‘Let him talk to his pastor about this incoherence,’ said the Pontiff.
VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Francis has noted the “incoherence” of President Joe Biden’s support for abortion as a Catholic, but said that he “leaves it” to Biden’s “conscience” whether to receive Holy Communion or not.
Speaking to the Spanish TV network Univision in an interview segment released July 12, the 85-year-old pope condemned abortion, saying that “scientific data” show that “a month after conception, the DNA of the fetus is already present and the organs are already aligned.”
“Is it fair to eliminate a human life?,” he asked.
As for the position of self-described “Catholic” U.S. President Joe Biden and his prominent promotion of abortion, Pope Francis did not take an authoritative stance.
He stated that he “leaves it” to Biden’s “conscience,” saying “let him talk to his pastor about this incoherence.”
Controversy has clouded the Vatican in recent months regarding this issue.
Catholic U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi regularly receives the Eucharist but was recently barred from Holy Communion by her local bishop, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco. Despite this, Pelosi continued to receive Holy Communion at public Masses since Cordileone’s declaration, including notably at a Papal Mass on June 29.

God will have the final say.
What a weasel worthy comment.
Dude, he is nominally Catholic. Emphasis on nominally. You are supposed to be his pastor. Emphasis on supposed to be.
I waa right to call him a libertarian pope years ago.
Pope speaks on U.S. gun violence, abortion debate, retirement rumors
When asked why Pelosi was allowed to receive Communion at the Vatican, the pope noted that she continues to receive the Eucharist in Washington, D.C. (administered by Wilting Gregory, Bergolio's personally appointed Frankencardinal), as well.
I wonder if he would feel the same way if Biden was a big supporter of fossil fuels?
Pope Hometown Buffet.
Well, during a U.S. electection year, Bergoglio claimed anyone (i.e. Trump) who built border walls was not a Christian.
Some leader.
Peculiar that’s not what he said about candidate Trump when he was campaigning on building a wall.
I remember when the Pope was Catholic.
Butttttt,I’ll lose all my cool fans.......AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Some shepherd. John 10:11-18
Sorry, socialist fake pope, Cain said it much better.
“Am I my brothers keeper?”
Pontius Pilate did it better as well. At least he was theatrical and used porps, for his handwashing.
This satanic clown is just phoning it in.
I thought Frank was the Head Pastor......
Someone should ask the pope what the cut off age is for abortion. If there is someone if your life that is just inconvenient for you, can you off them.
Kinda puts things in perspective.
So Catholicism is relative?
Pope Francis told cardinals, ‘May God forgive you for what you’ve done’
