Catholic bishops approve new guidance on Communion for pro-abortion rights politicians

The U.S Conference of Catholic Bishops on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved new guidance vote on Communion for pro-abortion rights politicians, like President Joe Biden.

U.S. Catholic bishops on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved a controversial teaching document on who should receive Holy Communion that many believe was aimed at President Joe Biden and other Catholic politicians who support abortion rights.

But the document, passed by a vote of 222-8 at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops meeting in Baltimore, does not mention Biden or any other politician by name, avoiding a more direct confrontation.

It appeared, however, to empower individual priests to deny Communion to pro-abortion rights politicians should they encounter them.

"It is the special responsibility of the diocesan bishop to work to remedy situations that involve public actions at variance with the visible communion of the Church and the moral law," the document reportedly said.
