We took communion anyway because we are a greater authority on Catholic doctrine than the Pope ... and as elected Democrats we can overrule him any time we want!

Being Catholic is rather convenient.
We can pretend to be experts so that our contrary words carry weight.
Plus, we get invited to Papal happenings when Obama doesn't feel like going.

In my eyes, there goes the credibility of the new pope. He could have given instructions not to give communion to those two brazen apostates. The Vatican blew a great opportunity.

” Pope Benedict XVI stressed throughout his pontificate and before it began that pro-abortion politicians should be denied Communion.”
Talk is cheap. They’ll be taking Holy Communion until they die, and then the church will bury them with full pomp. No wonder the church has lost the respect of so many Christians.

This reminds me of when there were two Roman Catholic Cardinals at the funeral of Ted Kennedy (D-Hell). Nauseating.

I can well imagine Pelosi and Biden grinding their teeth fuming for the ‘slight’.

Grrrr....moral conscience is just an annoyance to these political types.

He could have given instructions not to give communion to those two brazen apostates. These 'apostates' as you call them, are accountable to their bishop. I don't know if you watched the mass yesterday but the bishops were inside the basilica. Communion was distributed by hundreds of priests. The bishop would have sent word through intermediaries to Biden and Pelosi not to present themselves for communion unless they went to confession. The priests distributing communion come from all parts of the globe and do not have a checklist from the bishops of who has been to confession, when or a checklist of all the worldwide apostates who might just happen to present themselves at whatever station they were assigned. Ultimately, both Biden and Pelosi were informed. If they presented themselves for communion, then they did so in an unworthy manner and reap the consequence on themselves. [1 Cor. 11:27]
And while you are checking scripture, you may want to look up Matthew 7:1.

Don't usually comment on religion threads, but this is part of the trouble with the Catholic church.
I am a Catholic and this was wrong on the church's part.
There are absolutes and this was absolutely wrong.
Nuff said.

Pelosi should be excommunicated. During the Fluke fluke, she proclaimed publicly that the Pope is wrong.
No wafer for you!

"In my eyes, there goes the credibility of the new pope. He could have given instructions not to give communion to those two brazen apostates."Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Nobody seems to have the balls to stand up to these miserable miscreants.

Who is the stooge who gave them communion and why was he allowed to? Whoever it is should be fired.

They should have been refused anything the Church has to offer if there were any principles involved.

In terms of an individual claiming to be a believer but circumvent the doctrines (In this case proudly sticking thumbs up noses and telling the leadership that they are misguided through their actions), Matthew 18:15-17 counters one of the most misinterpreted verses in the Bible, Matthew 7:1.
Of course it's these two clown's Bishop that is responsible, but Matthew 18:15-17 and any other corresponding command will perpetually go unheeded.
With the threat of ending tax deductions that swirl loudly in the air over these weak Bishops that oversee the unrepentant and defiant earthly politicians, the faith fails to produce teeth which guides the common believers. No wonder a lot of Roman Catholics vote for modern day Democrats, they are apparently Church sanctioned and a-ok with the leadership. If not, they would be driven out, just like the Words of Jesus as well as other examples in the Letters command.
