In Damning Accidental Email to Reporter, DC Archdiocese Reveals Policy for Complaints About Pelosi and Abortion
May 24, 2022 at 9:07am
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., has admitted that it is erecting a wall of silence around the issue of pro-abortion Catholic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi receiving communion.
San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone last week said he would bar Pelosi from receiving communion due to her increasingly aggressive support for abortion.
Under Catholic doctrine, abortion is a sin. The issue of whether to give communion to high-profile elected officials who cheer on abortion has been debated for years but surfaced anew after the election of pro-abortion Catholic Joe Biden as president.
According to the Washington Examiner, the publication reached out to the archdiocese for comment after Pelosi was given communion while attending Mass in Washington on Sunday.
The communications office for Archbishop Wilton Gregory sent this as a reply.
“Just sharing for you to know what comes in,” the email stated. “Email since Saturday, when I last checked the comms inbox has just been a couple of random people wanting to tell the Cardinal to bring down the hammer on Pelosi. Aside from Jack Jenkins at RNS, this is the only new media inquiry. It will be ignored, too.”
Diocesan spokeswoman Patricia Zapor followed up to clarify that no comment meant no comment.
“I apologize for the mistaken email,” she wrote. “We have not been responding to inquiries on this topic because Cardinal [Wilton] Gregory’s position has not changed from what he has said in the past.”
“Cardinal Gregory has no new comment about the issue of Catholic politicians receiving Communion. The actions of Archbishop Cordileone are his decision to make in the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Cardinal Gregory has not instructed the priests of The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington to refuse Communion to anyone.”
In September, Gregory spoke about the issue, according to Fox News, saying bishops are “not there as police, we’re there as pastors, and as pastors, we certainly have to teach the faith of the Church. We have to be true to the Church’s heritage of faith, but we also have to bring people along with us. It is not simply a matter of pointing out their errors.”
According to the National Catholic Reporter, Cordileone said Pelosi was not “to be admitted” to Communion until she publicly disavows her “support for abortion ‘rights,'” confesses and receives absolution “for her cooperation in this evil.”
Cordileone said he went public with the ban “after numerous attempts to speak with her to help her understand the grave evil she is perpetrating, the scandal she is causing and the danger to her own soul she is risking” as a pro-abortion Catholic.
Truth and Accuracy

Pelosi has no soul. She thinks she rules the church. Will lie to get her way.What a nasty thing!
Communion is supposed to be about REPENTANCE. If you do not repent, or do not come to the altar with a repentant heart - then you are not supposed to participate. The Bible is very clear on this.
Catholics are generally screwed up people. They think, with the help of their priests, that they can go to church, leave, sin, lie, and be total jerks, and they’ll be forgiven! Pelosi is the perfect example. In reality, she’s Satan’s daughter and is in bed with the priests!!
I am shocked that Pelosi goes to church to be honest. Unless it is a coven of witches. In any event, she probably goes to get communion to get the wine soaked body of Christ. And then help the priest drink the rest later and suck it clean.
The Washington Diocese condones receiving communion regardless of sin?
In Pelosi's case, it is quite unfortunate we have a benevolent God.........
Now Piglousi won't feel good about herself not being able to receive our Lord.
She will feel so bad she'll likely take her own life.
Back to reality - we'll never get that lucky.
HOW DARE SHE MOCK AND LAUGH at God, and his son our Savior Jesus. LOWEST of the LOWEST nasty/trashy/evil/satanic/baby-hating/killer. Makes me puke. A TRUE EMBARRASSMENT to Christians, to the faithful of ALL religions.
The inconsistency in the my Catholic Church is because it to has been infiltrated by evil people with intent to destroy the true faith of Catholics. Just like evil is destroying the USA from within, it is using the same strategy to destroy a good faith built by God himself. I dont think it is far fetched to say the DC is full of evil people. Including the Archbishop there.
Jesus said to beware of wolves in sheep's clothing, and the Catholic church is full of wolves behind the pulpits. Look at the history: pedophilia, homosexual acts, lies and coverups. It's all documented, and this is just another chapter.
Why are they letting this Piglosi get communion? No Catholic that has been raised that way should be happy about this. If one of us underlings did this we would be excommunicated. That's because we are just not important. Those elite nothings are. Sad.
should she be given communion? my question: knowing what she stands for, should she be given two square feet of land to stand on? and food to eat? no, she doesn't deserve it, and she will lose everything soon enough, given her age, with one and a half foot in the grave. the grave is smiling, nancy. just you wait.
church or no church, i don't need an institution to be connected or devoted to my God. all i need is a heart. and those who not only advocate abortion but are on the vanguard of making it state policy, well... those need a special punishment.
