Christians tell Catholic bishops to 'Stop Partisan Politics,' Let Biden Take Communion

More than 20,000 Christians have signed an online petition urging U.S. Cathholic bishops to "stop partisan politics," pushing back against their efforts to rebuke President Joe Biden and other Catholic politicians that support womens' reproductive rights.

U.S. Catholic Bishops voted on Thursday to approve the drafting of a "teaching document" that would rebuke Biden and other Catholic lawmakers for receiving communion while supporting abortion. The result of the vote was announced on Friday, with a 168 in favor and just 55 opposed. The decision came despite guidance from the Vatican to take a more cautious and careful approach to the issue.

"If this right-wing hit job proceeds, it will be in spite of the Vatican warning against the inevitable divisions," said the petition by Faithful America, which describes itself as the largest online community of Christians putting faith into action for social justice. "It would also be just for show: Washington's Archbishop Wilton Cardinal Gregory has made it clear he will not deny Biden Communion, proving the vote's only point is to send a partisan signal."

The Christian organization said the conservative bishops were pushing the effort forward and "prioritizing cheap political points over spiritual grace."

If being against abortion and holding a supposed catholic to that basic standard is partisan. The Catholic Church is in serious trouble.

I’m sure Almighty God said: “C’mo man, stop partisan politics and let abortion supporting Biden have my HOLY communion.”

This crap comes to us from FAITHFUL AMERICA, a Soros-sponsored venture that operates from a post office box.

If you support the murder of babes in the womb, you are not a Christian but a Moloch worshiper.

The Lord condemned child sacrifice over and over throughout the Old Testament. The bishops are right on this one. Also ... has anyone ever heard of that allegedly Christian group?

In order to receive communion you need to repent of your sins. If Biden et al will confess that the killing of children in the womb is a sin and stop supporting abortion from that time forward he would be welcome to enter communion with Christ.

I had to turn off NewsMax today when Bob Sellers and the airhead hostess and panel thought it was more than acceptable to allow communion with the unrepentant.

I’m not even Catholic and I know that it multiplies the sin to be unrepentant and present yourself for the Eucharist.

If you don’t want to follow Catholic teaching don’t pretend you are Catholic, go join another church.

Consider the source. Born again Christians do not promote and defend abortion murder, and to urge Bishops to share communion to a dead soul abortion promoter like Obiden is ludicrous.

Well that should settle the matter for once and for all. I mean “Christians” should be the ones deciding the actions of Catholic bishops. If it’s one thing these Christians stand for that is making sure democracy in the Catholic Church is not threatened by restricting Communion rights.
