Joe does his signature "Joker" imitation |
The decision to allow Biden to receive the Body of Christ, in spite of his decision to allow unborn babies to be killed, is being decided in June by American bishops. They will vote on a document clarifying whether high-profile pro-abortion "Cafeteria Catholics," such as our brain-addled President, be denied Holy Communion. It's even possible that New York Gov. Andrew "Nobody Beats My Covid Score" Cuomo (D) will have his Communion privilege revoked, and this means he can go to hell.
The talks have been going on for months by several prominent Catholic leaders as Biden and others who embrace abortion are effectively kicking the Church in the clappers.
“I do not see how depriving the president or other political leaders of the Eucharist based on their public policy stance can be interpreted in our society as anything other than a weaponization of the Eucharist … to pummel them into submission,” McElroy said in February.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops will face differing views, with some leaders saying the church needs to send a message to public figures that they cannot defy the teachings of the Catholic Church while posing as devout, faithful Catholics, and others evidently think having a U.S. President in their corner and the "Don of New York" might be a harsh step, even if Jesus would agree with the former group.
Bishop John Stowe of Lexington, Kentucky, said focusing on abortion makes it more difficult for the bishops to find common ground with Biden on other issues such as climate change, immigration and inequality. He left out the issue of morality and taxpayer funding that supports the killing of babies, and the fact that Gov. Cuomo agrees that killing babies is a big business that should not be stopped and that he may be guilty of sexual misconduct. But hey, it's the Catholic Church, so who knows how they're going to decide?
“If a politician is targeted as a negative example by his own church, that sets a sad context in which the church can deal with this Catholic president,” Stowe said. “It contributes to the polarization of the church and of society.”
Bishop Robert McElroy of San Diego stupidly said Communion should not become a weapon. He seems to forget that the Body of Christ is only to be received by those whose souls have been cleansed via confession, and confession only works when the person confessing is sincere. But who am I to speak about religion when we have political bishops who can do that for me?

Ah, but if the Church denies the Eucharist to all those who believe in abortion, then perhaps we can save some of the unborn, or at the very least, cleanse the Church of people who agree with the abortion issue.
And how can a bishop not see how vital the pro-life, anti-abortion issue is? Yes insofar as Biden is involved, it is political. But it is also a tenet of the Church and as such, should be respected and followed.
Unless the bishop himself is a Cafeteria Catholic.
Why should the Church bow to the beliefs of politicians who refuse to bow to the tenets of the Church, but "respect" those who bow to the flag they pretend to represent?
