Contributing sentiments towards policy:
49% : Last year Pope Francis told Joe Biden that he was a "good Catholic" during a private meeting, and told bishops who wanted to ban pro-abortion politicians from taking communion they should make "pastoral" decision not political ones."Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi's position on abortion has become only more extreme over the years, especially in the last few months," Archbishop Cordileone said in a statement on Friday.46% : ""Therefore, in light of my responsibility as the Archbishop of San Francisco to be 'concerned for all the Christian faithful entrusted to [my] care" (Code of Canon Law, can. 383, §1), by means of this communication I am hereby notifying you that you are not to present yourself for Holy Communion and, should you do so, you are not to be admitted to Holy Communion, until such time as you publically repudiate your advocacy for the legitimacy of abortion and confess and receive absolution of this grave sin in the sacrament of Penance."
43% :"Just earlier this month she once again, as she has many times before, explicity raised her Catholic faith while justifying abortion as a 'choice,' this time explicitly setting herself in opposition to Pope Francis."
34% : Pelosi met with Pope Francis last year, but the Vatican did not say if the topic of abortion was discussed.
32% : The Pope has said "I have never refused the Eucharist to anyone," but has also emphasized that the Catholic Church views abortion as homicide and that anyone getting one "kills" a "human life."
