"...there's a question about whether this canon'' the relevant church law "was ever intended to be used'' to bring politicians to heel. He thinks not. "I stand with the great majority of American bishops and bishops around the world in saying this canon was never intended to be used this way.''
-- from the thread [Archbishop] Wuerl: Why I Won't Deny Pelosi Communion
Disgusting, isn’t it?
I wait for the day that the Pope tells these bishops that they no longer have the right to choose whether to apply this particular canon law. No exceptions allowed when dealing with the Body of our Lord.
Incorrect, yet again. Wuerl isn't Pelosi's Bishop, a fact which escapes you and which you coveniently omitted.
And second? Pelosi, as a San Franciscan, "isn't part of my flock!''
One would think that after having been caught engaging in dishonest behavior time after time, you'd stop that nonsense. However, your lack of character and integrity always seems to percolate to the surface, doesn't it? You simply can't help yourself.
If Cordileone contacted Wuerl and informed him that Pelosi was under an interdict and could not receive Communion, Wuerl would be obligated to comply just as he was obligated to comply, albeit reluctantly, with Naumann regarding Sebelius.
Actually, her ordinary is the archbishop of San Francisco, which ought to free Archbishop of any scruples in co-signing that letter.
