Joe Biden Defies Bishops, Attends Mass Two Days After They Vote for New Communion Document

Joe Biden defied the nation’s Catholic bishops this weekend by attending Mass just two days after they voted for a new document on communion that could be used to rebuke pro-abortion politicians like him.

After the bishops overwhelming voted for the document and despite numerous bishops speaking up about the importance of the Catholic Church’s opposition to killing babies in abortion, the supposedly “faithful Catholic” went to mass anyway.

According to the Daily Mail:

President Joe Biden attended Mass on Saturday afternoon near his Delaware home ignoring a growing controversy as U.S. Catholic bishops try to block him receiving Communion because of his liberal stance on abortion.

He walked through the churchyard of St Joseph on the Brandywine before entering the church for its 4pm service.

He is a regular at the church when spending the weekend in Wilmington, and it was a familiar moment on a day marked by heartbreak. [Death of one of their dogs.]

Writing at the American Thinker, Monica Showalter called Biden “arrogant” for receiving communion so soon after the bishops stressed how repugnant it is for politicians who promote killing God’s children in abortions to claim they are in communion with the Church and pro-life Biblical teachings.

They are threatening to take away the tax status of the Catholic Church. Dems have to win at all costs and will crush anyone in their way.

Bullying Dems will have FCC take conservative’s radio licenses away soon. They play dirty and play rough. Banning on Facebook and Twitter. Doxing, canceling.

Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war-—at least in the legal arena.

He can go to mass. Whoever gives him communion is aiding and abetting the desecration of the Eucharist. That’s all

Can’t he just say 2 Hail Marys and an Act of Contrition?

What’s the big deal?

Can’t he remember the words?

Is it a GOOD Act of Contrition if you’re reading it off a teleprompter?

He’s making a mockery of the communion. And the church is bending over and saying “thank you sir, may I have another?8”

The Catholic Church is nowhere to be found, that would allow Joe Robinette Biden Jr. to receive communion on his cerebral state of unrepentant mortal sin.

“cerebral” should be “current “

Have no idea how that happened.

And the weaklings of the Catholic church will do nothing.

Pedo-Joe probably thinks he’s tight with God because he performs a religious ceremony. Sorry, Joe. An unpleasant surprise may await you.

Nope. Abortion is such an abominable sin that formerly it could not be absolved by a priest, only the bishop.

The USCCB will not stand up and fight. They will cringe and disappear until the dust dies down. Then in a couple years maybe, they will come up with a “teaching document.”

Only a bishop?

Must be series.

What do you have to do that requires a papal pardon?

Also, as long as he is married to a divorcee whose original husband is still alive he should not go up for communion.

These bishops don’t get that “God” is a metaphor for the Democratic Party. “Mainline” Protestants and even some Jews get it, why can’t they? /sarc
