San Francisco archbishop: Biden and Pelosi can’t take Communion over abortion:

The Catholic archbishop of San Francisco says in a new interview that President Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi cannot receive Communion due to their political support for abortion.

Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone told The Daily Caller that he has privately discussed the issue with Pelosi (D-Calif.) and that she knows better than to do something “so provocative” as taking Communion.

If Biden were to visit his archdiocese, Cordileone said he would privately inform the president that he would not be receiving sacramental wine and bread, which Catholics believe becomes the literal blood and body of Jesus.

Cordileone said it’s important for church officials to have “conversations” so individuals “understand the error of their ways, they understand what the teaching of the church is, so that avoids such a situation” as refusing someone who is waiting in line to take Communion. —>READ MORE HERE

“The U.S. Archbishops and the Bishops Conference doesn’t want you to receive Communion,” a reporter said Thursday. “Your remarks on that?”

“No, they don’t. No,” Ms. Pelosi replied, Catholic News Agency reported. “I think I can use my own judgment on that.” —>READ MORE HERE
