Top Catholic Bishop: No Communion for Pro-Abortion Pols
13th November 2025
Archbishop Paul Stagg Coakley, elected this week as the new president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, has steadfastly maintained that pro-abortion lawmakers should not receive Holy Communion.
That includes former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., LifeNews reported Wednesday.
Coakley, archbishop of Oklahoma City, was elected Tuesday and will serve a three-year term as president of the USCCB. He has established a long-standing record of supporting the denial of Communion to certain politicians, a stance he has held for more than a decade.
And about time, too.
