It is a fundamental doctrine of the Catholic Church that life begins at conception and ends at natural death and that an abortion ending human life is a grave sin, as is funding and promoting abortions. . It
is also a fundamental doctrine of the Catholic Church that when presenting themselves to receive Holy Communion they should not be in a state of grave mortal sin. Yet here was the Vicar of Christ receiving President Joe Biden without any public rebuke or condemnation of Joe Biden, our second Catholic President, for his support of abortion on demand and its funding...

In an age of “cafeteria Catholics” who pick and choose which church doctrines they will adhere to and which they will ignore, an age where we have a Pope Francis, who would have us pray for the oceans and invites Amazonian “priests” and their fertility gods into the Vatican, it was refreshing
to see a Catholic priest speak truth to power and tell a craven Catholic politician that abortion-on-demand is a moral evil opposed by the Catholic Church and to approve of it means you are unworthy of receiving the Sacrament of Holy Communion. You cannot be personally opposed to...

I Deny Myself Communion, So Should Joe Biden

| June 20, 2021 | Larry O'Connor
The question of whether American priests should deny President Joe Biden communion over his stance on abortion is actually based on an incorrect understanding of Mr. Biden's direct responsibility in this ongoing controversy. The
question is not whether priests should deny Mr. Biden the Holy Eucharist; the question is should Mr. Biden deny himself access to the Blessed Sacrament. And the answer, if one is to take the teachings of our Church seriously, is an emphatic "yes." This week, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is expected to debate the issue of denying communion to Catholics who outwardly oppose...
