Biden supports legal abortion, the redefinition of marriage, taxpayer-funded abortion and transgender ideology. Despite this, 67% of U.S. Catholics, including Bishop William Malooly of Wilmington, Delaware and Cardinal Wilton Gregory of Washington D.C., believe he should be allowed to receive Communion.
Washington D.C., Mar 31, 2021 / 04:00 am (CNA).- Two-thirds of U.S. Catholics say that President Joe Biden, who has contradicted Church teaching on abortion, marriage, and gender ideology, should be allowed to receive Communion.
According to a Pew Research Center survey released on Tuesday, 67% of U.S. Catholics say that Biden should be allowed to receive Communion at Mass, while fewer than one-third (29%) believe he should not be allowed to receive.
Beliefs on Communion fell somewhat along party lines, with 55% of Catholic Republicans – or those who lean Republican – saying that Biden should be denied Communion, while only 11% of Democrats or those leaning Democrat saying he should be denied Communion.
The Communion question has resurfaced during Biden’s presidency, as some bishops have previously cited canon 915 of the Code of Canon Law to say that Catholic public officials should be denied Communion for their “obstinate” support for grave evils such as abortion, despite warnings from pastors.
Canon 915 states that Catholics who are “obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to holy communion.”
In a 2004 memo to U.S. bishops, then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger wrote that a Catholic politician who is “consistently campaigning and voting for permissive abortion and euthanasia laws” is engaging in “formal cooperation” in grave sin, cooperation that is “manifest.”
In these cases that meet the definition laid out in Canon 915, Catholic politicians should not receive Communion, Ratzinger wrote, and their pastor must admonish them on the Church’s teachings. If the politician refuses to assent to the Church’s...............

Anally.
With his views on abortion?!
BS
I am not sure how it matters, both are morally bankrupt and on their last legs.
The church by its own prophecy dating from 1139.
The biden well that seems just as obvious.
The catholic church is no more. It is a progressive business with an evil CEO.
If you are a democrat you can not also be a catholic. If 2/3 of Catholics believe in abortion then the church is in much worse shape than I thought.
2/3. Of Catholics don’t attend mass or receive the sacraments. They don’t own a catechism nor a Bible. Nor do they display a crucifix in their home nor pray nor have a personal relationship with the risen Lord
They think catholicism is a democratic institution They Believe that if they Storm heaven with their drinking buddies and tell God what the new rules are that He will agree
Most if not all of the Catholics in my very large northeastern Irish Catholic family believe nothing close to what the catechism teaches. They know it, having learned it, but they choose to not believe it
Of course people think Biden should fda I’ve communion
Here’s something else 2/3 of Catholics believe. They believe that the consecrated eucharist is merely a symbol of Jesus’ presence. It is not. It is Jesus. Whether they believe it or not
One cannot administer Jesus to a publicly professing proponent of birth control and abortion And not be in the state of sin
Period.
Regardless of what anyone believes.
That’s the two thirds of them who are peo abortion I guess. The ones who were baptized Catholic but don’t let it shape their lives overmuch.
Communion?
Buhahahahahahaha....screw that!
Give him Extreme Unction.
The old nut is likely going back to Delaware periodically for blood transfusions from teenagers , just like Hillary Clinton, to keep him going.
Why does he go home to Delaware so frequently asked Mark Levin?
Pro, not peo. Wesh, fat fingers.
Apparently 2/3rds of my co-religionists are idiots.
CC
At least we still know what a bear does in the woods.
No kidding!
Morality has nothing to do with democracy. Everyone, even the Pope, can vote in favor of immorality, and afterward, it it still wickedness.
Two-thirds of Catholics aren’t Catholic.
It’s not about the Pope. It’s about people wanting to do what they want to do telling the creator, who knows what will make us happy and healthy, and has rules to get us there, that they know better.
I don’t need the Pope to tell me Joe Biden by publicly and from a position of power, pushing abortion is not in a state of Grace, able to receive Jesus.
Is the Pope Catholic? That’s no longer a joke but a serious question. (I’m not Catholic and find it troubling that the Pope does not really seem Catholic. Francis was better)
Horsefeathers!
This is an out-and-out lie.
