ROME — The Vatican has warned conservative American bishops to hit the brakes on their push to deny communion to politicians supportive of abortion rights — including President Biden, a faithful churchgoer and the first Roman Catholic to occupy the Oval Office in 60 years.
But despite the remarkably public stop sign from Rome, the American bishops are pressing ahead anyway and are expected to force a debate on the communion issue at a remote meeting that starts on Wednesday.
Some leading bishops, whose priorities clearly aligned with former President Donald J. Trump, now want to reassert the centrality of opposition to abortion in the Catholic faith and lay down a hard line — especially with a liberal Catholic in the Oval Office.The vote threatens to shatter the facade of unity with Rome, highlight the political polarization within the American church and set what church historians consider a dangerous precedent for bishops’ conferences across the globe.

Someone needs to build up the nerve to politely tell
His Holiness to ‘stay in his lane’.
He’s getting overly involved in the politics and the diplomacy of individual countries.
Everyone who’s paying attention already sees a Pope who is always biased on taking the Non-Christian perspective.
He doesn’t seem to want the faith defended or maintained at all.
The ImPopester is a tool of Satan, it should be readily apparent to everyone by now.
He was installed by the New World Order to destroy the Catholic Church.
Pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit to saturate the minds and hearts of the Bishops.

Is the Pope Catholic?
Pope Marx is an idolater who continues to promotes the supremacy of Marxism.
Aligned with Trump on what?
Communion... we should hope so as Catholics. It would be good for the Church.
the “Anything goes” Popester says what? Shocking!
Communists stick together...
By their fruits, you shall know them
Never thought I’d see the day when the Vatican would be further left than the USCCB...
The Vatican and CC, God would describe them as a Harlot.

I wonder, is the mule channeling pACHAMAMA?
“Some leading bishops, whose priorities clearly aligned with former President Donald J. Trump,”
It’s gonna take a lot of tractor to spread out that manure pile. The Bishops who support denying the Eucharist to those politicians who create public scandal with their support of abortion align with Church teaching. Trump has nothing to do with their adherence to it.
