House SpeakerPelosi hit back against the archdiocese of her home city, San Francisco, for placing a ban on her receiving Holy Communion last week.
Chiding the archbishop for his position on the LGBTQ community and foisting his beliefs about abortion on to others, Pelosi pointed out that many Catholic dioceses have not taken similarly punitive measures against politicians who promote the death penalty, which also violates core Catholic teachings.
"Our archbishop has been vehemently against LGBTQ rights, too. In fact, he led the way in some of the initiatives — an initiative on the ballot in California," she said, a possible reference to Cordileone's support of California's Proposition 8."So, this decision taking us to privacy and precedent is very dangerous in the lives of so many of the American people and not consistent with the Gospel of Matthew.
"This is not just about terminating a pregnancy. So the same people are against contraception, family planning, in vitro fertilization — it's a blanket thing, and they use abortion as the frontman for it, while they try to undo so much," Pelosi argued in the interview."I think it's very insulting to women to have their own decision hampered by politics. This should never have been politicized.
