This thread has deteriorated and gone off topic.
The bishops should not deny Communion to President Biden. The Vatican and half of our country's cardinals will or have agreed.
I agree.
He is the most faith-filled and moral president since Jimmy Carter, who still inspires and uplifts us with his goodness at age 97.
To those of you who see him--and all of life--through a very narrow lens neither of them is good.
I am scandalized by the bishops, not President Biden. We have endured 4 years of extreme corruption, cruelty, oligarchy, and continuing attempts to establish a dictatorship and subvert our democracy, and they--and you--remained silent.
Pope Francis had an audience with President Trump and his family. Melania Trump brought him her rosary and said she was a Catholic. He welcomed her as a prodigal daughter. He was generous. If she had gone up for Communion, he probably would have given her that moment of grace. He was cordial, although obviously not effusively so, with President Trump.
I always found it interesting that the day Pope Francis visited Speaker Boehner, a Catholic, decided to retire. Obviously he had a transforming moment.
On Fr. Jim Martin's FB page, it is surprising how many commented that the bishops had finally caused them to leave the Church. They are creating the scandal. They will not change a single person into putting making the world a better place on hold to fight abortion full time.
Those wonderful people will work in another vineyard.
