Baby-killing advocates Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi have told the press that they received communion at the papal mass. And I've seen loads of pictures of both at the papal mass. Seeing how the big news story their presence spurs is whether they'd receive communion, is there any evidence that they did? It's not like both have not directly lied about their relationships with the Catholic faith.
Please understand that I am not making an assertion that they did NOT. I am only trying to find confirmation that they DID.
Luckily, Dante was able to get outta there. :-)
We read the Divine Comedy in college. It’s very good, but having explanatory notes helps.
And the tunnels between the rectory and the convent! Don’t forget those! :0)
The unrepentant sinner who takes Holy Communion calls down judgment upon himself.
Would you like a return of the Inquisition?
The Church can only teach.
The sin of unrepentant abortionists is on their heads. If Biden and Pelosi received they are in mortal danger. For these and other plunderers the appearance of propriety is more important than the reality. They would rather burn in hell than lose their earthly status.
Too bad there is not a warning about that before every communion service. It might make all people reexamine their lives. Most good Christians do examine it daily or at least before taking communion.
I think most pro-abortion people don't’ really believe in God, but say they do for political purposes. Others have made up their own version of who God because they don't like who God is; they don't want to submit to His authority. Thus they make themselves a false Idol.

I’ll have to read it. Maybe I’ll send it to the White House when I’m done.
No self respecting priest would give either of these two fly invested t*rds communion.
If they do, they are not Catholic priests.
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
1 Corinthians 11:27-32 KJV
That is pure garbage.
I expected more from this Pope and the Church.
I guess that was my error. Business as usual.
How hopelessly depressing.
If they shouldn't receive it - THEN DON'T GIVE IT TO THEM.
Ohhh - the horror! The outrage that Biden and Pelosi took Holy Communion! But isnt the real tragedy the fact that The Catholic Church tolerates and permits this?I think the real tragedy in the Catholic Church is that not enough of the parishioners "take it upon themselves" to pray, attend Holy Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, and Confession. The pope had some 200,000 at the Mass; singling out a couple of bozos (who "possibly" could have repented beforehand, and thus should be allowed Holy Communion anyway) would have turned the Mass into a circus, complete with Swiss Guards ushering them out if they made a scene. The right thing was done. Biden and Pelosi need prayers. Pope Francis needs prayers. We all do.
Now lets watch and see if anything is done here. My money says NO! It has been this way for a hundred years. IMO, it's why the church is disintegrating before our eyes.
Now I will wait for the obligatory "Catholic basher" flames. Everyone seems more interested in covering up the church's shortcomings than discussing them. The church government won't confront open sin in the pew in fear of running someone off that may tithe. I think Kennedy proved that. I bet Pelosi gives a pretty penny to her Parish.
“The unrepentant sinner who takes Holy Communion calls down judgment upon himself. . . The Church can only teach.”
True. The Pope and priests will not pass judgment and they will not determine the place and time. They’ve delivered the teaching and those without souls choose not to listen. On the judgment day they will be held accountable and there will be no second chance.
Ping for later
No Priest will withhold Holy Communion because they have NO idea if they went to Confession....period.
I heard a rumor that neither Bidens nor Pelosis reflections will appear in a mirror. Perhaps that extends to film and Charge Coupled Devices as well. However, I have it on good authority that both will cast a shadow
i wish dolan would have told him not you.
its not like they don’t have people there that do know who they are, or anyone around them could say something.
