San Francisco archbishop bars Pelosi from communion over abortion stance

Ultra conservative Salvatore Cordileone accuses pro-choice House speaker of failing to understand the grave evil she is perpetrating'

The Roman Catholic archbishop in Nancy Pelosi's home town of San Francisco has banned her from receiving communion there over her staunch support of abortion rights, which she has strengthened as supreme court justices weigh finalizing a draft ruling outlawing the termination of pregnancies in more than half the county.

In a letter addressed to the US House speaker and posted on his Twitter account, ultra conservative Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone argued that Pelosi's position on abortion has become only more extreme over the years, especially in the last few months," and he had decided to block her from communion after she had ignored his requests to explain her stance to him.
