You are obviously not from Maryland or Virginia where 1629 was just yesterday!
Headline: Biden’s Bishop Silent on Whether Pro-Abortion VP Should Receive Communion
The Most Rev. W. Francis Malooly, Catholic bishop of the diocese of Wilmington, Del., would not say whether a fellow bishop’s contention that Vice President Joe Biden, who supports abortion and gay marriage, should know “he ought not to be receiving Communion” was correct or incorrect.
Sorry to say the Church just flaps its gums on what have been called its “non-negotiable" issues and then does nothing to impose sanctions on such as Biden, Pelosi, any Kennedy, et. al. It winds up making itself look like a joke and who really pays any attention to its "pronouncements" since they are no more than empty rhetoric.
