No communion for Nancy Pelosi: Vatican court head
2013-09-25
[WASHINGTONTIMES] House Minority Leader Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the the Socialist paradise of San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace...
 has no Catholic right to be granted Communion, said the leading cardinal of the highest court at the Vatican. Mrs. Pelosi should be denied Communion until she changes her advocacy views on abortion, Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke said, according to the Western Center for Journalism.

That's canon law, not opinion, he said. Canon 915 states that Catholics who are stubbornly contrary "in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion And Cardinal Burke said Mrs. Pelosi fits the definition. "Certainly this is a case when Canon 915 must be applied," he said, the Western Center for Journalism reported. "This is a person who obstinately, after repeated admonitions, persists in a grave sin -- cooperating with the crime of procured abortion -- and still professes to be a devout Catholic.".

#8  As alluded, the Bishop will do nothing. It's like Scalia making a comment in an interview, unlikely to be taken as direction for the governors.

#6  Conflicted. Not consistent at all here. She will simply find one who will give her communion. Everyone says the Arabs are so religious. They are like here. Some are but nothing like the media presents it. Occult and superstitious permeate the Arab world. Even among the Amish. The bishop calls the shots. You don't like it go to Ohio. Indiana has been popular also for relocations. Electric, cars, drink all modern weaknesses.

Good, I'm glad to see the Church take a stand on that.

#3  Ooh, that's going to hurt.

I wasn't aware that she's Catholic, her views are so against Catholicism, It's good a higher posr chastises her, Bet she'll cheat.

#2  Good, now Pope Francis needs to stand up to these false Catholics, Biden and Kerry come to mind. Me, I'm a cardiac Catholic, if I'm dying get me a Priest, NOW! At least I admit it, not like our esteemed leaders.

#1  Well, it's not like you can take communion while riding a broom.
