Report: Vatican ‘Nixed’ Request for Joe Biden to Attend Mass with Pope Francis

Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D. 15 Jun 2021

ROME — Joe Biden’s entourage requested permission for the president to attend Mass with Pope Francis during his European visit, which the Vatican “nixed,” according to a Wednesday report from Catholic News Agency (CNA).

The Vatican’s refusal stemmed from “the impact that Biden receiving Holy Communion from the pope would have on the discussions the USCCB [U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops] is planning to have during their meeting starting Wednesday, June 16,” the report stated, citing an unnamed Vatican source.

Tuesday’s report corrects a prior CNA story alleging that the president would meet with the pope on June 15, which will apparently not occur.

Biden has come under fire from numerous U.S. bishops for his promotion of “grave moral evils” such as abortion, which put him at odds with Catholic belief. Among the issues to be discussed by the bishops in their meeting this week is “Eucharistic coherence,” a term encompassing conditions necessary for a Catholic to receive Holy Communion at Mass.

A number of bishops have declared that a Catholic politician like Joe Biden who flouts Catholic teaching on key moral issues and uses his position to promote intrinsically evil actions should not receive Communion.

Catholics believe abortion is a grave injustice, since it involves the intentional killing of an innocent human being.

They should snub him if they believe in their own religion.
