“I would like to renew my request for prayers for the Speaker’s conversion on the issue of human life in the womb,” wrote Archbishop Cordileone about Nancy Pelosi.
SAN FRANCISCO (LifeSiteNews) — San Francisco’s Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone has responded to Nancy Pelosi’s rejection of his ban on her receiving Holy Communion, urging Catholics to pray for her “conversion on the issue of human life in the womb.”
Late on December 10, Archbishop Cordileone issued a statement in response to a recent interview former Speaker of the House gave to the dissident National Catholic Reporter (NCR).
The prolifically pro-abortion Democratic politician told NCR that despite her bishop having explicitly banned her from presenting herself for Communion in his archdiocese, “I received Communion anyway.”
“That’s his problem, not mine,” she added. “My Catholic faith is, Christ is my savior. It has nothing to do with the bishops.”
“Nancy Pelosi’s recent interview with the National Catholic Reporter has elicited a number of requests of me to offer a comment on it,” Cordileone began. “First and foremost, I would like to renew my request for prayers for the Speaker’s conversion on the issue of human life in the womb, that it be consistent with the respect for human dignity she displays in so many other contexts.”

We pray, O Lord, that she may repent and accept Jesus as her Lord and Savior.
May she acknowledge her sins and be forgiven, in Jesus' name, amen.
