I need to do penance, because I am GLAD Joe Biden will not be allowed to receive communion. I am ashamed of myself. [I Was Raised Catholic]

30 Bishops of the Catholic church are now working on a document that will clarify what it means to be Catholic.

Those public figures who openly endorse abortion are in violation of the teachings of the Catholic church, and the Catholic Church will eventually have that right out there in writing with the support of 30 Catholic Bishops.

Unless and until these public figures STOP endorsing abortion, it is the HEIGHT of hypocrisy for them to continue receiving communion as though they were part of the body of Christ.

Joe Biden, when asked about this, refuses to comment...says, "That's personal." Noooo, Joe...

It's personal to everyday Catholics, IMO. But if the President of the United States is MODELING support of abortion to the entire world, is it personal any longer? That's the whole POINT, Joe. This is NOT a personal issue for public figures.

And that goes double and triple for Nancy Pelosi who drools on about her "heart of love" and how [i]HOLY[/i] she is. NOT.

Jesus, in the New Testament, was upset about the hypocrisy of the Pharisees...so I think it's not without precedent to be upset at the massive hypocrisy of our highest public figures.

Personally, I feel that both Biden and Pelosi should be excommunicated from the church. They have to obey the rules like every other Catholic.

@lifeistoshort I agree with you. I feel the same way...but that is NOT what the church is about anymore. Maybe in the old days, but the church has changed. Every sinner, even Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden, can repent of their sin and return to the church.

But the Church can tell these sinners that they are no longer a part of the body of Christ unless and until they change.
