Archbishop Cordeleone of San Francisco recently announced that he was refusing to allow Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Holy Communion in his Archdiocese and the usual suspects, as well as the mainstream media, have been objecting to this decision by the Archbishop. In this video, I respond to some of those objections and offer some thoughts on the significance of what it means to receive God in this way.

This Archbishop also performed an exorcism at the location where BLM supporters desecrated the statue of St. Junipero Serra in the 2020 riots. To say he is courageous is an understatement.
Why did they desecrate that statue?
@@1685Violin Because it was a "white" male
His last name is in fact Cordileone, which translates to "Heart of a lion".
If you don't support the phrase "Black Lives Matter" I don't see how you can consider yourself a good Christian.
@@Captain-Sum.Ting-Wong it's not about the BLM movement. It was about the desecration done. Those are 2 different things.
He was my arch bishop for 4 years during which he brought the Latin mass back into San Francisco. He changed my life as a life long young Catholic. Thank God for LionHeart.
Thank God for Joseph Illo of Star of the Sea SF.
I didn't know that, Thanks for sharing. Embracing Traditional Catholicism is a life changing, transformational experience. One's spiritual life grows in leaps and bounds. There are really no words to convey!
@@elizabethkraszewski6603 - He has the grace of the Holy Spirit. As Malchi Martin explained, Our Lady of Fatima said that there would be a great chastisement and graces would be pulled if the pope did not follow through on the conversion of Russia in 1960. And right after was not done, we had V2 we had a MASSIVE collapse of both nuns and priests, a mass exodus from religious life into secular society. A widespread, collapse of the faith, emptying of pews, and widespread practice and acceptance of many sins of Modernism among those that identify as Catholic. The extent to which this all so suddenly occurred can only be explained by the chastisement from the removal of graces.
Fr. Chad Ripperger explains that every time a priest has told him that he was thinking of leaving the priesthood, ALWAYS that awareness is preceded by the priest abandoning the practice of his private, meditative prayer. And he explained, this results in a removal of grace. Most Catholics today do not understand this very real connection. it seems that it is something more commonly understood among many Protestants, as well as by Traditional Catholics (because the faith is not being adequately taught in the post V2 RCC.)
Star of the Sea is such a nice church! I've only been once for Latin Mass but definitely want to return. It's a little deep in San Francisco for me to go to frequently but I will go back some day.
Oh yeah the archbishop last name translate to lion Heart doesn't it? That's really cool
@@Halo-wp3zh yup, realized that too after seeing this comment
I am a protestant believer who stumbled across your channel several weeks ago. I have been listening to your channel more regularly and I appreciate your levelheadedness and gracious spirit in the various topics you discuss. Having been raised protestant, I do not always understand the Catholic perspective, and your channel has been a small window into understanding the world of my extended family in Christ. So thankful for this courageous brother you highlighted today who is unashamedly standing for Christ.
Careful, you may find yourself converting to Catholicism like I did. Some of the things that drew me to the Catholic Church was the logical, level-headed teachings by Brian and many others in the Church. Coming from a Baptist tradition, it's hard to find anyone that can teach without raising their voice in that "Southern preacher style" and thump you over the head with their Bible.
Glad to have you, welcome !.
What a beautiful, lovingly written post!
God bless you!
Watching Brian as a Protestant was my first moment of 'man, I wish Catholicism would be true...'
I had my first Holy Communion this Easter Vigil.
@@intedominesperavi6036 - AMEN! Welcome Home!
We must remind ourselves that Ms. Pelosi is a public figure advocating as a Catholic, in a very public manner, that which is in direct opposition to the authentic teachings of the Catholic Church. The actions of the archbishop must be equally public in presentation. Why? Because attempts were made many times by the archbishop to privately correct Ms. Pelosi; now it was time to make a clarification on Church teachings equally public.
She stated in public that it wasn't against the church to be pro Choice 🤦♀️
What this does is says to the world that the Eucharist is immensely important. The Eucharist is not just piece of bread or a custom or a tradition without substance. The Eucharist is to be revered and held with great value. No one is above Jesus Christ.
@@drjanitor3747 I've read the same sentiment on other comment sections. Maybe the bishops in the USA need to get their act together and respect each others rulings.
I am honored to have received the Sacrament of Confirmation from Archbishop Cordelione. He told me afterwards that he hopes to ordain me into the priesthood someday :)
You have my prayers… -FatherPenguin Pat-
@@ToxicPea I lol'd
@@drjanitor3747 what? Are you a sede?
She not only points out her Catholic background all the time but she even seems to use to excuse her behavior/views. This needed to be done long before now (like, this should have started back in the 60s) but better late than never. Very thankful for a bishop standing up like this.
Absolutely! God bless Bishop Cordlione
How arrogant must he be to believe he can decide who receives the Body of Christ. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
This also is role modeling deception for many, especially when clergy do not speak out. It is SHE whom polticized her faith by declaring publicly that she is a devout Catholic (not that even she strives to be!) and by continuing to receive Communion. - to give a message to other Catholics that it is OK to vote for her as a pro-abortion Dem.
@@Captain-Sum.Ting-Wong Pelosi is pushing for the legalization of murdering babies in the womb, something demonic. She has rejected God's law and therefore has no right to receive the Body , Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus, until she repents and publicly renounces her position on abortion. Matt 18:17 - ...if he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or tax collector.
@@Captain-Sum.Ting-Wong not arrogant but following the rules of the church. If you commit mortal sin, you can’t receive the body of Christ. You need to repent and go to confession. And since Pelosi is a public figure she needs to denounce abortion.
I’ve been questioning publicly for quite some time why both Pelosi and Biden have not been excommunicated from the Catholic Church. Thank God for this stand on the bishop’s part!
In reality they have already been automatically excommunicated “latae sententiae” by being apostates to the moral teachings of the church and causing public scandal to the church and her teachings.
Probably because they have dirt on pedophiliac priests, that if the bishops dared to defy, their past sins will come to haunt them.
This whole ordeal proves that not ALL the Bishops are weak and lacking in Faith. Perhaps most are but there is still a decent amount of Bishops that are faithful. We need to get behind those Bishops. I feel like Traditional (and really just Faithful) Catholics are becoming more and more influential in the Church. I predict the Church will continue to move back to Tradition. Just an anecdote, I’m 21, ALL my friends who are serious about the Faith are traditional. My point is there aren’t many young people in the Church these days but I can tell you the vast majority of those who are young on fire Catholics are not going to be reading America magazine. The Catholic priests/Bishops and married couples of tomorrow are going to be small in number but majority traditional and faithful.
I'm young, fairly traditional, and read America magazine....
@@JP2GiannaT This is a blanket statement. It will not apply to everyone. I am just articulating a trend that I see
Same in our community. We have a thriving young adult and family groups - most if not all lean traditional.
The significant majority or the remnant few?
@@drjanitor3747 Inject a little optimism in your life. Have a Martini, get a massage, relax. We all know how the Bishops have failed and continue to fail. We’re not naive. Let’s celebrate this little victory. We’re on the right track.
This talk was PURE EXCELLENCE! Awesome clear precise logical! Thank you Brian!
Right. In a way her presence sorta disrupts the atmosphere of the culture by showing up at church in the manner she does. It’s as if indigenous Africans somewhat seeing a European for the first time. Their attention and consciousness immediately shifts. I noticed many people judging her in that sense. As a Protestant I get it I guess.
Thank you Archbishop Cordileone for your clarity on the Church's stance on the sanctity of human life, particularly the innocent life of an unborn baby. Unfortunately, Rep. Pelosi and President Biden are publicly living in sin, which separates them from the Church and God. Pray for them.
I believe Biden and Pelosi are publicly living in sin on the both advice and example of the scandal given by which Cordileone as a diseased familyist family member "may even draw his brother into spiritual death" (CCC 2284).
For tax and insurance advantages of their families, diseased familyist family members groom psychologically and emotionally vulnerable family members with an occult as hidden, incest connected as substitute mate, non-economic status inducement of "higher vocation" (Pope St John Paul 11's Council for the Family teaching document, TTMHS, 1995, 35 based on St Paul's opinion at 1Cor7:25-34) of consecrated celibates (married in Christ) to that of male female couple marriage (married in God).
These familyist influenced families claim lower fees for services; e.g. education, provided by these consecrated celibate groups as purported tax exempt charities and lower insurance premiums as purported presumed less likely to abuse (when up to six times more likely).
Pope Francis since 10 June 2021 has been without apparent support of Cordileone out-occulting this occult evil by exercising an absolute power of authorisation in simultaneously authorising applications by his Vatican State Secretariat of State of observation measurement terms for ensuring procreation and insuring union in the cases of alleged embezzlement of procreation ensuring, tax exempt charity donations within the family by Cardinal Angelo Becciu and nine others and alleged unacceptable risk of fraud on insurance of need on union of identities of family members of valid and proper marriages by the "Zan" anti-homophobia bill before the Italian Parliament.
Pope Francis is upholding marriage as the keeping of the inseparability and qualitative equality of union and procreation.
Which is worse - physical death by abortion or this spiritual death?
Unfortunately most catholics no longer equate the Holy Eucharist with the body of Christ. They now see the body of Christ as only being the congregation.
@@drjanitor3747 our Novus Ordo parish is very reverent.
@@LauraBeeDannon Not if it offers communion in the hand which is a sacrilege.
Imagine being a "Catholic" and leading or living your life based on politics instead of The Churches teachings.
🤡
Sad
Thank you for your analysis, Brian. Well argued, caring and very enlightening.
Recognising the fact that it's wrong to kill the youngest, most defenceless human beings.. is political? Let's be political then
So rationally argued. 👏🏻🙏🏻
Great explanation and defense of Catholic doctrine. Thank you!
I nice way of saying hey, you’re a distraction to the team🤷🏽♂️
Thank you for this. I often come across the criticisms you address, but being that it's mostly my own supposedly Catholic family, I've struggled to articulate whilst keeping the peace. I'm getting crotchety in my old age, though, so I'm speaking up more, but that doesn't serve to keep the peace, which isn't a good thing. I'm going to memorize your argument so as to be diplomatic in future conversations. "Speak the truth with love."
Also, 3 Aves for you 🌹🌹🌹🙏🏻
I am already crochety , enjoy it, if they complain cry elder abuse . that will hopefully shut them up. Explain that you are sharing your acquired wisdom with them, and as spiritual work of mercy you are admonishing the sinner and counseling the doubtful.
Another biblical example that came to mind: If a non-Levite touches the Ark of the Covenant he would die.
God bless you, brother 🙏
Thank you Brian. Blessings from Argentina
Has a Canadian bishop banned trudeau from receiving Communion yet?
They are all wolves.
Great discussion Brian... Thanks
I always enjoy your videos. You are very calm and well thought out. Thank you for your explanation. God bless.
You have presented a very sensible counter-argument to the notion that the Archibishop is politicizing the issue. Thank you for providing clarification, by way of reasoned argument.
Thanks. Nice image. It's playing with divine fire.
It also wounds the whole Church for someone sacramentally to enact and express the Church's public communion in Christ while also publicly enacting and expressing opposition to a fundamental aspect of the belief it is handing on. That is ecclesial and sacramental self-contradiction.
Communion is't the reward of saints but the bread of sinners. Requiring total adherence to every value of the church to receive the eucharist simply turns it into a weapon that will drive more people away from the Church. Instead of trying to convince people to change their beliefs you simply seek to expel them and forbid them from partaking in the church community. That only hurts the Church. At this rate Catholicism will be completely irrelevant in the coming centuries if that's the path it chooses to take. Also Brian claims this wasn't a politically motivated move. Then why in Pelosi's 83 years of existence and decades long track record of supporting abortion rights does this Bishop choose this moment when a right that existed for 40 years is about to be repealed? To be totally honest Brian's allegations about this being done for her soul require being consciously obtuse.
@@paulohara4153 Partaking in Communion requires that you be in Communion. It’s in the name. The Church, throughout ALL its history, has always required that you be in agreement with all the essential teachings of the Church to receive communion. If this is weaponizing the Eucharist, we’ve been weaponizing the Eucharist fir 2000 years. This is simply not the case, this is for Pelosi’s own good. Also, according to the Archbishop he has been reaching out to Pelosi for 10 years before he made this decision. He HAS been trying to convince her. The Church is also a mother, a loving mother disciplines her children. This action of the Bishop IS an act of teaching. The fact is Pelosi cannot receive the source and summit of our Faith while actively working against our faith. That’s absurd and its one reason when no one believes in the Eucharist anymore. No one takes it seriously. Its about time the Church gets more serious about serious things.
@@paulohara4153 How does "requiring total adherence to every value of the church to receive the Eurcharist" turn it into a weapon? It's actually required that to recieve the eucharist you agree to 100% of what the church believes. That's why only catholics are allowed to receive. Otherwise anyone off the street, no matter how much they despise Christ and his teachings, could receive his body. Paul warns us against this. And the church does try to change hearts and minds. The bishop literally has given her plenty of warnings and tried to meet publicly. She has denied him every time. I'm not sure why he waited so long. She should have been cut off from the eucharist a long long time ago, but he tried everything he could. I recommend reading cannon law and the catechism on this subject. It makes it clear. And the only people who see this as political instead of spiritual are those who have elevated politics as their religion over their catholic faith. The church has maintained this position consistently for 2000 years. Our is to save souls with the truth. Not to worry about our relevance.
@@paulohara4153 and how does his position mean he is being purposely obtuse? Could you defend that position? His logic, backed by 2000 years of church teaching, seems clear.
@@paulohara4153 My articulation of Church teaching does not mention personal impeccability or private belief, but public action. This social dimension is inherent to what the Church is as the Mystical Body of Christ in the contemporary world. Basic coherence of one's public practical profession is intrinsic to becoming and being the public face of Christ at ecclesial Holy Communion and therefore having the full and formal role of ministering Him in the world.
This is the extraordinary, unearned dignity and calling of the Christian approaching Holy Communion. We all must also take up our Cross daily, and Nancy Pelosi's at this providential juncture is now clear. At this stage in her journey she must now grasp it if she wants to grow and to be truly fruitful.
She's already presented herself for Communion (in the Archdiocese of Washington DC). She does not care. I am praying for her.
She has no supernatural faith. She believes she is above God and the Church.
Imstuggling to pray for her…and President Biden…my inner locution tells me…Jesus wants their souls for Himself…that gives me the compassion for my Jesus s sake and Biden as well🥹
@@beverlyerrazuriz1444 Yes, we must want what Jesus wants which is to save all souls and for us to follow Jesus means to take up our cross and be willing to sacrifice for others as Christ sacrificed for us.
And the priest ( or whoever) still gave her communion. !!
@@lynncw9202 Yes. We are experiencing rapid decay in the life of the Church. Remember that the Church must be crucified and resurrected just as Jesus was. Hold on to God. He's got this. I am fasting and praying for these people.
you touched my heart this morning
Why did you name your video “Politicising Holy Communion” ? It gives the wrong impression. Better to say “ Defending Holy Communion”, as that is what the Archbishop is doing.
Likely because it will draw in people who do not usually see videos like this as the name is similar to videos posted by people arguing against the points he is making. It is misleading but it is a smart move to get the people he wants to click on the video. Most people who agree with the archbishop don't need this video and the people who disagree with the archbishop do, so Brian is targeting them.
@@James-du1bd A shrewd move.I congratulate him on his tactics.
@@foxx2990 Brian has openly talked about this tactic in past videos. He said it plays on TH-cam's algorithm and increases visibility to a broader audience.
@@BrewMeister27 I wasn’t aware. Thankyou for telling me, though.
@@foxx2990 Good for you that you took to the insight. Be wise as serpents and gentle as doves.
Well stated. Thank you
Great explanation!!!!
It is time to make the statement!! Thank you bishop, Pope we need you take a stand too, let us protect life and ban abortion and irresponsibility
A great apologetic spoken here. Will share.
Liberal first and then maybe Catholic. This should change the way the public in general views "Catholic" politicians. It may be OK to respect the law of the land as it is but one cannot promote and support the killing of the small and innocent and still call oneself Catholic. Stop the confusion.
Think Divine Radiation. Great video. Thank you, Brian. Peace be with you!
Excellent exposition. God bless you.
Love your take on this issue. Excellent!
Go Bishop C!
Well said Brian Holdsworth.
Very well said , Brian
Well said, Brian. Support for the Archbishop can be expressed verbally, yes, but remember that while we laity don’t have a lot of power in the Church, we have something the Church desperately needs - money. Bestow it wisely.
Well put
God bless Archbishop Cordelione. I sure hope that Bergoglio doesn’t try to strong-arm him into reversing his decision? Won’t be surprised if it happens though😏
The pope does not have the authority to over rule a bishop in matters such as this.
I don't think our Pope is that concerned with what happens in America right now, there's a war going on...
@@majordadto10 Code of Canon Law, Canon 331: "By virtue of his office he possesses supreme, full, immediate, and universal ordinary power in the Church, which he is always able to exercise freely." So, yes, the Pope could overrule a bishop in even this matter.
That is no way to address the pope.
This papacy can't end soon enough. He's more interested in woke politics "climate change" and destroying the traditional Latin mass than defending our faith from fraudulent, scandalous catholics like pelosi and biden.
Well said
God bless the Archbishop… my he be protected and supported…let’s pray for him intensely🕊⭐️🙏🏻❤️❤️
Her receiving it...would be politicizing it. Adhering to the practices of the faith, regardless of who is involved, is not politicizing it.
Wow, what an interesting way to present this subject
The archbishop is doing his job. He is a very courageous man.
👏👏👏👏👏
I like the analogy.
(10:55) _For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes. Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. Each one must examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup_ -1 Corinthians 11
(12:38) Factcheck: In the U.S., the no establishment clause would actually be read as 'Separation of Church from State'. ie: It is almost a requirement that politicians adhere to a moral tradition but they can never dictate doctrines to religious institutions.
'wall of separation' comes only from a letter by Thomas Jefferson to a denomination calming their fears by reassuring them that the government won't impose its heavy hand on their faith.
(15:15) 'marketing themselves as compassionate when in effect causing more harm' ... this is the hallmark of Democrats
"No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and (moloch)." Matt. 6, 24
"I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too. Are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?" I Cor. 10, 20b-22
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will give the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone inscribed with a new name, known only to the one who receives it." Rev. 2, 17
Our spiritual garment has to be clean before coming into His presence in the Holy Eucharist. read that just recently, although I can't recall the source at the moment. Maybe Sr Natalie of Hungary?
But as catholics we couldn't believe in separation of Church and state
This reminds me of the book Solaris.
What comes first, faith or the sacrament (grace)?
Do not give what's holy to dogs or pearls to swine...
It's not politicizing when that is against our religion and we are not allowed communion while living in sin.
Nancy Pelosi has stated that, "It's not a baby until mom takes it home." That kind of opinion is not nuanced matter of "policy" or "politics". For example two people who want to reduce crime and violence may come to differing conclusions on how to accomplish that. One may say gun control the other may say tougher crime sentences. Those ideas are worthy of debate with the understanding that people are trying to solve a problem in good faith. The Catholic Church does not have a doctrinal stance on how to solve except the concepts it teaches on live and forgiveness. The clergy would be wrong to refuse communion to someone because of their policy position on issues such as gun control and sentencing. The Church does have doctrine on Abortion. Therefore politicians positions on this issue is a matter of church concern. Also, even from a civil issue, the US constitution gives us the right to "LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Almost all law enforcement agencies in the US have a mission statement that includes the protection of "LIFE and property". The protection of life is one of the most important roles of government. In this regard the American government has failed due to people like Ms. Pelosi. Its the job of the church to point that out. They should also point out politicians who support the death penalty and assisted suicide.
truly a very courageous. arch bishop who is not afraid to speak the truth and truly care for the people of his archdiocese
I was hoping you would call out Pope Francis on this issue. Pope Francis has embraced Biden and Pelosi and called them good Catholics.
BRILLIANT!!!!!
It’s his duty. His own soul is in danger if he refuses to act as the Church requires him. He does not have the ability to be indifferent, he must act. To save his soul, hers, and to prevent scandal.
Reminds me of Ambrose, a Saint and Doctor of the Church, who denied the Sacrament to Emperor Theodosius I after his massacre near Thessalonica. Pray that the result will be the same: repentance.
I'm currently non-practicing - I know I'm not meant to take the Eucharist. Why is that so very hard for Pelosi to understand? But I also agree with her challenge. All Catholic politicians who deeply and personally uphold ideas that have the intended effect of ending human lives (euthanasia, the death penalty, abortion, war) should be given a letter refusing communion as well.
If they hold these views they are “apostates” and are all automatically excommunicated even if the church doesn’t formally announce it.
I can only hope that a priest would care enough about me to correct me if he saw me acting contrary to the church. That would be an act of love, not ignoring it and keep welcoming me to communion knowing I'm in mortal sin.
I support the Archbishop.
Cannon law says no abortion
Tbf the fact some democrats at top levels call themselves Catholic is offensive
The people who hated Jesus for spreading the word of God are the same people who hate those that spread the word of God today.
You make a very interesting point Mr Holdsworth. My question is, if we are holding communion from public political figures who are denying the teachings of the Church, shouldn’t we also deny to all politicians who work against the interests of the poor, or cause unnecessary war, or any other anti-Jesus act? Why stop at only abortion when there are so many other causes that politicians across the political spectrum are harming for their own self-gratification?
Full disclosure I am neither left nor right nor pro abortion nor pro anything aside from my own relationship with Christ
If they explicitly promote and act in a way that is contrary to Church teaching, then yes, they should be disciplined in some way.
@@binsworth As Christians we cannot sit on the fence. That's just going along to get along
The issue in ethics is which is worse: physical death by abortion or spiritual death caused by grave scandal of an occult, incest connected evil of a tax exempt lower insurance cost purported presumed status of "higher vocation" (Pope St John Paul 11's Council for the Family teaching document, TTMHS, PCF, 1995, 35; cf. St Paul 1Cor 7:25-34) groomed inducement of consecrated celibacy to male female marriage given by Cordileone and other diseased familyist family members?
For a well known politician like her the proper thing to do is actually ex communication for the good of her soul and souls of other Catholics
God help this archbishop because he is among the VERY few clergy we have with the backbone or really are true follower of Jesus Christ and His Church, because we have a lot of wolves in shepherd's clothing.
I know from the title I don't want to watch this!
Question if you are pro choice not pro abortion can you still receive communion?
No.
Dittos to this video. At the same time, where is American segregation of Church and State to be found in the Bible or church tradition? It seems to me they are distinct realms (two separate swords), yet cooperate closely in realizing the kingship of Jesus, on earth as in heaven.
Brian, you missed a great opportunity to reference Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark :/
Yes, you're right. That will forever be my shame.
@@BrianHoldsworth *melting* *nazis* Brian...
On a more serious note, thank you for your work. I stumbled across one of your first videos back in 2016, on the dangers of assisted suicide legislation, and thought your arguments were very compelling. So much so, I thought you sounded a little Catholic haha. During that time, I was in the midst of my own reversion to the Catholic faith. And today, I'm married with 2 young kids and attend an FSSP chapel. Throughout my journey of faith, I've found your videos to be informative and edifying. Thank you for your clear and charitable defense of the truth. I will continue to pray for you and your family.
@@BrewMeister27 Thank you for your prayers and encouragement. I'm glad to know I have some long time viewers!
14:18 I think the real accomplishment is that this is a form of social pressure that just might make Nancy Pelosi take back her position on this issue.
Hopefully she repents for her sin and the blood of all the babies on her hands.
Hey Brian I really like your stuff. I just want to ask, why use Judeo-Christian? Judaism seems very very far from Christianity to me and the two don’t fit together very easily when comparing modern Judaism to Christianity.
If I use that phrase, I'm describing the revelation that is common to both by virtue of shared scriptures.
Thainnos😂
Pope Francis, you need to emulate this Archbishop!! Be a real shepherd.
Another man who needs rules and rationalization and who lives in his head detached from his soul, therefore further and further apart from Jesus.
If she wants to receive Holly Communion she will somewhere else. Don’t worry. She can cheat a priest and the Catholic Church, but she can’t cheat God. She is taking her own condemnation.
I don't always agree with you since you often defend past church pronouncements that applied to a context which no longer exists--but here you are spot on! God bless you as you support prophetic bishops actually defending God's word in context!
Amazing how consistent he is though. Makes one wonder if he's spot on here maybe he's onto something in general?
While I agree with you 100% it is once again confusing that Ms Pelosi can receive the Eucharist in Washington DC per Bishop Wilton Gregory but not from her home parish.
The church is not a police state. A correction is given for the good of the sinner. Someone who presents themselves to holy communion unworthily is bringing down condemnation on themselves. Unfortunately she is among the majority of modern poorly catechized Catholics that probably don’t know better. It is the bishops who will be held to greater account for their apostasy.
What consequences will Ms Pelosi receive for taking communion whilst under a communion ban imposed by Archbishop Salvatore Cordileon? Moreover, will the Jesuit priest be suspended for directly defying this order?
She is receiving unworthily and therefore bringing down condemnation on herself. Any bishop that participated in it is an apostate and heretic and will be held to account on judgment day
Just went to see the Marvel movie Dr Strange. Liked the first one. The new one is …. All I can say is Stupid
If you truly believe in the true presents of God in that wafer the priest hands you, why would you dare touching it with your unconsecrated hand?
I don't see any difference in touching the wafer with my hands or with my tongue.
The Catholic Church allows either. Why would you dare you to presume to speak on behalf of God's Church that He alone gave His Authority?
Would you condemn all the christians in the first millennium who practiced communion in the hand?
For starters, I don't, but if I did, it would be because Jesus told me to: "Take eat, this is my body, which is broken for you."
@Rick. Um, is your mouth consecrated? Yeah, don’t think so.
Herodias
Isaiah 57:16((G.N.T.))💫
You gotta lay off the marvel
Politicizing? Apostle Paul clearly stated that Holy Communion is NOT for everyone.
Poloic
She should just leave and worship God on her own as many Catholics have done. Especially after all the child molestation cases and all the Native Americans that were abused. But I guess hey it’s ok for the priest that committed these atrocities it’s ok for them to receive the Eucharist. Do you see the hypocrisy. And hey during COVID you could just take communion with a spiritual prayer.
The power of the sun in the palm of my hand...
God The Son Jesus Christ appointed His apostles first Pope/Priests, gave THEM His authority, instituted Sacraments And Commanded them to spread His Church Infallibly to the world. Only those in the state of Grace are allowed to receive Holy Communion, no matter who you are. Once blessed by a Catholic Priest, The Host transforms into The Body and Blood Of Jesus Christ. Proven by Drs and scientists to be live heart tissue. See Eucharist Miracle Pope Francis on TH-cam.
After the beating you gave Will Smith for the way he chose to immediately defend the
honour/feelings of his less than saintly wife (according to the Pharisees of your pack
who were baying for her blood), I was expecting you to jump on the PC bandwagon
against the Shepherd who has finally decided to live up to his name. Thank you for
supporting him better than most of his fellows have.
Communion? What Century is this! That's like not getting a reading from your Astrologer because you disagree on Oscar picks.... If I would have known this when I was being forced to church as a kid I would have run around screaming, "YES ON ABORTION! YES ON ABORTION!"
God gave you free will to reject his laws but eternal damnation is a long long time. Not even an astrologer can free you from it.
