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.
A growing number of Bishops are now publicly supporting the move.
A small but growing number of Catholic bishops in the U.S. have publicly announced their support of Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone’s Friday announcement to bar House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) from receiving Holy Communion over her support of abortion.
Several bishops nationwide have expressed their support of the announcement over the weekend, according to The Catholic World Report.
