U.S. bishops target Biden, take step towards denying communion to pro-choice Catholic politicians; Update (Ed) HotAir

The Vatican s policy is that it s up to a Catholic s local bishop whether to provide him the Eucharist and the bishop of D.C., Wilton Gregory, has made clear that the president won t be denied. On top of that, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops may not have the votes needed to approve a formal statement calling on Catholic politicians to be good exemplars of the Church s teachings or else. Today the Conference approved the drafting of a statement that the total body will vote on sometime later this year. The statement will be addressed to all Catholics, according to the initial proposal, and should include the theological foundation for the Church s discipline concerning the reception of Holy Communion and a special call for those Catholics who are cultural, political, or parochial leaders to witness the faith.

Witness the faith meaning, in this case, espousing pro-life views.
