San Francisco archbishop says Nancy Pelosi can't receive communion

[@jakefromstatefarm7657]

“The conservative archbishop” he’s literally just doing his job as a guardian of the the deposit of faith

[@jakefromstatefarm7657]

@Gnome Socks it’s an exercise of canon 915, it is our duty as Catholics to prepare ourselves and confess our sins before being admitted to holy communion St. Paul tells us in the scripture that someone who is not worthy to receive then they cast a sentence upon themselves. By her openly defying church teaching and committing mortal sin publicly and still receiving communion tells other people that they can stay obstinate in mortal sin and still receive communion with the Church’s blessing which is not ok, that’s called scandal which is a sin itself. It’s also not good for her because she’s committing mortal sin and the church knowing it is letting her. It’s the job of the bishop to be our spiritual father and guard the faith and correct others when they are in sin. It’s not conservative if your just doing your job description. Canon 915 puts an obligation on him to do this. There is no religious persecution here no one is forcing her to be Catholic if she wants to do the things she’s doing then she shouldn’t call herself a Catholic.

[@jakefromstatefarm7657]

@Gnome Socks I never disputed that she had freedom of religion she can do whatever she wants. However, what she says is directly in opposition with the teachings of the Church and thus not Catholic. And what I said isn’t incorrect read the 1983 Code of Canon law, Canon 915. And also read Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraphs 2270-2273 which vindicate my claims. I don’t see how anything you said is proved by your father being a deacon.

[@jakefromstatefarm7657]

@Gnome Socks Also what specifically are you saying is incorrect? Are you saying the Code of Canon law and Holy Scripture is incorrect because that’s what I cited in my first response?

[@jakefromstatefarm7657]

@Gnome Socks I’m Roman Catholic myself. I never said I was conservative I’m simply citing what’s found in the catechism, canon law and scripture I’m not judging anything, I don’t believe you should apply a conservative label to him because he’s carrying out his job as canon law instructs him to. What are you talking about false messiah? I never said I was the messiah, do you actually have a rebuttal or do you only have logical fallacies and opinions to offer? How about you actually look at what I said and prove I’m wrong.

Ummm the thing is the Catholic Church is authority, it operates on apostolic succession, they have a Pope.

This minister needs to lose his position: Why is it that so many ministers of the church and Christians don't even know their own bible and its scriptures? God himself created abortion for a man to use. Here is the scripture form the holy bible Numbers 5:11-29 15 Then he (the husband) is to take his wife to the priest. 21 Here the priest is to put the woman under this curse-“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[b] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water (medicine) that brings a curse enters your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.” God also tells us when a fetus is considered a human being, which is outside the womb of a woman Genesis 2:7, “And the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living soul.”

What does the Bishop have to say about Catholic Priests who sexually abused young children, young men and women? Is the ArchBishop still sweeping those SINS under the rug when his priests abuse and manipulate the teachings in the Bible? Take care of your own sins committed by the Catholic Church, Archbishop before you accuse a public official Of any wrong doing!!!!

[@sheritacotten5293]

Well said🥰🥰😍😇

[@Turkeysocks]

He's manipulating the teachings of the Bible himself. Fact is the Bible says nothing about abortion being a sin, and clearly states that life begins when a baby breathes in the "breath of God", aka oxygen.

[@janelle144]

I'm sure he has a lot to say on that issue as well but nice try at deflecting.

[@Turkeysocks]

@@matt7561 ... yeah, and? Doesn't change that the Bible clearly lays out that life begins at birth, when the baby takes it's first breath. It also makes it clear that the soul first appears in the baby at the same time. So it really contradicts Luke 1:40 - 44 claim, as John would not have his soul yet. So many contradictions.

[@Turkeysocks]

@@matt7561... except that the fetus in the womb was not 'leaping for joy', it was simply doing what every other fetus does, moving. And this movement is done so to help the fetus develop its bones, joints and muscles. It was the mother who just ASSUMED that the fetus was 'leaping for joy', and then coming to a conclusion based on her own opinion. I'm also not the one who claimed life begins after birth, again, that is what the Bible claims it does. And the primary purpose of an abortion is to terminate an unwanted or medically dangerous pregnancy.

[@opaulamorgan4265]

And he is calling for the Archbishop's removal, (as if he has any power) and to be replaced by someone more in step with San Francisco! Translation, He wants someone more liberal than Archbishop Cordelione to further their liberal policies which in most cases is not in step with the Catholic church!! He is delusional and should stay out of church politics which are none of his business!

@@EG-qs1sg No, it's 100% relevant. After all, while it is true that the official stance of the Catholic Church and Pope Francis is trying to root out and remove priests, clergy and other members of the Church who have committed sexual, physical and emotional abuse against children, members of the church like Archbishop Salvatore are actively fighting against the Pope's attempts. Archbishop Salvatore has been shielding known pedophiles and child abusers in the US for decades. He should be worried about his soul first, before he worries about anothers.

BAPTISM [John 3:5] - “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit" CONFESSION [Luke 13:3] - "I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish." EUCHARIST [John 6:53-54] “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." The New Testament makes very clear that Christ sent the apostles and their successors to carry on with his work. To proclaim the gospel with the authority of Christ (Matt. 28:18-20), to govern the Church in His stead (Luke 22:29-30), and to sanctify her through the sacraments, especially the Eucharist (John 6:54, 1 Cor. 11:24-29). Christ said to the Apostles, "He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me” (Luke 10:16). That's Christ speaking to Peter and his fellow apostles, and through them to the bishops of the whole Church today.

This is why I like the Pope, hes not a hypocrite like those bishops (3) Pope Francis on those who deny communion: ‘Don’t go around condemning’ - KZbin (3) Biden: Pope told him to 'keep receiving communion' - KZbin. God doesn't discriminate and segregate, He loves all of his children and accepts all sinners.
