What bugs me about the whole Catholic Church/Biden issue is how the Archbishop of Denver, Charles Chaput, is warning Biden not to come to his church and expect to receive communion. Once again, the church is politicizing one of the sacraments. Last time I checked, communion was for every Catholic, not just the ones bishops deem "worthy Catholics'.
In fact, the Red Mass that the CC holds every year is specifically a mass for politicians, lawmakers. ie. My dad leads the Red Mass in Hawai'i. If he denied pro-choice politicians communion, not many people would be receiving it that day.
And once again, the media and Republicans are shedding light on this issue like they really cared about what the Catholic Church thinks. It's just brought to light to be a wedge issue to make Biden look bad. Just like Kerry, just like 2004.
Pelosi is right, I know a lot of "choose life" Catholics.
