The Catholic archbishop of San Francisco says in a new interview that
President Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi cannot receive Communion
due to their political support for abortion.
Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone told The Daily Caller that he has
privately discussed the issue with Pelosi (D-Calif.) and that she knows
better than to do something so provocative as taking Communion.
If Biden were to visit his archdiocese, Cordileone said he would privately
inform the president that he would not be receiving sacramental wine and
bread, which Catholics believe becomes the literal blood and body of
Jesus.
Cordileone said its important for church officials to have
conversations so individuals understand the error of their ways, they
understand what the teaching of the church is, so that avoids such a
situation as refusing someone who is waiting in line to take Communion.
I have had such conversations with Speaker Pelosi, she knows that I stand
by church teaching, and I know shes respectful enough not to do anything
so provocative. So Im confident that would not happen, Cordileone said
in a video-chat interview.
In the case of President Biden or any other prominent Catholic, I think
what I would do is if I knew that they were coming into the area here and
planned to attend Mass, I would try to have those conversations as well
ahead of time, he said.
Biden, a frequent churchgoer and the second Catholic president, and
Pelosi, who often publicly references her faith, are among the highest-
profile members of the denomination in US history.
The White House and the speakers office did not immediately respond to
The Posts requests for comment.
In a recent essay titled Before I Formed You In The Womb, I Knew You,
Cordileone wrote, If you find that you are unwilling or unable to abandon
your advocacy for abortion, you should not come forward to receive Holy
Communion.
Biden frequently attends church, including in Washington and during
weekend trips home to Delaware.
Pelosi, meanwhile, invoked her faith frequently to denounce former
President Donald Trumps immigration and border enforcement policies. She
denounced Trump for referring to MS-13 gang members as animals, saying
that she believed they, and all people, have a spark of divinity.
