    It's unclear whether the Pope specifically knew or realized that there had been a reason why Pelosi had been denied communion.

    It would sort of be like if you were awarding medals of honor to several people, and then afterwards you realized one of them had been some obscure Nazi that had committed war crimes.

    This may not necessarily be symbolic of the Pope wanting to override the decision of the Archbishop to deny her communion.

    When handing out communion, they usually do not screen the crowds to see if everyone is "eligible" or check to see if anyone might be on the "prohibited" list.

    The media has a history of trying to misrepresent what the Pope says and does.

    The media is not misrepresenting anything. You are (as is your standard operating procedure).

    Do you really think the pope, one of the most important figures in the world, is so stupid as to not know why one of the most powerful women in the US, did not receive communion?

    I am pretty sure the pope is the prophet of the antichrist. Nothing Christian about him our the history of the corrupt and disgusting Roman catholic church. You can measure the corruption of a church by its riches.

    "Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, sell what you own. Give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then follow me!” When the young man heard this, he went away sad because he owned a lot of property."

    Christians have been misguided by their leaders since 325 AD. The (formerly) lost gospels of Thomas and Mary Magdalene are required for a better understanding of Jesus’ teachings, but those of course were chopped out of biblical canon because they taught that heaven and god was within you, and didn’t require all of these churches and priests and nonsense. Can’t have all the peasants thinking they can control their own destinies!

    Perhabs Nancy is not as well known as she and the Democrats thinks she is. After all this is the same lady that believes genocide of the babies and Republicans is O.K.

    How long until we're finally free of this silly cult worshipping a demigod who never even existed having so much influence over the minds and politics of Americans?

    You have to realize he comes from Brazil and lives within Italy, and does not really speak English. It's unrealistic to expect him to be able to keep track of all this.

    Now a better question is if one of his aides or officials realized this but kept silent.

    Wow, this all really explains a lot.

    What matters is the Pope didn't give her last rights.

    That's a long story. Ironically you can blame the Democrat Left-leaning media for perpetuating this. A lot of Democrats are Catholics, thus the media is trying to appeal to them, to paint the pope as a progressive at any opportunity so they will feel more comfortable voting for the Democrat Party.

    The point would be they weren't Christians either.

    the USA would not be without it


    In the name of God, Amen. We whose names are under-written, the loyal subjects of our dread sovereign Lord, King James, by the grace of God, of Great Britain, France, and Ireland King, Defender of the Faith, etc.

    Having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith, and honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God, and one of another, covenant and combine our selves together into a civil body politic, for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the Colony, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. In witness whereof we have hereunder subscribed our names at Cape Cod, the eleventh of November [New Style, November 21], in the year of the reign of our sovereign lord, King James, of England, France, and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth. Anno Dom. 1620.

    Right...but Catholics believe differently. And the point I suppose is do you change beliefs to fit current society and norms. Or...do you continue to obey God.

    Communion requires the admitting and repentance of sins. Unless she starts admitting she is wrong, she should be denied communion.

    My point was it's very plausible that he might not have known or realized that Pelosi had previously been denied Communion.
    The Pope probably was not very involved in deciding who the invitations would be sent to.

    Probably the majority of Americans could not even tell you who their Speaker of the House is.
