Summary

Fox News Contributor Raymond Arroyo weighs in on 'Fox & Friends Weekend,' arguing that the move is an 'act of mercy to Nancy Pelosi' and that one must 'live consistently the life that you are claiming as a Catholic.'San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, who announced Friday that he would bar House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from receiving Holy Communion due to her stance on abortion, said that the timing of his announcement had "nothing to do" with the leaked Supreme Court opinion overturning the abortion precedent Roe v. Jackson and the leaked opinion [suggesting] that Roe could be overturned – why make this decision now?" Gloria Purvis asked Cordileone in an interview for America, the magazine of the Jesuits of the United States."The leaked decision and the Dobbs case really have nothing to do with the timing of it," the archbishop responded Friday.He noted that Pelosi had spoken with him "a couple of times" over the years, but he lamented, "more recently, her advocacy for codifying the Roe decision into federal law—it’s becoming more and more extreme and more and more aggressive."DURBIN'S CATHOLIC FAITH IS A ‘CONFLICT OF INTEREST’ FOR HOLDING SUPREME COURT ACCOUNTABLE: PRO-CHOICE GROUP"I’ve been trying to speak with her about this," Cordileone added in the America interview. And if after several attempts it comes to the point where it’s clear [that] this is not going to happen, then the bishop or the pastor, [Ratzinger] says, is to declare that the person is not to be admitted to Holy Communion."The archbishop defended his decision to make the decision public, saying, "If she's not to be admitted to Holy Communion, our priests and extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion, all those who are Communion ministers need to know that."He also described Pelosi's outspoken support for abortion as a "scandal."SAN FRANCISCO ARCHBISHOP BARS PELOSI FROM RECEIVING HOLY COMMUNION DUE TO ABORTION SUPPORT"Scandal is an action that would lead others into error or into sin," Cordileone said. The editorial board blasted the archbishop for "punishing" Pelosi, instead of "right-wing politicians" who "[vote] against health care or funding for the poor.""Cordileone’s chief loyalty is not to Christ, but to the cabal of far-right American bishops led by Raymond Leo Burke, a Catholic prelate who has led a continual campaign to undermine Pope Francis’ authority," they wrote, before demanding the Pope remove the "radical conservative" from San Francisco.The Catechism of the Catholic Church is unambiguous on the question of abortion, both in procuring one and assisting in the practice: "Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion.
