But he does not say that a bishop must dispense that communion if in the bishop's judgment it's not appropriate. Pelosi can find another bishop from whom Pelosi will eat of the savior's body and drink of his fluids.

However, Pope Francis, who is head of the Catholic Church, has previously urged bishops to tread softly on the issue of denying people the Eucharist—which Catholics consider the body of Jesus Christ—and advised the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops against adopting a policy that would have denied communion to President Joe Biden.
On September 15, 2021, Francis was asked about the issue of bishops denying pro-abortion politicians the right to participate in Communion and said he had never refused the Eucharist to anyone.
"What should a shepherd do? Be a shepherd and not going around condemning or not condemning," the pope said.
"They must be a shepherd with God's style. And God's style is closeness, compassion and tenderness.
"If we look at the history of the church, we will see that every time the bishops have not managed a problem as pastors, they have taken a political stance on a political problem."
While Pope Francis reiterated the Catholic Church's position that "abortion is homicide" he went on to say: "No, I have never denied the Eucharist to anyone, to anyone.
"I don't know if someone came to me under these conditions, but I have never refused them the Eucharist, since the time I was a priest."

Everybody must get stoned.
Humans are, in fact, entities. Entity means a thing with a distinct and independent existence. Humans are living entities. The Church is a legal entity.@ entities
That sounds a bit like "alien life forms".
Reminds me of the Ents in "Lord of the Rings"
It's "decent" for an organization that pretends to knowledge it doesn't have and which lies to children as well as adults, for a living, to give Nancy Pelosi a magic cracker and a sip of crappy, but magical, wine, which is imagined to be the body and blood of tortured and executed supposed deity (who was sent by himself to be executed) and who supposedly endured said torture and execution as a scapegoat for Nancy Pelosi's sins?x.com

Good thing!
The Lord of the Rings is plainly a racist book, which portrays things dark and black as evil, and white/fair people as good and superior. How dare you bring it up here!Reminds me of the Ents in "Lord of the Rings"
Nope. I have no belief of any kind in regards to that. I literally could not care less. I have no idea of the minutia of what under Catholic law, or lore, would get someone denied communion, nor do I care. It's a pointless exercise of superstition, and the fact that she even wants communion is plainly a political act on her part.
One is not denied communion for merely "being" a sinner. The Bishop explained his reasoning, and it applies only to his diocese. She can go to another diocese.

Are you saying withholding communion is a threat?
I agree. I doubt anything will happen to the bishop and that's fine. If she wants communion she'll get communion. The whole thing's blown way out of proportion.
Clearly went over your meme stick
Tissue?
They also aren't supposed to cover up child sexual abuse... we all know how that turned out.
Off topic.
Not off topic. It has to do with if we think the priests will follow the ban on her getting Communion. If they didn't follow one thing, what makes you think they will another?
Still off topic.
