” But Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington, part of the conclave that elected Francis, has said he would offer Pelosi communion despite her views on abortion because he didn’t believe communion should be used as a weapon. “We never -– the Church just didn’t use Communion this way. It wasn’t a part of the way we do things, and it wasn’t a way we convinced Catholic politicians to appropriate the faith and live it and apply it; the challenge has always been to convince people,” Wuerl said in a 2010 interview. His position would logically extend to Biden. The vice president’s bishop, Francis Malooly of Wilmington, Del., has also said he would not deny communion to Biden. “

Cardinal Wuerl and Bishop Malooly are wrong.

In fact, Cardinal Wuerl is guilty of creating a straw-man to rationalize his disobedience to the Catholic Church.

Absolutely! I in no way posted that to DEFEND them;I was only pointing out that the Pope himself did not give communion to Biden or Pelosi!
