The archbishop of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s diocese advocated that Catholic public figures who support abortion can be banned from receiving communion.

“Our responsibility to the rest of the Catholic community is to assure them that the Church of Jesus Christ does take most seriously her mission to care for ‘the least of these,’ as Our Lord has commanded us, and to correct Catholics who erroneously, and sometimes stubbornly, promote abortion,” Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco wrote in a letter Saturday.
