John Whitney) residing in San Francisco, wrote an article for America Magazine. He accused Archbishop Cordileone of ‘abusing the sacrament’ by withholding it ‘without process or appeal.’ He refrains from using the name, but despite the slyness, we know he meant Pelosi. Should the bishop accept this public rebuke, or discipline the priest for clouding a clear issue and contributing (like Pelosi) to scandal and confusion?”David asks, “Instead of spending millions of dollars on Eucharistic revival, why isn’t the weekly pulpit used for this purpose. I mean, you’ve got a captive audience. Spending money on Congress’s solution.
