San Francisco archbishop bars Pelosi from communion over abortion stance - The Guardian US

May 21, 2022 1 min, 1 sec

The Roman Catholic archbishop in Nancy Pelosi’s home town of San Francisco has banned her from receiving communion there over her staunch support of abortion rights, which she has strengthened as supreme court justices weigh finalizing a draft ruling outlawing the termination of pregnancies in more than half the county.

In a letter addressed to the US House speaker and posted on his Twitter account, ultra conservative Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone argued that Pelosi’s “position on abortion has become only more extreme over the years, especially in the last few months,” and he had decided to block her from communion after she had ignored his requests to explain her stance to him.

He said he would need to stop her from receiving communion until she “publicly repudiates her support for abortion”.

During that interview, Pelosi predicted the supreme court would also seek to outlaw contraception and same-sex marriage should Roe v Wade fall, which the House speaker has said would be “an abomination, one of the worst and most damaging decisions in modern history.”.

Francis last year told Joe Biden to keep receiving communion as conservatives pushed for the Democratic US president to be denied the sacrament because of his support for abortion rights
