What hasn’t been looked at, politically speaking, is that Pelosi is on her last legs as Speaker of the House. When the Republicans win big in November, Pelosi will step down, retire, rather than be under a “racist” Republican leader. Pride before a fault. Her lame duck status is perfect timing for the Archbishop.
Correct move by Abp Cordileone pursuant to Canon 915, if rather belated. Some of his episcopal colleagues are supportive; most are hiding under their desks!
What I would also like to read is some historical perspective. Did the Church did something similar to political leaders before? Of course, we did not have representative democracy for most of Church life; and we did not have widespread abortion (although it was more common than people think); still, there would be similar issues even with emperors, kings, and feudals.
Did something like this happen before? Did it actually help?
I had to laugh when I heard that Whoopi Goldber told her audience that it's not AB Cordelione's job to decide who can and can't receive Communion. The woman has an opinion on everything, including things of which she is totally ignorant.
As a supporter of the "godfather" Cordileone, it must be understood that the Archdiocese of San Francisco has nine suffragan dioceses within its authority structure. The Diocese of Santa Rosa is but one.
I am sure that someone already made you aware, but the province of New Jersey has permanently changed the Ascension to the Seventh Sunday of Easter--beginning this year.
This just shows how Protestantized so many of our Catholics have become. I am not disparaging protestants because many of them are better Christians than many Catholics. But, if you want to act and believe like a protestant, then leave our Church and join them. If you choose to tie a millstone around your own neck then we can't stop you, but don't tie one around other Catholics who are uneducated in true Catholic teaching.
Here in scenic, sunny Pittsburgh, Ascension Thursday falls on a Thursday, one of many valid reasons to move here (I do not know what any of the other reasons are however).
I will ask Blessed James Alberione to pray for the ADW.
Sadly Pelosi , Biden and de Lauro of ct. Etc. . Regard rc faith and morrals Sexual and otherwise as a
JOKE. . Many of thr Rc cino bishops like Gregory ,Dolan, Lori ,Tobin of Nj and O malley etc. Give substance to those false perceptions of them ......
SADLY THEY BIDEN and Pelosi etc. plus lapsed rc sen .Reed, .Warren, Leahy and Collins of New england view their silence as Acquiescence........... Inaction on communion denial for blanton promotion. Of Abortion in ALL NINE MONTHS OF PREGNANCY by lapsed Catholic pols. at the recent Baltimore bishops
Convention and ineptitude of Gregory and the vatican GIVES a bad example . They are not following ab Cordeleones courageous lead on this ..
Interestingly, in the Southern Baptist Sexual Scandals, there is no mention that NONE of these perpetrators are celibate? All secular or married. Was attribution to celibacy of the Roman Catholic scandals a form of Main Stream Media (MSM) Catholic persecution and bigotry? There is no celibacy in these reported scandals but they sure sound like the same horrible problems! My point…..these horrible problems relate to man’s concupiscence and not to the required vow of celibacy! We are once again learning that sins come from inside man and not from the vow of discipline, obedience, and sacrificial celibacy. We, Catholics, can learn that it is NOT the celibacy that is cause for this problem! Please take note! And let that notion be dispelled………
Changing the subject to the Ascension. Why we would change when to celebrate the one event we are most sure *when* it happened really escapes my comprehension. As we read in the acts of the Apostles, Jesus appear to them for 40 days. And as a bonus, we who don't leave in the few provinces that left things as they properly were, all but forgo the Seventh Sunday of Easter. I honestly don't get it.
I would respectfully request that The Pillar (or an informed reader) explain why the Church is not clearly in schism if two archbishops fundamentally disagree on the meaning/validity of a Church Canon, specifically, Canon 915?
Great article in the Washington Post by Mary Eberstadt holds the Panula Chair in Christian Culture at the Catholic Information Center in D.C. and is a senior research fellow with the Faith & Reason Institute. She defines what is occurring by this decision of Cardinal Cordileone asserting the Profession of Faith. ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, AND APOSTOLIC.
An end to American Catholicism drifting into our own personal Papacy and Protestantism of 50,000 lost denominations. Forever in search for the Truth. The virtues of Obedience and Love are called for in Last Sunday’s gospel. Jesus calls for us, “Whoever loves me will keep my word.” And “Love thy neighbor.” Obedience and Love. Not comfort and selfishness!

Let's see what the Bishop of Biden's home parish does.

What kind of person would present herself
for Holy Communion....anywhere...after all this!
