Mr Biden, a Senator from Delaware, lives in the Wilmington diocese. The bishop was quoted as saying that "the Eucharist must not be politicised". He added that the job of a Catholic prelate was not to "alienate people" but rather to "change their hearts and minds".

Uh.....how's that going, your Lordship? What exactly are you doing to change Joe's mind? Seen any signs of progress?

Neither have I.

As for "politicising" the Eucharist, that would be true only if Biden was denied Communion for being a Democrat. This has zero to do with politics. And where did he get the idea that excommunication would not help to change "hearts and minds"? That's what it's there for. It's to bring home to recalcitrant and obstinate sinners that they are in grave danger and to shock them back to reality.

Putz!
