Bishop José Ignacio Munilla of San Sebastián, Spain, harshly criticized President Joe Biden’ claim that Pope Francis personally encouraged him to continue receiving Communion despite his open support for abortion.
"These incredible statements reveal the moral character of those who are capable of compromising and manipulating the Pope with the intention of washing their conscience stained by the blood of so many innocent lives unjustly eliminated," Bishop Munilla said in an Oct. 30 tweet.
On Oct. 29, Pope Francis received Biden in the Vatican for 75 minutes. The U.S. president told Reuters that Pope Francis told him “to keep receiving Communion.”
The Associated Press reported that Biden received Communion a day later, during a Mass offered at St. Patrick's Church, an English-speaking church that is the main place the American Catholic community in Rome goes for Mass.
Individual U.S. bishops have issued statements in recent months on Communion for pro-abortion politicians.
Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield in Illinois said in May that “Sadly, there are some bishops and cardinals of the Church who not only are willing to give holy Communion to pro-abortion politicians, but who seek to block the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops from addressing the question of Eucharistic coherence.”
Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco stated in May that pro-abortion Catholic politicians should refrain from presenting themselves for Communion.

SOP: Believe -nothing- Joe Biden says ...
While I deeply appreciate Bishop José Ignacio Munilla’s statement, am soberly askance as to why the Vatican has remained mum about the episode.
Pope Francis has got to be the most tone-deaf guy in the world.
bad juju to lie on the Pope
I totally believe this pope said it. He is not about God. But I bet he was ticked when Biden told.
It was read the Vatican pulled the broadcast plug as the Church did not condone the rules and limitations the WH wished to be followed. If true, this would be the time The Pope should speak up and tell the truth: Is JB lying or not.
Confession is private, however, would this be considered confession rather than just another falsehood from the current Resident.
Bishop, consider the source and pray that The Pope disregards
the two peas in a pod comradeship regarding Climate Change and makes known the true discussion to shine light on this
conversation. After all, if anyone was unfit - the name JB would be shown in flashing, bright lights, with enlarged letters.
Doe "JB" refer to Joe Biden or Jorge Bergoglio, or both? They're both notorious liars.
Such a pity for all citizens. None of us are able to make
that decision. Two peas in a pod: both adore speaking of the dire prospects of climate change, both have the same agenda, both relate falsehoods with no hesitation. Both claim to be something they are not. That both have initials of JB is the icing on the cake.
