Bishops Could Vote on Biden Taking Communion

Bishops Could Vote on Biden Taking Communion

President's support for abortion rights bothers some in the church

What is this 'vote' stuff?

They have a Pope in Rome who is supposedly infallible in matters of faith.

Their own credibility is low after protecting and hiding child molesting priests for many decades.

They could ask Pat Robertson who claims he talks directly with God.

Welcome to the Catholic & Orthodox Group. This is a safe haven group where discussions about Catholicism and Orthodoxy take place in a forum free from gratuitous attacks or derision of religion and religious beliefs. There are other places for those who really like to do that. Our focus is on the beliefs and traditions of Catholicism and Orthodoxy. For the rest, welcome, and pax vobiscum. Peace be among you.


Constructive criticism of the politics of the Catholic hierarchy is permitted, but no incendiary attacks on the Catholic and/or Orthodox faiths will be tolerated.

I don't understand why anyone with three brain cells to slap together belongs to any church.

Religion or another forum would be a better place for such comments. Thank you.

6. Biden is a man of faith and is a great example to others

Why would the Church want to brand him as unworthy of receiving communion?
If the Church does that, he should just go to an Episcopal Church. The services are very similar.

10. Biden's Archbishop has said he backs Joe.

So the Archbishop can give Joe communion.

I doubt Joe will switch religions at this point in his life.
He won't become a Protestant.
