of abortion, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone announced on Friday. Pelosi says she is a devout Roman Catholic, but called on Americans to vote for Democrats in order to legalize abortion after a leaked Supreme Court opinion questioned the practice.
“After numerous attempts to speak with her to help her understand the grave evil she is perpetrating, the scandal she is causing, and the danger to her own soul she is risking, I have determined that the point has come in which I must make a public declaration that she is not to be admitted to Holy Communion unless and until she publicly repudiate her support for abortion ‘rights’ and confess and receive absolution for her cooperation in this evil in the sacrament of Penance,” Cordileone wrote in a letter addressed to the Catholic faithful. The archbishop said he had notified Pelosi, who is a member of his archdiocese, of the decision on Thursday. As of Friday afternoon, she has not publicly commented. She described herself as a “regular communicant” in a 2008 interview, and said being denied communion would be “a severe blow.”
