Archbishop Cordileone Bans Nancy Pelosi From Communion

 Breaking news

Having undertaken mammoth efforts to correct the speaker of the house, her bishop has finally decided he has no option but to publicly exclude her from receiving Holy Communion:

He was immediately supported by bishop Conley of Lincoln, Nebraska:

This is, of course, the fulfilment of canon law:



This is what had to happen.

Writing to his priests today, Archbishop Cordileone lays out the timeline and says he is not "weaponizing" communion: "I have been very clear all along, in both my words and my actions, that my motive is pastoral, not political."




It will be interesting to see what happens next. President Biden's Archbishop, the well known liberal Wilton Gregory, did go as far as offering a criticism to the President back in September. Stating Biden “is not demonstrating Catholic teaching” with his abortion stance.

    While I don't hold much hope that Francis will openly approve, we can hope he will not openly criticize. In the worst case scenario, he could build on his recent deposition of the Puerto Rican bishop, remove Abp. Cordileone (thereby pleasing the civil authorities in SF who requested him to do so in the past) and replace him with Bp. McElroy, killing two birds with one stone, since McElroy, created a Cardinal in the next consistory, will be a safe vote for Francis II.

Bishop John Arnold - "A Nasty Little Bully"

Pat Buckley has posted  a letter from a Salford priest giving the low down on what is going on in that diocese. I think it is really important because it is a report from the diocese, but also because if you pay attention to communications from the CCBEW you would think Bishop Arnold is the best bishop in the country! This despite the fact he is clearly seriously at odds with much of the Catholic faith and overly concerned with issues best described as mission creep. He advised the Catenian Association to drop "practicing Catholic" from its statutes and is obsessed with CAFOD and climate change, issues which might seem trendy, but in reality only diminish the Gospel. Arnold is chairman of CAFOD and approved the appointment of the current director who is clearly at odds with Catholic teaching . He also loves an "LGBTQI+ Mass" - more on some of that stuff here . To me he epitomises so many of the bishops: he likes the trappings and power but is very uncomfortable wit...

Real Life Catholics on BBC TV defend Church Teaching on Contraception.

This morning on BBC TV Sunday Morning Live there was a good debate inspired by Melinda Gates (who identifies as Catholic) comments about the pope potentially changing doctrine on contraception. The Catholic contributors were Fr Paddy McCafferty, Clare Short and Obianuju Ekeocha. I think they did really well. Uju's direction is very interesting and easily wrong foots those who want to impose western ideas of morality on Africans in an imperialistic way. Interesting that the presenter agrees with her on this. Fr Paddy gave a great account of his experience as a priest. He was compassionate, realistic and honest, while upholding the value and importance of the doctrine. Clare said she had experience of both ways and the Catholic way is better by far. I thought that was awesome! I especially liked her focus on equality and bringing the responsibility of both husband & wife into the discussion. Watch out for the bit where the other lady says "Pope Francis has ind...
