Consider the logistics of identifying every worldwide politician whose policies defy catholic teaching and then educate the priests/seminarians distributing communion (equipping them with photographs?) and advising them not to distribute communion to them. Consider, as well, how it places the priest/seminarian in a confrontational position with a global audience at a celebratory event.
The worldwide mainstream media are waiting for just such a moment so they can turn the politician into a martyr! Is this what you are proposing?
The Vatican well knows who the Catholic vice-president of the United States and the Catholic Speaker of the House and current minority leader are, especially when sent to the Vatican on official business from the President of the United State.
The ignorance about world power and the most powerful Catholics on earth as justification for ‘accidently’ giving communion to these most visible Catholics, is laughable.
I am proposing that the Church do God's will then and always. If it doesn't then it isn't The Church.
Biden & Pelosi went up as a direct challenge to the new Pope. And they got away with it.
Do you think that a "martyred" Biden would have been able to it again about a week later, this time with Archbishop Timothy Dolan, and then yuck it up like he and Dolan were drunken school mates? It's digusting.
There was a new sherrif in town, and he let things slide.
