Catholic bishops could consider whether Biden should recieve Communion

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is holding a meeting in June to consider whether its Committee on Doctrine should draft a document clarifying the church's stance on abortion.

The meeting and consideration come as President Biden continues to support abortion rights while also claiming the title of a "devout Catholic."

While the USCCB deferred comment on exactly what would be discussed at the meeting or what any potential documents may contain, a spokesperson did confirm that the meeting will be held on June 4.

The spokesperson added that it would be premature to say exactly what any prospective documents discussed at the meeting would say or cover.

If the committee does decide to draft any kind of document at the June meeting, it likely would not be presented to the full body of bishops for discussion and a vote until November, the spokesperson said.

Certain bishops have made comments about clarifying the church's abortion position and whether or not the president can receive Communion while also abortion rights, signaling that discussion of the issue may be brought up at the meeting later this summer.

Such a stance, by a public figure, is "a grave moral evil," according to Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City, Kansas, who chairs the USCCB’s Committee on Pro-Life Activities and believes it’s necessary to publicly rebuke Biden on the issue.

"Because President Biden is Catholic, it presents a unique problem for us," Naumann told The Associated Press. "It can create confusion. ... How can he say he’s a devout Catholic and he’s doing these things that are contrary to the church’s teaching?"..........

Considering .... feel the church sliding even further from what it claims to represent. But my good ole Southern Baptist are doing the same thing just a couple of decades behind the Catholics. Whatcha wanna bet, by the end of term, they will be looking the other way completely on what Biden is doing.

I bet an Egg McMuffin coupon the bishops will not deny Communion.

They need the weekly collection$ from America's cafeteria Catholics to fund the Church.

Roman Catholicism is anchored by the teachings of Jesus Christ, articulated in the
New Testament Gospels, further supported by the wisdom of the Old Testament,
each of which appeal to the infinite wisdom of Natural Law, birthed as Mankind's foundational Rules of Governance.
The essence and core precept of Natural Law is that the Family Unit of Father,
Mother and Children are the bedrock/model of culture/society in all civilizations.
As such, any attitude, behavior, impulse or sentiment harming the Family Unit
is Verboten; to be condemned, forbidden and mercilessly punished, as was the
case w/abortion and homosexuality down thru history.
Yet the modern Papacy ain't so sure about abortion while much of its hierarchy
is riddled w/homosexuals.
That reality tells the world everything they wish to know about what an appalling
disgrace the Church of Rome, has evolved into.

For most of my almost 61 years I have a been a faithful Catholic. I quasi left about 21 years ago for a year or so and my wife's middle brother brought me back in and I ended up enrolled in the local seminary as a lay student. It is impossible for me to articulate just how disgusted and appalled I am that the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden can be called faithful Catholics.

I'm not a Catholic, but I have enough respect for faithful Catholics that I find the likes of Pelosi, Biden, Joe Kennedy Sr., JFK, RFK, and Teddy the Snorkel disgusting. However often they warm the pew, they are not faithful Catholics. Using the term in the Catholic sense, they are causes of scandal.

Biden, as a staunch supporter of mass genocide(abortion), he should be excommunicated.

You forgot two important people who are Catholic but shouldn't be.

I agree,  I doubt it would make any difference to Joe nor would it make a difference to him if he was unable to receive communion. 

His stance on several issues doesn't align with the Church and I am glad to see bishops raising concern.  The concern should have been raised long before now and certainly not with just Joe.

My best guess is they are all going to suffer from pulled muscles and joint damage from trying to dance around reality and be on both sides of the issue when the dust settles.

On the best days they have ever had,they were nothing but whores.

You mean they were peachy-keen when they were boiling suspected unbelievers to death in pots of flaming oil hundreds of years ago?

Not to mention things like tying up accused sinners and throwing them in the river to see if they were guilty or not,because only the guilty would drown?

[jafo2010]

The movie Spotlight opened my eyes with their data contained in the credits at the end of the movie.

It is the only movie I have seen where after it was over and the credits rolled, no one left the theater.  I think everyone was shocked at the numbers of priests in the USA sexually assaulting children.  1 in 6 priests sodomized children in the USA, and the bishops protected these predators across the country consistently.  I was shocked.  Still am shocked.

And like a typical zealot,you refuse to hear anything negative about your superstition. Takes a special kind of "discipline" as  well as lack of character to do that,bubbaC
