Whoopi Goldberg faces backlash after blasting Archbishop for denying Nancy Pelosi communion

Los Angeles, May 24 : Hollywood star Whoopi Goldberg may have played a Catholic nun, but she is apparently not familiar with the churchs teachings.

The Sister Act star has been ripped after she blasted an archbishop for denying Nancy Pelosi communion, reports aceshowbiz.com.

The actress defended Pelosi after the Catholic archbishop of San Francisco, Salvatore Cordileone, announced that the House Speaker is to be denied Holy Communion in his archdiocese because of her support for abortion rights.The archbishop said Pelosi should "refrain from referring to your Catholic faith in public and receiving Holy Communion" unless she repudiates her longtime advocacy of abortion rights.

Taking to The View to weigh in on the communion ban, Goldberg began in the segment: "The abortion rights battle is starting to blur the lines between church and state.The archbishop of San Francisco is calling for Speaker Nancy Pelosi to be denied receiving communion because of her pro-choice stance.

Hes one of the priests who also called president Biden to be denied sacrament.""This is not your job, dude!" the award-winning entertainer furiously exclaimed.

"That is not, you cant, that is not up to you to make that decision." She added, "How dare you."But many Catholics disagreed with Goldberg, reminding her that its actually the archbishops job and shes not qualified to lecture the archbishop about what is and is not his job."Canon law is indeed the Bishops responsibility, not yours, Whoop.You played a nun; you werent one," one pointed out.Another said: "It is his job to make sure the church and congregation are in one accord! People like Whoopi cant make it anymore so they have to get noticed somehow! How about cancelling the view!!" A third remarked, "uhhh no whoopi that is his job."In announcing the ban on Friday, Cordileone explained that he had attempted to meet and speak with Pelosi several times in the months leading up to his decision.He wrote that according to canon law, Pelosi is "obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin" and that it is his responsibility as archbishop to enforce church discipline against her.dc/kr #Whoopi #Goldberg #backlash #Archbishop #Nancy #Pelosi #Los Angeles #San Francisco #Canon #Cisco #Hollywood.
