On Friday, US President Joe Biden was asked about a "resolution" of the U.S. bishops to deny him and other pro-abortion politicians Communion – even though their vote this week was on drafting the teaching document, not any national policy of denying Communion.
“That’s a private matter and I don’t think that is going to happen,” Biden said.
Te U.S. bishops held their annual spring general assembly this week. The bishops debated drafting a document on the Eucharist, which would include a sub-section on “Eucharistic coherence,” or worthiness to receive Communion.
In a proposed outline of the document, the bishops’ doctrine committee cited the special need for Catholic public officials to uphold Church teaching in public life.
Biden, who is the second Catholic US president, has pushed for taxpayer-funded abortion while his administration seeks to deregulate medical abortions and to fund international pro-abortion groups.
On the 48th anniversary of the US Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide, Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris issued a statement supporting Roe and stating their intent to codify it in law.
Biden repealed the Mexico City Policy, an executive policy that bars U.S. funding of foreign NGOs that provide or promote abortions.
In domestic abortion policy, Biden moved to allow for federal funding of elective abortions by introducing his budget request for the 2022 fiscal year without the Hyde amendment. That policy, enacted in law since 1976 as a rider to budget bills, prohibited federal funding of most elective abortions in Medicaid.

He’ll hunt around for a priest who will do it.
“He’ll hunt around for a priest who will do it.” Exactly. And, in today’s fallen Catholic Church under Francis, he won’t have to search for very long at all
As I understand it the Archbishop for D.C. has already stated he won’t deny Biden communion regardless of the Bishops’ actions.
That is not the judgment he should fear!
Biden should get a public bell, book and candle ritual of excommunication. However the spineless bishops will pander to their leftist supporters including a heretical Pope. I recall that Teddy Kennedy, profligate public sinner and abortion champion was given a lavish Church funeral.
Biden’s bishop, Cardinal Gregory, has pretty much declared that democrats can’t commit sin.
He actually has a good canonical case that his age onset loss of mental faculties render his judgment to be on the level of an infant, and thus incapable for answering for canonical penalties.
All blessed by Joe, and his son slept with his other son’s wife while other son was alive, too.
All while Joe called Trump supporters the dregs of society.
That’s the precise term he used.
‘
If the Catholic Church still meant anything he would be denied.
But they are now run by an ImPopester.
I doubt if Bidet knows what communion is all about.
Did the priest get threatened with arkancide, if he didn’t comply?
Yeah, because he sicced the IRS on the Catholic church.
He does so with the danger of committing sacrilege. He’s been taught. He’s been warned. His obstinance will be his downfall.
Drink your own damnation, ya baby-killing POS.
#2272 “Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life. “A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication….”
#2322 “From its conception, the child has the right to life. Direct abortion, that is, abortion willed as an end or as a means, is a “criminal” practice (GS 27 # 3), gravely contrary to the moral law. The Church imposes the canonical penalty of excommunication for this crime against human life.”
