I'll believe it when they turn away John Kerry from getting his cracker.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi 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.

Yeah like the pedophile San Fran Priests are going to listen to Rome.
Will someone please mail Donald Wuerl a pair of reading glasses? He seems to have lost his.
If anybody needs communion it’s that old bag.
This should be interesting how Nancy finds a way to blame the Republicans.
She’ll call the Cardinal a ‘religious arsonist’. But she bess not start a fight with the Vatican.
They should put Congressman Juan Vargas (D) California on that list too. He has been seen at communion in San Diego recently. His voting record is the same as Pelosi’s.
Exactly. She'll just find a sodomite priest willing to thumb their nose at the Vatican. And there will be no consequences for doing so.
Committed is more like it.
She claimed that being pro abortion was part of her catholic faith. She is spreading false doctrine and deserves to be excommunicated. The church should stand up for itself and say that the Dems who support abortion are not Catholics in good standing and the people who vote for them are not either.
If it’s any consolation,receiving communion from a pedophile means exactly nothing.
Excommunicate her.
I'll believe it when they turn away John Kerry from getting his cracker.
When they excommunicate her we’ll know they’re serious
Uh... Regulator: They just did.
She had long been excommunicated “latae sentiae,” but she was exploiting the fact that this isn’t a public excommunication. This article is about Cdl. Burke pointing out publicly that she had been excommunicated “latae sentiae.”
Thanks for explaining that. This is a very high-profile announcement. It’s a “We don’t care what YOU think, Nancy, you’re TOAST” announcement.
RE: Mrs. Pelosi should be denied Communion until she changes her advocacy views on abortion
Well, if this is the case, then shouldn’t it apply to all the other “catholic” politicians who support abortion ( and even gay marriage ) out there? John Kerry, Dick Durbin, Patrick Leahy, Barbara Mikulski, Patty Murray, Claire McCaskill, etc.?
When simple rules, suddenly are no longer arguable, as the Church upholds them as grave sins they are.
This might have some real meaning... except I would be totally shocked if communion is withheld from her.
Talk is cheap.
