I don't know. It is one thing to voice different convictions (notice my assumption of conviction). It seems an entirely different thing to obstinately go against the public proclamation of a bishop. He could make his own direct or indirect comment, but he is not her bishop and can't claim to not know what Cordileone has stated publicly.
Define your terms, political and pastoral. The Archbishop categorically stated it was purely a pastoral decision. Due consideration being primarily that of her soul. Secondly, the scandal Pelosi was causing. Thirdly, the entrenched position of her support for the killing of the innocent.
