MP Chris Coughlin banned from Communion
A Single Denial to Give Communion That Echoed Around the World
It's canon law -- 915 to be exact. And yet it is almost never enacted against politicians who champion abortion, euthanasia, and other intrinsic moral evils often while announcing their Catholic faith and describing themselves as "devout". Talk about scandal!
Archbishop Cordileone banned Nancy Pelosi from communion in 2022. [Letter to Pelosi] His action was undermined by Pope Francis who bragged that he never denies communion to anyone. (Presumably he would have given communion to a mafia don after he shot an enemy during Mass.) Nancy received communion at the Vatican after the ban. Was anyone surprised?
