Has Archbishop Cordileone Stolen A Base?

[Michie]

Because of Nancy Pelosi’s stubborn refusal to acknowledge Catholic teaching that abortion is an unspeakable evil, she has placed herself in a state of serious objective estrangement from the Church.


It is surely an astonishment that, even now, more than a year after Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone issued his Pastoral Letter on the Human Dignity of the Unborn, Holy Communion, and Catholics in Public Life — a copy of which cannot possibly have failed to reach Speaker Nancy Pelosi — not a single syllable has moved her to reconsider her views regarding the impermissibility of killing defenseless children in the womb.

Not outright killing, mind you, as if she were actually holding the knife; but, in the spirit of the hitman hired by another (to use the language of Pope Francis), actively promoting their destruction by her long and tireless support of legal abortion. And all this in the very teeth of the Church’s emphatic and, indeed, most fierce opposition to the practice, from which she has not drawn back for more than 2,000 uninterrupted years.

Doesn't it eventually come to the point of excommunication without change?
I do believe and yes, public offenders often get excommunicated publicly or privately... mostly public so others won't follow them in error.
Stand up Bishops. get er done.


That could be the eye opener for her.
And of course contrition allows return and a change in her position.

It LOOKS like he has stolen a base, what with a cardinal who does the exact opposite and the Vatican which does the exact opposite. She can go to Washington and she can go to Rome and all is good for her. That is the scandal.

I pray for the lionhearted archbishop that he endure and not be removed.

Keeping to the baseball analogy, I think the cardinal archbishop of Washington committed an unforced error. And so did somebody (or somebodies) at the Vatican. Nancy Pelosi went there to do exactly what she did, get pictures with the pope and pictures of her taking (deliberately I intended taking) the Eucharist. What should have been a routine out became for her an in the park run around all of the bases. One or two errors contributed to that score.
