Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is no longer allowed to receive communion in San Francisco, but that hasn’t stopped her from contacting men of habit in an attempt to rid her home of evil spirits.
According to her daughter, Alexandra, ‘During Thanksgiving, [Pelosi] they had priests coming, trying to have an exorcism of the house and having prayer services.’
The Democrat’s daughter spoke about the attack on her father Paul Pelosi, 82, during an interview with the new york timeswhen he mentioned the Catholic ritual to rid demons of specific people and spaces.
In October, conspiracy theorist David DePape, 42, broke into Pelosi’s Bay Area home, authorities said. The suspect severely struck Paul Pelosi with a hammer in an attack that shocked the political world.
Paul Pelosi was knocked unconscious and woke up in a pool of his own blood. He later underwent surgery to repair a fractured skull and severe injuries to his right arm and hands. Since then he has appeared in public wearing a hat and a glove that covered his wounds.
Alexandra continued: ‘It’s a miracle this kind of thing never happened before. We were always worried. It’s like your worst fear came to life.
In October, conspiracy theorist David DePape, 42, broke into Pelosi’s San Francisco home, authorities said.
DePape has pleaded not guilty to state and federal charges, including attempted murder, attempted kidnapping of a federal official and assault on an immediate family member of a federal official, and remains in jail.
The bubbly political rhetoric that led to that moment is recounted in the documentary ‘Pelosi in the House,’ directed and produced by Alexandra, the youngest of the former speaker’s five children.
For his part, Paul Pelosi appears to be on the mend as he was photographed last week dining with his wife at New York City’s Balthazar restaurant and later at the Tom Stoppard Leopoldstadt play.
The couple was photographed on the Instagram page of the restaurant’s owner, Keith McNally. One commenter wrote: “She sat across from us and was so nice and polite.” It seemed that her daughter and her grandchildren were with them. It’s good to see her husband recovered from her.
In a recent interview with CNN’s Chris Wallace on his HBO Max show Who’s Talking To Chris Wallace? the former speaker was visibly emotional as she spoke about the brutal assault on her husband.
Nancy recounted how her husband is ‘fine’ in her interview with Wallace.
“It’s going to take a little bit of time for him to get back on track,” he explained. Nancy acknowledged that Paul’s recovery from head injuries will be a long process and requires caution.
The suspect is believed to have told Paul that he planned to take the former speaker hostage, ‘interrogate’ her and break her kneecaps if necessary.
In December, DePape pleaded not guilty to six charges, including attempted murder.

Exorcisms are usually reserved for those of the Catholic faith.
Pelosi describes herself as a “devout Catholic.” However, in May 2022, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco announced that he would bar the congresswoman from receiving Communion in her hometown because of her position on abortion rights.
Cordileone wrote to Pelosi last year and said in part: “A Catholic legislator who supports procured abortion, after learning of the Church’s teaching, commits a manifestly grave sin which is the cause of the gravest scandal to others.”
He continued: “Therefore, universal Church law provides that such persons “should not be admitted to Holy Communion.”
At the same time, Pelosi was photographed receiving Communion at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Georgetown, where President Joe Biden is also known to attend.
While a month after the letter, Pelosi received Communion during a papal Mass after meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican.
During her trip, Pelosi told a group of Vatican officials: “Faith is an important gift, not everyone has it, but it’s the path to many other things.”
She continued: “We had the pleasure of attending Mass this morning with His Holiness and many, many, many church leaders.”
Pelosi added: “In the spirit of Saint Francis, which is the name of His Holiness and my city of San Francisco, I thank you for preaching the Gospel, sometimes using words.”
In 2021, President Joe Biden, another Catholic who also supports abortion rights, said after meeting with Francis that the pontiff told him to continue receiving the sacrament.
