Pelosi’s canonical gambit

Archbishop Cordileone was not thinking about politics when he issued his directive. As he explained anew, in response to Pelosi’s statement, ‘As a pastor of souls, my overriding concern and chief responsibility is the salvation of souls.’ Meanwhile as she waits for (or claims to be waiting for) a Vatican judgment that may never come, Pelosi is ignoring her archbishop’s order—to her spiritual peril.
