Bishops can tell someone till the cows come home not to go up for communion. They are ignored.
Are you saying that all of the bishops are telling them not to go up for communion? Because I’m talking about the number of bishops who are totally OKAY with them doing so. I am talking about the fact that the USCCB states that US bishops have the option of following canon law on this topic.
Any bishop that lets a notorious abortion advocate receive communion should not be a bishop. They absolutely should not be given the right to pick and choose what they want to enforce in Canon Law. This might work for conservative bishops but democrat operatives like Dolan or Weurl will use that authority to play king and snub their nose at the teachings of the church.
That is up to their local bishops. You knew that, right?
...ah, yes, Vat II collegiality in all its glory...let the local bishops run the show...what could possible go wrong...?
