I had no idea such a thing still existed, but even the Rantburg archives admit to it. | [Breitbart] Catholic League president Bill Donohue slammed House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
(D-CA) Wednesday for politicizing the Eucharist by receiving Communion at the Vatican.
Pelosi, "who rejects the Catholic Church’s teachings on child sacrifice abortion, marriage and sexuality, received Holy Communion on June 29 at a papal Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica," Dr. Donohue noted. "The pope was in attendance, but did not give out Communion."
"Pelosi’s stunt was done to undercut her bishop, the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone: he has told her not to present herself for Communion, citing her lust for child sacrifice abortion rights," Donohue added.
Such discipline obviously depends on the good will of the person in question, because priests are not coppers, but pastors, and assume that anyone who approaches the altar to receive the sacrament is in a proper state to do so, Donohue observed.
Therefore, even though some will blame the Vatican for what happened and others might blame Cordileone, in point of fact, there is "only one person to blame — Pelosi," Donohue wrote.
In asking Pelosi not to receive Communion, Archbishop Cordileone invoked canon law and is "in total compliance with Catholic teachings," Donohue added.
The priest who gave Pelosi Communion in the Vatican Wednesday was just one of the many priests who were distributing it and he obviously had no clue who Pelosi was, Donohue said.
The priest simply did what was expected of him: "He gave Communion to everyone waiting on line to receive it," Donohue wrote, which does not exclude the possibility that someone will willfully exploit the sacrament.
