Former Vice President Joe Biden was reportedly denied Holy Communion at a South Carolina church on Sunday because of his support for abortion.
Father Robert E. Morey of Saint Anthony Catholic Church said Monday that he did not allow Biden, who attended the Catholic church’s 9 am mass, to receive communion.
“Sadly, this past Sunday, I had to refuse Holy Communion to former Vice President Joe Biden,” Morey told the Morning News in Florence, South Carolina. “Holy Communion signifies we are one with God, each other and the Church. Our actions should reflect that. Any public figure who advocates for abortion places himself or herself outside of Church teaching.”
A spokesperson for the Biden campaign would not confirm whether or not the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate attended the mass at St. Anthony’s.
Biden, who is Catholic, has said that he personally opposes abortion but believes in Roe v. Wade, which codifies a woman’s ability to legally get an abortion. His campaign came under fire earlier this year, however, after he seemingly flipped his position on the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits taxpayer dollars from being used to fund abortions.
The former vice president was a longtime supporter of the Hyde Amendment, but after repeated pressure from progressive groups, announced in June that he would no longer support it.
Biden is not the first Democratic politician to be denied communion over his stance on abortion. Bishop Thomas Paprocki announced in 2018 that Illinois Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin would “not to be admitted to Holy Communion until he repents of this sin,” referring to the senator’s vote against a ban on abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Not only you just saved his soul from damnation but you tell them they can't make a mockery of God.
South Carolina ping!!!

A brave priest indeed. I wonder of Bergoglio will request that his local diocese have the guy de-frocked?
Long, long, long overdue
“A brave priest indeed. I wonder of Bergoglio will request that his local diocese have the guy de-frocked?”
I have no doubt that the priest’s handlers okay’d this for a political reason.
CPF (Commie popie Frankie) has had six years to do to the Catholic church what the Fraud did to America.
Every single one was source I did not use too!!
Amen. An act long overdue.
And a brave one as surely he will feel repercussions when hacked-off senior Democrats start calling in favors from the USCCB.
Thanks for posting this.
There may be some people who have not seen this.
The 8 times it’s already been posted.
“Biden, who is Catholic...” Should that read “biden, who is nominally as Catholic as a liberal democrat can be...”?
It’s fien that they deny him but what about clinton? Pelosi? Durbin? (Do they identify as catholic? I have no idea) or any high profile dem who might be catholic? Seems odd they woudl be singling out biden at this particular period- Perhaps the church should make a statement that ANY person who supports abortion will be denied communion?
Did anyone hear Brian Kilmeade this morning?...giving HIS opinion of this!
He disgusts me!
YES!!!
Whenever Rats do something egregious against America, Kilmeade finds a way to bash Trump also.
Hi Morgana, there have been at least 4 articles posted about this. I pinged the list on the first two. That’s enough pinging, don’t you think?

Should have sprinkled Holy Water on him and watch him self-combust..
Peter denied Jesus only three times. Here on Free Republic, Joe has been denied six times and counting...
Good.

Yes sorry. I used a different source so it did not come up in the serach
“Peter denied Jesus only three times. Here on Free Republic, Joe has been denied six times and counting... “
Sad thing about it? Joe should have been denied decades ago!
Notice the first time it happens it’s like “STOP THE PRESSES JOE IS DENIED COMMUNION”
