Three more bishops refuse Pelosi Holy Communion but many leaders of the Catholic Church seem to be going to hell

Abortion advocate and fallen Catholic, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is being banned from receiving Holy Communion by three more bishops after Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone barred the unrepentant sinner from receiving the Body of Christ in the diocese of San Francisco, Pelosi's home diocese.

Pelosi's advocacy for "right" of women to kill their unborn babies was the basis for the Archbishop's decision as there is absolutely no controversy about the Church's stance on the issue.


But three other bishops have also barred her from the sacrament in their dioceses as well, and bishops around the country are publicly supporting Cordileone’s action.

According to the Washington Post, the bishops of the Diocese of Santa Rosa, the Diocese of Arlington, Virginia, and the Diocese of Tyler, Texas, have all declared that the House speaker cannot receive Communion in their jurisdictions.

However, merely 13 of the 194 diocese and archdioceses in the US have publicly supported Catholic scripture to which Cordileone's decision was based, and this doesn't make a good case for the leadership of the Church as it appears that it's going to hell in a hand basket.

Meanwhile, Santa Clara Bishop Robert Vasa has agreed with scripture to bar Pelosi from Communion on the same day Cordileone made his announcement public, the New York Post reported.

In a statement, according to Post, Vasa said that Archbishop Cordileone's decision applies to Pelosi as a member of his archdiocese, regardless of what church she might be attending.

According to the Catholic News Agency, the congresswoman occasionally attends Mass at St. Helena Catholic Church in St. Helena, California, which is in the Santa Rosa Diocese. [She said the drive there gives her husband Paul, time to sober up. Just kidding.]

“I have visited with the pastor at St Helena and informed him that if the Archbishop prohibited someone from receiving Holy Communion, then that restriction followed the person and that the pastor was not free to ignore it,” Vasa said in a statement, according to CNA

Not all bishops agree that Cordileone’s decision applies outside his archdiocese because they are fraudulent hypocrites who seem to believe that it's their decision power that trumps scripture.

Cardinal Wilton Gregory, who leads the archdiocese, does not support barring Catholic politicians from receiving Communion over abortion, the Register reported, because they often see themselves as G-d and the rules of the Church do not apply to them. [See also Joseph Robinette Biden on abortion.]

As far as the Church is concerned, people who believe that it's okay to kill the unborn can go to hell . . . literally.
