CATHOLIC BISHOPS PLAN TO DENY PRO ABORTION LEADERS COMMUNION
Hello he Catholic Church is planing to exclude leaders who supports abortions from communion
U.S. Catholic bishops agreed to prepare a document that would lay out conditions under which politicians who support abortion rights, including President Biden, may be denied Communion.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops overwhelmingly voted, 168-55, to draft a document that they hope will prevent Biden and other Catholic politicians from receiving Communion if they advocate for abortion rights.
The decision to draft a statement on politicians and communion was a rebuke of the nation’s second Catholic president and exposed bitter divisions in American Catholicism.
Clerics are forbidden by Canon law 915 to allow a publicly known mortal sinner (ie an abortion advocate) to receive Holy Communion under penalty of that cleric's immediate suspension. No debate! It's Church law. Some just don't want to obey it. But He's God; we're not!
It’s Church law made by men. I didn’t see anyone complain about Barr and others complain or attempt to prevent them from receiving communion because they support the death penalty.
