Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Friday she will be joining the bipartisan Congressional Delegation to attend Pope Francis’ funeral in the Vatican on Saturday.

Despite claiming to be Catholic, in 2022 Pelosi was denied holy communion by the Archbishop of San Francisco due to her pro-abortion views, which conflict with Church teachings.

“After numerous attempts to speak with Speaker Pelosi 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, I have determined that she is not to be admitted to Holy Communion,” Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone stated at the time.

“As you have not publically repudiated your position on abortion, and continue to refer to your Catholic faith in justifying your position and to receive Holy Communion … I am hereby notifying you that you are not to present yourself for Holy Communion and, should you do so, you are not to be admitted to Holy Communion, until such time as you publically repudiate your advocacy for the legitimacy of abortion and confess and receive absolution of this grave sin in the sacrament of Penance,” the Archbishop continued in a statement issued by the Archdiocese.

In response to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment, a Pelosi spokesman responded only with a link to a 2022 article by The Washington Post reporting the representative received Holy Communion in the Vatican despite Cordileone’s denial of the sacrament.

“His Holiness Pope Francis personified our sacred responsibility in the Gospel of Matthew to honor the spark of divinity in the least of our brethren — championing the poor, the worker, the refugee and the immigrant,” Pelosi said in a statement. “Pope Francis was a beacon of charity, hope and love for all people of faith – and he rekindled the faith of Catholics worldwide, with a triumphant message of peace that has inspired a generation. It is my honor to be a part of the Congressional delegation attending the funeral of His Holiness to help convey the thoughts, prayers and deep sympathies of the American people on his passing.”

Pope Francis passed away in Rome on Monday just weeks after being discharged from a 38-day stay in the hospital battling double pneumonia. The Holy Father reportedly suffered a stroke and subsequent cardiocirculatory collapse.

Eight other members of Congress will be joining the delegation, led by Republican House Majority Leader Steve Scalise.
