Friend,
American Catholic bishops voted to draft a formal statement that could rebuke pro-abortion politicians like Joe Biden.
The bishops overwhelmingly favored the motion (168 for and 55 against) to create a document on whether lawmakers who defy church teaching should receive Communion. The next step is to clarify whether pro-abortion figures should receive the Eucharist per this document, which could be diluted and weakened in the writing process. Then, the bishops will vote on the final proposal in November and must approve by a two-thirds majority. Read more.
But prominent pro-abortion politicians are on the attack.

Sixty Catholic Congressmen (all Democrats) sent a shocking letter to American Catholic Bishops today, demanding that they do not prohibit pro-abortion lawmakers from receiving Communion.
(This included six Texas congressmen.)
Joe Biden himself also responded to today’s news about whether he’s concerned he’ll be denied Communion, saying “I don’t think that’s going to happen.”
Among those trying to stop or delay the Pro-Life effort were nine of Texas’ 15 bishops, who signed a letter earlier asking the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to avoid the issue at this week’s annual meeting.

We want to hear from YOU! Will you voice your opinion right now on whether politicians like Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and AOC should receive the Eucharist?
“It’s not the bishops who have brought us to this point — it’s some of our public officials," stated Archbishop Naumann of Kansas City. "[Joe Biden] is a Catholic president doing the most aggressive things we’ve ever seen on life at its most innocent.”
Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler called for repentance of those promoting the sin of abortion and urged faith leaders to form the flock’s conscience rightly:
“…As spiritual fathers and shepherds I urge us to do all we can in each of our dioceses to emphasize the clear connection between repentance, confession of sins, firm purpose of amendment and worthy reception of Our Lord really present in consecrated bread and wine. I speak in support of the drafting of a formal statement on the meaning of the Eucharist in the life of the Church.”
