In July, the bishops overwhelmingly approved the drafting of a “teaching document” that many of them hope will rebuke Catholic politicians for receiving Communion despite their support for abortion rights. Though any document is unlikely to mention Biden by name, its passage would be a clear admonition of the U.S. president.
“I have never refused the eucharist to anyone,” Francis told reporters in September, adding that pastors should “be a pastor, don’t go condemning.” “My views are totally consistent with Catholic social doctrine,” he said. “There are elements within the church who say that if you are at odds with any of the teachings of the church, you are at odds with the church. I think the church is bigger than that.”As president, Biden has pushed an “equality agenda” grounded in his faith.
The image of Biden and Francis standing side by side will send a powerful message to the world, said Sister Carol Zinn, executive director of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious.
A man who supports abortion and same sex marriage isn't even a good Christian much less a good catholic. Abortion is murder. Same sex marriage is perversion.
Did the Pope whisper in this Puppet Pres ear about abortion and his silence about this? I recall years of being divorced and no communion? You were Ostracized ? One can hope there are Priest who do not accept what this Pope may per politics?
No. It’s “is he out of his F’n mind!”

The path the bishops are on will only further alienate the faithful. Francis is right - focus on that which unite us. Most Catholics are not single issue focused. If the bishops hope to lead their flock, they won’t be either.
This is an embarrassing headline. Dear god everyone involved should be fired.
Don't think so,what they care about more is how is his health,and will Trump be the the first replace candidate if something bad happens.

And for even more the question is, how much longer are these churches going to interfere in our politics before there are consequences?
