Vatican Chief Justice: Nancy Pelosi Must Be Denied Communion

 Cardinal Raymond Burke
 Because of her longstanding support for abortion, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a Catholic, must be denied Communion under the law of the Catholic Church, said Cardinal Raymond Burke, head of the highest court at the Vatican.

Cardinal Burke referenced his remarks about Pelosi to Canon Law--the law  governing the Catholic Church--and specifically Canon 915, which says those Catholics who obstinately persevere “in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion.”

    This sounds more like a strong opinion than an actual Vatican ruling. Already, the Archbishop of DC says he will not deny Pelosi communion because the church shouldn't use communion as a "weapon". If it's a Vatican opinion, then the Archbishop is free to flout Canon 915 and Cardinal Burke's "opinion". However, if it is an edict, a ruling, then the Archbishop could be slapped down, relieved, etc. No?

    Sounds correct, but I am not familiar with the religion.
