Pelosi Knocks Archbishop After Barring Her From Communion: He Is ‘Vehemently Against LGBTQ Rights’

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is addressing San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone’s decision to prevent her from receiving communion over her pro-choice stance.

During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Tuesday, Pelosi was asked about the move.

“Let’s just say that I wonder about the death penalty, which I’m opposed to, so is the church, but they take no actions against people who may not share their view,” the California Democrat said.

She continued, “Thank you for referencing the Gospel of Matthew, which is sort of the agenda of the church that is rejected by many who side with them on terminating a pregnancy. So we just have to be prayerful, we have to be respectful. I come from a largely pro-life Italian American Catholic family. So I respect people’s views about that. But I don’t respect us foisting it onto others.”

“Now, our archbishop has been vehemently against LGBTQ rights,” she added.

The Catholic Church is opposed to the death penalty, and Pope Francis stated in 2018, “The Church is firmly committed to calling for its abolition worldwide.”
