Biden’s Jesuit DC Parish Council Declares They Won’t Deny Communion to Anyone

Holy Trinity Parish is a bastion of fringe liberal Catholicism in an archdiocese whose leaders have exhibited complicit behavior regarding homosexuality, transgenderism, and abortion.

WASHINGTON, June 30, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — The parish council at historic Holy Trinity Catholic Church, the Jesuit-run parish where President Joe Biden normally attends Sunday Mass, has issued a statement declaring that their church “will not deny the Eucharist to persons presenting themselves to receive it.”

The parish declaration is clearly a response to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) stated intention to draft a formal statement on the Eucharist addressing Church teaching on worthiness to receive Holy Communion, which will bear upon the reception of the Eucharist by pro-abortion Catholic politicians.

While a parish council has no authority over the distribution and conferral of the sacraments, the parish’s Jesuit pastor’s continued silence signals his agreement with the council’s proclamation.

“We stand with our Archbishop, Cardinal Wilton Gregory, concerning the issues surrounding offering the Eucharist to American politicians,” begins the brief dispatch. The Washington, D.C., archbishop is one of several outspoken U.S. prelates who have decried the USCCB’s move to protect the Eucharist from being received unworthily.

Yeah, well, Jesuits...

Does the guy who murdered Ashli Babbitt in cold blood still get communion?

[Dogbert41]

Yeah, kinda figures being that he’s a pedophile and all...

Note to the next pope: It’s past time to suppress the Jesuit Order again.

The parish council needs to be disbanded and likewise denied Communion unless and until they repent. They are supporting an abortion-promoting “Catholic” politician.

The pastor staying mum is giving his assent and support, so he’s at risk, also. A bad shepherd.

So the priests want "Creepy" Joe Biden to go to hell for accepting communion in an unpardoned state.

That's pretty cold, man.

Sounds better than both the Clinton’s receiving
communion in South Africa while Jesse Jackson watched.
And later on having another White House person without affiliation following up and explaining what is what to the Church.
Clintons doing what Clintons do.

As I learned the hard way during 8 years of Jesuit education, Jesuits are not necessarily Catholic. Many of them truly hate Catholicism.

While Scripturally no such manifestly impenitent profound sinner should be accepted in communion (1 Corinthians 5:11) - which is sppsd to declare the Lord's death via the union among those bought by His sinless shed blood by their sharing this communal meal - liberal churches would have fellowship with devils, while in your false church (albeit with many true teachings) it actually can get complicated (depending on who is teaching): http://www.canonlaw.info/a_denialofeucharist.htm, https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2019/10/30/explainer-when-can-someone-be-denied-eucharist

For a second I thought the headline said they won’t deny communism to anyone.

The Jesuits were revered at one time.

They went the way of the once revered FBI in both becoming the most reviled.
