Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi publicly rebuked Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, saying his decision to bar her from receiving Holy Communion was “his problem, not mine,” and criticized him for not supporting LGBT causes and opposing abortion.
Pelosi was speaking at an event at Georgetown University’s Center on Faith and Justice, part of the “Higher Calling” series focused on the faith of politicians. The March 23 event was moderated by Jim Wallis, a progressive Christian and the Center’s executive director.
In May 2022, Cordileone issued a letter announcing that Pelosi would be barred from Communion in churches under his purview due to her stance on abortion.
Pelosi has long been an advocate for abortion rights, a position that is in direct contrast with the teachings of the Catholic Church. “I have a problem with my archbishop and I figure that’s his problem, not mine,” she was quoted as saying at the event.
At least three other bishops have since barred Pelosi from Communion in their dioceses. However, Pelosi has persisted in partaking in Communion in Washington, D.C., and participated in the Eucharist during her visit to the Vatican last year.
