Should Catholic Bishops Formally Condemn the Democrat Party?

[Michie]

This Forum is a place for respectful discussion and debate of political issues, by Roman Catholics, in the context of the Roman Catholic Faith.


Since January of this year, there has been renewed interest in the denial of Holy Communion for those who promote or support the murderous act of abortion. After Joseph Biden took the oath of office on January 20, among his first acts as the new occupant of the White House was the reversal of the pro-life measures that had been put into place by President Donald Trump.

Since that time, renewed debate has heated up among the bishops as to whether or not Biden and other such self-professing “Catholics” should be denied Holy Communion in accord with Canon 915 of The Code of Canon Law, which states:


Those who have been excommunicated or interdicted after the imposition or declaration of the penalty and others obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to holy Communion.

Most recently, Biden declared that he does not believe the Church’s teaching that life begins at the very moment of conception (meaning, the very moment egg and sperm are united), a teaching based not on revelation but on science.

A first step would be for various bishops to disaffiliate from the Democratic Party. Others could disaffiliate from other parties too, but the mere existence of bishops belonging to and active in the Democratic Party seems seriously deranged at this point in history.

The should consider an affiliation with the faith and teachings of the Church imo.
