House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is banned from receiving communion in her hometown Roman Catholic archbishop over her support of abortion rights.
Ultra-conservative Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone said that the decision came after Pelosi ignored his request to talk about her stance that “has only become more extreme over the years, especially in the last few months.”
Cordileone added that the lawmaker failed to “understand the grave evil she is perpetrating, the scandal she is causing, and the danger to her own soul she is risking” insisting that the decision will last until Pelosi “publicly repudiates her support for abortion.”
“Please know that I find no pleasure whatsoever in fulfilling my pastoral duty here,” the Archbishop’s statement concluded.
