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.

Archbishop bars Pelosi from receiving Holy Communion due to her approval of the murdering of babies


The San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone announced on Friday that Democrat House Speaker Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi is barred from receiving Holy Communion due to her pro-infanticide stance, which is often referred to as abortion, to make the killing of babies sound more palatable.

This marks over ten years of tension between the Roman Catholic Church and soulless Democratic politicians on abortion.

The Archbishop has written to Pelosi on April 7, 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. She can just go home and scarf down her designer ice cream from her $20,000 freezer.

"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,'" the Archbishop said in the letter.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is very clear on abortion, whether getting an abortion or doing the actual killing of the baby or assisting in the ordeal. "Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion," the catechism says. "This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable."

"Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law," it adds, before referring to abortion and infanticide as "abominable crimes." The Church calls for excommunication for this crime against human life. It's just that they tend to hold back most of the time when it comes to hypocrites on the left like Mario Cuomo, Nancy Pelosi and other Catholic politicians who sees their political power more important than their religion.

PINO Biden, a "cafeteria Catholic," had once supported the Hyde Amendment -- which prevented U.S. funding going to pay for abortions abroad. He flipped on that amendment when he ran for president in 2020 simply for his own political gain because number one, he's stupid, and number two he's a liar and he's stupid. He now says that "a woman's right to choose" is "fundamental."

The baby's right to live, well that's a tough one when you want people to vote for you.

Cordileone says in his letter that "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." He says that since that time, she has not done so and could go to hell. . . literally.

"Therefore, in light of my responsibility as the Archbishop of San Francisco to be 'concerned for all the Christian faithful entrusted to [my] care" (Code of Canon Law, can. 383, §1), by means of this communication I am hereby notifying you that you are not to present yourself for Holy Communion and, should you do so, you are not to be admitted to Holy Communion, until such time as you publically repudiate your advocacy for the legitimacy of abortion and confess and receive absolution of this grave sin in the sacrament of Penance." he said.

But does Pelosi really care or did she only go to church to make an impression on voters? Your guess is as good as mine.

Bishop calls for prayer to stop the killings of babies by Pelosi and the Left: there's a better way




House Speaker Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi is able to advocate for abortion, even late-term, because she has already been born. archbishop of San Francisco, one of the gayest cities in the world, is calling for a "massive and visible campaign of prayer and fasting" for the conversion of Pelosi's dark and dirty heart as she pursues what people who are against the killing of unborn babies have called "radical" abortion legislation.

"Witness the House of Representatives’ passage of HR 3755, which would impose abortion on demand nationwide at any stage of pregnancy," Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone said of the California Democrat in a statement Wednesday. If it were up to Pelosi and the Left, babies could be killed in pre-kindergarten. 

"A conversion of heart of the majority of our congressional representatives is needed on this issue, beginning with the leader of the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi. I am therefore inviting all Catholics to join in a massive and visible campaign of prayer and fasting for Speaker Pelosi: commit to praying one rosary a week and fasting on Fridays for her conversion of heart."

Bullcrap. A conversion of the heart for heartless people like Pelosi means nothing. Excommunicate her along with her dentures and she will come around because she knows it would hurt her politically.

The archbishop directed readers to sign up for the "Rose and Rosary for Nancy" campaign online at BenedictInstitute.org. When participants sign up, a rose will be sent to Pelosi "as a symbol of your prayer and fasting for her."

You want to get mothers of the unborn from killing their babies, get them to assign them a "pre-birth name" after informing them of the baby's gender.  If the mothers refuse, pass a bill to mandate them to name the child, or at the very least, have the physician give the baby a name. Make it real for the mothers about what an abortion is and does,

Cordileone's statement came amid a raging abortion debate, which gained steam this month when the Supreme Court allowed Texas to implement its heartbeat bill. The return of a conservative majority to the Supreme Court has also prompted discussion about Congress codifying Roe v. Wade in case it's overturned.

How any Catholic, or even any Christian, Jew or Muslim for that matter, could vote for a Democrat, is beyond belief.  And the fact that priests are still allowing Pelosi and Biden, for example, to receive holy communion, kind of takes the holy out of it. In fact, holy communion has become like immigration; anyone can do it because there are no standards.

Cardinal Cupich okay with communion for pro-baby killers



The main reason many states that allow for the killing of the unborn do not allow the mothers to see the ultrasound of their baby within is because they see that it's a human life they would be ending and they often don't go through with the murder. I'm using blunt words to describe what liberals call "terminating a pregnancy." That used to be the term doctors applied for the birth of the child, not the killing of one. So forgive me for being unabashedly blunt, but I'm telling it like it is because I hope if even one baby is saved by the truth, then my blogging is worth the effort. 

The Cardinal of Chicago Blase Cupich [as a kid they must've teased him with the sobriquet "Jock Itch"] will now allow state politicians, who assisted in passing a law that allows women the legal right to kill their unborn child, to receive Holy Communion, aka the body and blood of Jesus Christ.

Imagine what Jesus is thinking. It's kind of like allowing Muslims who believe in jihad by the sword to slaughter nonbelievers. Really, what's the actual difference?

Speaking with Catholic News Agency, the Chicago-style Cardinal said that barring pro-abortion Catholic politicians from receiving Holy Communion would be "counterproductive."

Counterproductive? What would be produced by allowing them to receive Holy Communion other than more dead babies? Perhaps if the Church refused them Holy Communion it would make a difference to them. In fact, since they're okay with killing the unborn, what really makes them Catholic or Christian, for that matter, other than their claim of being so?

Cupich told CNA, "I think it would be counterproductive to impose sanctions, simply because they don’t change anybody’s minds, but it also takes away from the fact that an elected official has to deal with the judgment seat of God, not just the judgment seat of a bishop. I think that’s much more powerful. I have always approached the issue saying that the bishop’s primary responsibility is to teach, and I will continue to do that."

The purpose of not allowing Catholics to receive Holy Communion isn't to change their minds. The purpose is to prevent someone from receiving Holy Communion whose soul is unclean, in the eyes of the Church. But even so, it's probable that it would change at least one mind, and that's a start.

According to Catholic Canon Law 915, people who publicly express grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion. The Catholic Church has always taught abortion to be intrinsically evil and that people who either procure or support the practice are in grave error that can only be reconciled through the sacrament of Confession. 

So Cardinal Cupich is one hell of a Cardinal. Maybe a better sobriquet now would be Cardinal Culpable.

Some of my best friends were almost aborted.
