Those who give Holy Communion to pro-abortion politicians act as if they consider it just a symbol or a community meal. It is as if they did not believe in the Real Presence. Thus, for them, it would seem that the reception of the Holy Eucharist has little to do with God and everything to do with “community” and “fellowship.” Indeed, such churchmen politicize the sacrament because by giving Holy Communion to unworthy politicians, they turn a supernatural act into a political gesture. They grievously insult Our Lord.

Biden defends himself by stating Pope Francis has given him Holy Communion. That's why Gregory is a cardinal and Bishop Joseph Strickland is not one; Strickland is one of those "rigid" Catholics whom Bergoglio despises.

Gregory is as queer as a wooden nickle.

It’s like they’re basically spitting on Christ Himself.

The bible is just a book.

Christ was just a man.

Pope and cardinal are just jobs.

Rules and laws were meant to be broken.

Abortions are just the removal unwanted flesh from a woman’s belly.

Hence, the constitution doesn’t matter either.

In the world that the democrats have in store for the world, nothing matters, as long as they get to tell us how to live our lives. And in today’s world ‘religious leaders’ are just sheep going along to get along, and their words are not the words of God.

It doesn’t “beg the question,” it raises the question.

“Begging” the question is assuming the conclusion as a premise, from Aristotle. “petitio principii,” which was translated as “begging the question.” “Assuming the conclusion” is, according to linguists, a better translation.

Biden married a divorced woman (whose husband divorced her because she was having an affair with Joe Biden). It used to be that Catholics in that kind of marriage were not allowed to receive Communion. Maybe there is a special dispensation for politicians.
