American Life League to Bishops: Enforce Canon Law, Deny Pelosi Holy Communion
Washington,
DC (04 August 2008) – Judie Brown, president of American Life League,
issued the following statement regarding Rep. Nancy Pelosi's frequent
reception of the Holy Eucharist, as reported in the Aug. 4 issue of The
Hill.
"Nancy Pelosi's sacrilegious public support of abortion has
resulted in untold loss of life. We call on our Catholic bishops, our
shepherds, to lead us in showing reverence for the Holy Eucharist – the
Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity – of Jesus Christ, by enforcing Canon
915:
"Those who have been excommunicated or interdicted after the
imposition or the declaration of a penalty as well as others who
obstinately persist in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to
communion."
Rep. Pelosi and all pro-abortion politicians, who
assist in the legalized slaughter of innocent children, should not be
allowed to defile the Eucharist with bloodstained hands.
We
especially ask Archbishop Donald Wuerl of Washington, D.C. and
Archbishop George H. Niederauer of San Francisco to be true shepherds of
their diocese and defenders of the faith by protecting the Holy
Eucharist from those who seek to exploit it for political gain.
American
Life League was cofounded in 1979 by Judie Brown. It is the largest
grassroots Catholic pro-life organization in the United States and is
committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from the moment
of creation to natural death. For more information or media inquiries,
please contact Katie Walker at 540.659.4942.
