Catholic bishops across US express support for Pelosi Communion ban

Published May 23, 2022 12:00am ET



Catholic bishops are coming together in support of Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone after he barred House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) from receiving Holy Communion in light of her stance on abortion.

On Friday, Cordileone issued a letter saying because of Pelosi’s stance on abortion and her recent calls to protect access to abortion at the federal level, she should not present herself to a priest for Communion at Mass.
