A much needed, but loving emendation.
Noted theologian Whoopi Goldberg, ThD, censured His Grace Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone yesterday for his decision denying House Speaker Nancy Pelosi the sacrament of Holy Communion, this because of her unrepentant support of abortion. Dr Goldberg, in her typically articulate manner, expressed this dissent in the academic forum known as The View.
The archbishop of San Francisco is calling for speaker Nancy Pelosi to be denied receiving Communion because of her pro-choice stance . . . this is not your job, dude! You can’t — that is not up to you to make that decision. You know, what is the saying? It’s kind of amazing.
Goldberg, in a softer tone, reminded the Archbishop of the Church’s teachings on Communion.
But, you know, what is the point of communion, right? It’s for sinners. It’s for sinners. It’s the reward of saints, but the bread of sinners. How dare you?
The Archbishop, upset apparently at the reprimand from the distinguished theologian, has reportedly gone into seclusion, taking with him only a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, with the intention of reading it again from cover to cover, in hopes he may uncover other errors that may have crept into his understanding of Church teachings.
