About the only positive thing that can be said here is that the cathylick clergy (in this case a Bishop) has finally done something that has been needed for decades - take some action against cathylick DEMONcrat politician baby killers.

No doubt Pelosi has been hoarding a supply of pre-transubtantiated wafers in her $24,000 fridge - the same one where she keeps her gourmet ice cream.

Inquiring minds want to know if a frozen Jesus wafer has a consume by date, and how does Jesus like being frozen.

And where is Bergoglio in all this - still promoting his LGBTQ+ agenda, most of whom can't get pregnant.

BREAKING: San Francisco archbishop bars pro-abortion Nancy Pelosi from Holy Communion

'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.'

SAN FRANCISCO (LifeSiteNews) – San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone has instructed Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi, an outspokenly pro-abortion Democrat, not to present herself for Holy Communion in his diocese.

“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 [publicly] repudiate your advocacy for the legitimacy of abortion and confess and receive absolution of this grave sin in the sacrament of Penance,” Cordileone wrote to Pelosi in a “notification” delivered yesterday and published today (see PDF HERE). As of press time, the webpage on which the Archdiocese of San Francisco posted the letter displayed an error message.

The Catholic Church teaches that the Eucharist is the literal body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ. The Church teaches that no Catholic who has committed a mortal sin is to present himself or herself for Holy Communion until he or she has confessed that sin in the Sacrament of Confession.

Canon 915 of the Church’s Code of Canon Law instructs that “Those who have been excommunicated or interdicted after the imposition or declaration of the penalty and others obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to holy communion.”

“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’ (Code of Canon Law, can. 915),” wrote Cordileone.

Quoting a 2004 letter to U.S. bishops from then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, regarding Communion for pro-abortion politicians, Cordileone told the Speaker of the House, “I am grateful to you for the time you have given me in the past to speak about these matters. Unfortunately, I have not received such an accommodation to my many requests to speak with you again since you vowed to codify the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision in federal law following upon passage of Texas Senate Bill 8 last September.”

“That is why I communicated my concerns to you via letter on April 7, 2022, and informed you there 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,” the archbishop continued.

“As you have not (publicly) repudiated your position on abortion, and continue to refer to your Catholic faith in justifying your position and to receive Holy Communion, that time has now come.”

. . . .

‘Please know that I stand ready to continue our conversation at any time, and will continue to offer up prayer and fasting for you,” Cordileone told Pelosi. “I also ask all of the faithful of the Archdiocese of San Francisco to pray for all of our legislators, especially Catholic legislators who promote procured abortion, that with the help and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, they may undergo a conversion of heart in this most grave matter and human life may be protected and fostered in every stage and condition of life.”

At her age and shape, La Pelosi should be grateful: as they say, a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips.

Watch now they've offended a liberal, the Democratic Attack machine will go into gear. Expect endless sex crimes relating to Catholic priests come crawling out of the woodwork. Ignore it, it's politically motivated.

Really, Catholics should use Landover Baptist as a model for discipleship. Landover knows how to keep members in line--Pelosi would have been removed from the cue for Heaven long ago.

It seems like Catholic higher ups have to think about sin for years before they can decide anything. At LBC it is settled every Sunday.

[Dennis Lukes]

If the Cathlick elite really cared about stopping baby killing (they don't), they would've excommunicated Pelosi, Joe Biden, Sonia Sotomayor, Lisa Murkowski, and others years ago. I'm sure if a member of the LBC congregation turned from God's light and started advocating infanticide or sodomite "marriage" they'd be shown the door immediately.

I was arrested trying to enter Pelosi's home. I figured this was a prime opportunity to win her soul for Jesus and have her become a Baptist!

Anyway, I've been released on my own recognisense. Will need help with court costs.

Faith Machine, you do realize that as a sheep in The Lord's spiritual flock that you are supposed to bring in money to Him, do you not? Instead, you keep costing LBC--and by extension, Jesus--money.


Have you no concern for God's ROI regarding His efforts in seeing you Saved©?


No good shepherd worth his salt can stay in business if his sheep cost him more money to provide for them than they bring to him in terms of profit off their wool and meat.

I have prayed and prayed about this, and I really feel God is telling me not to rely on a free public defender. He wants me to get the best possible defense.

That's going to cost something!

I was under the impression that the leaders of LBC had some Jew lawyers under retainer for business reasons. Obviously, as a lowly female, all such matters are a bit over my head, but perhaps one of them might be able to help.

The pastors will be making that call, of course. On the other hand, however, if they aren't returning your calls, you may already have your answer.

[Faith_Machine]

LBC lawyers aren't licensed to practice in California, I don't think.

Could you put in a good word for me? I found a good criminal defense lawyer, but he needs $7,000 to get started.


Thank you!

[Unfalsifiable]

If you find yourself inside the big house, Faith, there are a lot of Catholics in California prisons who need Jesus (not "Jésús").

Faith Machine, if you are addressing me, then you are a little off the mark. I am not the one with a Pastor Ezekiel Award, you are.


As a tin-tithing level female who can't even afford to live in Freehold, (Praise Jesus for our online community!), I am unlikely to be able to sway any worthier member of the congregation into fronting you 7000 smackeroos for your legal defense.


You need to throw yourself on the mercy of the court or Jesus. . . or possibly Pastor Zeke, if you expect to wriggle out of this latest scrape into which you have gotten yourself.


Now, The Lord did bless me by allowing me to find no less than five pennies on the roadway the other day. In keeping with the Gospel of Mark, chapter 12, verse 42, I will be sending this largess along to the LBC coffers. Naturally, if Jesus ever saw fit to grace me with an extra $7000, I would give that to Pastor Zeke as well. Even though it would allow me to buy some actual meat and vegetables to supplement my ramen noodles.


Another source of deep pockets is the Catholic church. You never had any "close contact" with a member of their clergy as a child, did you? Because I hear there is a good return on investment for that sort of thing.
