We must study the Scripture

The church can neither ban nor allow communion with Christ. Any church that does so seeks to "control" its parishioners. I am not catholic, but studies ministry for years and as such I do understand the truth of the following verse, as will everyone who reads it. Taking communion is upon the heads of every single person who does so. Clearly if you are in any active sin at all, taking the body and blood of Christ is an egregious matter. So Biden, or anyone else who takes the blood of Christ in an unworthy manor is guilty. Banning him by the church will not prevent him taking the blood. He could go anywhere it is freely offered and take it.



The Christian church passes the loaf and cup through its congregation and one can partake. It can be taken in anyone. Worthy or not. But be careful of this thing which is very serious. It is a matter of the heart. And God knows the heart.
So just because a priest or anyone else offers that blood doesn't absolve anyone of their responsibility of the heart. It is a personal thing and not a thing to be controlled by another. Not a priest nor anyone else. But be sure that personal decision is a good one. Otherwise you are guilty of the Blood of Christ.

The verse: 1 Cor. 11:26-29, “For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes. 27 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he does not judge the body rightly.”

Note that Paul says here....,"let a man examine himself" not let anyone else do so. No man is to examine another in relation to the blood of Christ.
So they can allow or deny all they wish, Just because a Priest allows a sinner communion it doesn't mean they are Not Guilty. Indeed they are justly guilty of the blood of Christ.
Biden has expanded abortion. He has not changed his mind. Let him examine himself to see if he is worthy of the blood of Christ. I will not say, but it is indeed obvious. He is living in sin and has not changed. If I were in his shoes, I would be very, very careful of my actions. He is old and nearing the judgment.

"It is appointed man once to die, and then the judgment".
Examine the scriptures in both English and Greek. So all these reports are just window dressing for the media. What counts is God.
He is the final solution. Please look at the last part of this scripture. He will be bring judgment to himself. No one will bring judgment to him. The church code doesn't matter one iota in this case. ds

That is not a true statement.
-A priest will not knowingly give Communion to someone who has not been baptised.
-A priest will not knowingly give Communion to someone who has not had their First Communion.
-A priest will not give Communion to someone he knows is not Catholic.
-A priest will not give Communion to someone he knows will commit sacrilege against it such as "protesters" did in St. Patrick's Cathedral years ago by throwing the Host on the floor.
-A priest will not give Communion to someone he knows will not consume it nor will bring it to someone else who will.
-A priest can not give Communion to someone who publicly renounces Catholicism such as Jao Bai-Din, Nanzi Pelosi and other Democrat politicians have done.

Jao Bai-din can be given a pass though because despite anything he says or signs, he's mentally incompetent and the Church doesn't hold that as a reason to withhold Communion.

It’s so simple when we merely read what the Book says.
