Hi Bruce, I think what the Pope said was intended for all the U.S. Bishops...as in, "don`t weaponize or politicize the Eucharist." If I remember correctly, it was a Bishop/ or priest in Connecticut that was threatening to withold communion but the DC Archbishop Wilton Gregory said Pres.. Biden could receive anytime in DC! Pelosi is a devout Catholic, as is Biden. At a time when the US Bishops could be standing strong for the real human issues and crises of our world they are doing this political s#*t ( sorry Jesus!!).
Thanks for clarifying with more specifics I was fuzzy on. I remember the Pope's statement and couldn't understand how this priest in SF could get away with denying Pelosi communion. The priest in SF is extremely conservative, apparently, but I'm glad the Pope passed over him with promotions of others. Pelosi has visited the Pope at the Vatican, so I can't see why he hasn't come down harder on the priest in SF.

Promoting a guy who is not only junior but liberal was "putting the hammer down" big-time in that bunch.
