In an astonishing challenge to traditional Catholic doctrine, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, nominally Catholic, has taken to telling San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone that he should not attend the National Organization for Marriage’s June 19 march on the Supreme Court in Washington D.C.
Cordileone is scheduled to be a featured speaker at the event, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, which is consistent with his championing of Proposition 8 in 2008. Cordileone helped raise $1.5 million for the initiative, which intended to ban same-sex marriage in the state. He once said, "The ultimate attack of the evil one is the attack on marriage."
Pelosi, who called the event “venom masquerading as virtue," wrote to Cordileone, "We share our love of the Catholic faith and our city of San Francisco," adding that the event would feature some participants displaying "disdain and hate towards LGBT persons,” and asserting, "If someone is gay and is searching for the Lord and has good will, then who am I to judge him?"
The March for Marriage, which was initiated last year, features thousands of people standing up for "traditional marriage" walking from the U.S Capitol to the Supreme Court. Among the speakers are Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum

Only Pelosi’s bishop can excommunicate her. This may be the straw that does it to her!
Pray for the Archbishop.
Oops
Cordileone
But it is worse not to enforce church discipline. For without discipline the church quickly looses it's salt and ineffective.
Given free reign the wolves among us will soon drive the open church out of America. And that is much worse.
I am fully aware. Which is why I specified ‘officially excommunicate’ so as to have the MSM throw a fit and condemn the Church even more but in the process inform the great uninformed Catholic voter.
She’s quoting Pope Francis here—not asserting, as the article says. Good luck with the excommunication hopes.
What’s happened to the separation of representative and priest?
