"Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives for the United States of America, gave the Catholic bishops of America a golden opportunity to be forthright and to say that they would enforce Canon Law 915 and deny Holy Communion to pro-abortion Catholics like Pelosi," Brown explains. "The bishops failed, once again, to use this opportunity to teach the truth about what the [Catholic] Church teaches. I find this appalling."

Hacksaw, you were questioning my criticism of the bishops earlier...

I am pleased that the bishops have finally started speaking up in the past few weeks; however, I also agree with Judie Brown that it’s necessary to go further. Catholics MUST be held accountable to Canon Law regarding mortal sin and the ONLY way to accomplish that is to start with the most visible offenders and those are the politicians.
