Catholic Culture: Nancy Pelosi—who recently accepted an award named after a notorious racist and eugenicist, and bestowed by the America’s largest abortion provider—is now chiding her archbishop for his failure (in her eyes) to show that “every person is a child of God, possessed of the spark of divinity and worthy of respect.”
What we have here is a spectacular reversal of roles. For years Pelosi has been causing scandal for the Church. One hopes that Archbishop Cordileone has been quietly remonstrating with her, urging her to abandon her support for causes that are incompatible with her professed Catholic faith. Since such pleas have been unavailing, and the scandal has continued, it seems clear that the archbishop is obliged, under #915 of the Code of Canon Law, to bar Pelosi from receiving Communion. To date, however, the Archdiocese of San Francisco has made no announcement on that score. More here.
