Whether in Washington, D.C., Delaware, or overseas, one thing is consistent for President Biden—he always makes sure to attend a Catholic mass. But the president's faith is under a new spotlight this week, as the nation's more than 200 Catholic bishops gather virtually.
Among the topics to be discussed: Whether high-profile Catholic politicians should be denied Communion if they support abortion rights. CBS News papal and Vatican contributor Monsignor Anthony Figueiredo said the Catholic church's opposition to abortion is clear. "And even Pope Francis, you know, he has called [abortion] an abomination," Figueiredo told CBS News' Ed O'Keefe.More Related News
