EXCLUSIVE: DC Archdiocese accidentally sends email to dcexaminer saying media requests about Nancy Pelosi's ability to receive communion 'will be ignored.'
EXCLUSIVE — Archbishop Wilton Gregory of the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., has refused to comment publicly on whether he supports the barring of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from receiving Holy Communion in light of her stance on abortion, with his office saying in a blunt and mistakenly sent email to the Washington Examiner that requests “will be ignored.”
When the Washington Examiner reached out to the Archdiocese of Washington to seek comment, Gregory’s communications office inadvertently sent an emailed response. Following email exchanges that seemingly attempted to delay publication while asking for a phone conversation, spokeswoman Patricia Zapor told the Washington Examiner via a phone call that there would be no direct response from the Archdiocese of Washington or Gregory. She sent a follow-up email, pointing to prior comments regarding his position on politicians receiving Communion.
