"And if those two wish to commit sacrilege, then that's on their shoulders ... not the Church's."

What?? Canon 915 isn't about them and they, in fact, aren't the real problem other than being the clowns Barry sent as a deliberate insult to the Church.

Take it in context of the conversation. In this particular instance, Biden and Pelosi presented themselves for communion ... probably to total strangers that didn't even know who they were. In that case, yes ... it's on their shoulders. The minister distributing likely knew nothing about them thus was not in a position to deny them the Holy Eurcharist.

Context is important.

Context?

Sure, the rules don’t apply to everyone equally nor are the Clergy actually supposed to obey the rules themselves. That’s the context.
