Former Philly Archbishop: Joe Biden Should Be Denied Holy Communion

Though Joe Biden may indeed be a Catholic, he directly opposes church teaching on grave moral matters, especially abortion. As a public servant committing a public sin, church teaching stipulates that he should be denied access to the sacrament of Holy Communion until he repents. However, D.C. Cardinal Wilton Gregory has said he will administer Holy Communion to Joe Biden in the spirit of dialogue; former Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput disagrees.

Writing for First Things, Chaput argued that denying Joe Biden the sacrament of Holy Communion would be the most pastoral action, while acknowledging the importance of exercising prudence to avoid a public spectacle.

“Public figures who identify as ‘Catholic’ give scandal to the faithful when receiving Communion by creating the impression that the moral laws of the Church are optional,” writes Chaput. “And bishops give similar scandal by not speaking up publicly about the issue and danger of sacrilege.”

“Those bishops who publicly indicate in advance that they will undertake their own dialogue with President-elect Joseph Biden and allow him Communion effectively undermine the work of the task force established at the November bishops’ conference meeting to deal precisely with this and related issues,” he continues. “This gives scandal to their brother bishops and priests, and to the many Catholics who struggle to stay faithful to Church teaching. It does damage to the bishops’ conference, to the meaning of collegiality, and to the fruitfulness of the conference’s advocacy work with the incoming administration.”

Chaput later asserts that bishops who regard abortion as one issue among others fail to recognize the gravity of Joe Biden’s decision to facilitate the evil of abortion.

...And to think ... my dad was excommunicated because he married my mother, who was not of the Catholic faith.

...And to think ... my dad was excommunicated because he married my mother, who was not of the Catholic faith.

That was before pope socialista fagato who is cut from the same cloth of perversion as Joe. I am guessing anyone from priest on up who denies Joe Holy Communion will be dealt with swiftly and harshly, probably very publicly also.
