Her archbishop declared that she was not to be admitted to Holy Communion, which she blatantly ignored last Sunday.
When it comes to faith and being a part of the Church, submitting to the discipline of your pastor, priest, or in this case archbishop is important. They have the moral authority within their church. When a parishioner such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi believes that she is above discipline, that is when others of her denomination should seriously start to question her faith.
The Catholic Church has always preached that abortion is a sin, and yet there has been reluctance among its bishops to censure parishioners. Not so for San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone. Since last September, he has sought to counsel Nancy Pelosi, who is part of his parish and therefore subject to his judgments under the Catholic Church hierarchy.
Pelosi has publicly stated her support for radical abortion policies. She even sponsored a bill that would attempt to codify Roe v. Wade and would in fact nullify any conscience protections of physicians, eliminate laws allowing doctors to provide other non-abortion options, bar bans on abortions past 20 weeks, and place a proscription on abortion bans based on the baby’s sex. Furthermore, and peculiarly, it would have instituted abortion rights for “transgender men” or so-called non-binary individuals, make abortion on demand more widely available (but also more medically dangerous), and, most importantly, circumvent laws that states have in place to prevent these appalling and evil measures.
Archbishop Cordileone, for his part, has attempted to speak with, pastor, and counsel Pelosi, who has obstinately ignored him. On April 7, Cordileone issued a letter to Pelosi, saying, “Should you not publicly repudiate your advocacy for abortion ‘rights’ or else refrain from referring to your Catholic faith in public and receiving Holy Communion, I would have no choice but to make a declaration, in keeping with canon 915, that you are not to be admitted to Holy Communion.”
For her part, Pelosi has ignored her archbishop and has continued to receive Holy Communion at a Catholic church in DC.
To reiterate: When a parishioner such as Pelosi believes that she is above such discipline, that is when her denomination should seriously question her faith. That’s because she seems to more faithfully follow the religion of self, which is leftism.
