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.

I totally agree. They should have been excommunicated as they tried to receive communion. No two ways about it. To have not done that is disgusting.

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.

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Nobody seems to have the balls to stand up to these miserable miscreants.

Put some reality specs on those weary eyes. Yes, ideally, they would have been denied. And so would 90% of political envoys from EVERY country. They aren't prepared to do that in this context. Can't realistically happen. The instruction should go out to their home diocese to deny. If that doesn't happen, I will be just as disillusioned as you.

Sad but true.
