Prairie Grandpa Bob here, Anthony. Back in my Faithful, youthful, “practising Catholic” days I knew and understood what excommunication meant. I read, for example, about its application to Napoleon Bonaparte and others long forgotten. But I didn’t learn, until recently, of the Church’s INTENT for such a severe penalty, nor could I —naive, protected ME — fathom that “GROWED UP” Catholics could be SO obstinate and disobedient. Even so, excommunication —BEFORE Vatican II —was “standard” last-resort Church discipline, whose INTENT was re-conversion to the fullness of the Faith . . after experiencing real EXCLUSION.
So, here is “the Bishop of the Bay” —supported by not a few of the Hierarchy and Laity —(finally!) re-activating the Church’s ancient Discipline . . “cease receiving the Body and Blood of Christ; your words and actions have made a mockery of Him, of the Church, and of the Sacrament ”.
Your question, “what will Archbishop Cordileone do next?”, to myself, is a forgone conclusion: follow through with ex-communication [ WITH the understanding of the Church perennial INTENT for exclusion from union in the Mystical Body of Christ]. What other choice does he have?
Thus, WILL Speaker Pelosi return to living AND promoting CHURCH Teaching on a pre-born’s RIGHT to ITS life?
That’s where the EQUALLY obstinate, resolute and unremitting PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL constitute a top priority . . I F offered out of TOTAL TRUST in the promises of the Divine Mercy to St. Faustina & through their institution by St. John Paul II.
St. Thomas More, patron of Lawyers and Politicians, pray for us.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, atonement for our sins, have mercy on us.
Bishop St. John Neumann, pray for us.
Venerable Bishop Fulton Sheen, intercede especially for Speaker Nancy Pelosi and pray for us.
Mary, refuge of sinners, pray for us.
