Do you think these bishops are politically weaponizing the Eucharist?
Article excerpt:
California Democrat suggests Catholic church should be stripped of tax-exempt status if it denies Biden communion:
A
Democratic congressman from
California has said that the
Catholic church should have their tax-free status revoked if they decide President
Joe Biden should not be able to take
Communion.
The comment from Rep Jared Huffman comes after a recent US Conference of Catholic Bishops vote on 18 June to begin the process to deny Mr. Biden the ability to take Communion. 73% of US bishops voted for the motion, which was to share a full description of the sacrament of the Eucharist.
Mr. Huffman wrote on Twitter,
“If they’re going to politically weaponize religion by ‘rebuking’ Democrats who support women’s reproductive choice, then a ‘rebuke’ of their tax-exempt status may be in order.”

Pew Research Poll, 67% of US Catholics think that Biden's abortion views should not disqualify him from communion. So, what are your thoughts on this issue? Please be civil.
