As supporters of legalized abortion, nominally Catholic politicians like Vice-President Joe Biden and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) are not supposed to receive Holy Communion at Mass. Enforcement, though, is on the “honor system.” Biden and Pelosi skirted this honor system and took Holy Communion at the Mass of Installation for Pope Francis in Rome.
Biden viewed it as a personal triumph. “Each time you receive Communion the slate is wiped clean,” Biden boasted. “So whatever sins you might’ve committed are absolved. It doesn’t matter whether the priest unknowingly gives it to you or overlooks your support for abortion rights in order to avoid making a scene. Either way, you’re home-free.”
Pelosi saw it as more of a political statement. “Each time a proponent of choice is accepted among the ranks of the faithful draws us closer to the day when a woman’s right to choose is finally incorporated into the Church’s theology,” Pelosi predicted. “After all, Jesus was a great champion of women’s rights against an ultra-patriarchal Jewish orthodoxy. What could be more important to a woman than full control over her own body?”

did she start to sizzle
A person takes personal responsibility when he/she takes communion in an unworthy manner and will ultimately face the consequences.
1 Corinthians 11:29-31
29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. 31 But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.
Pelosi “Each time a proponent of choice is accepted among the ranks of the faithful draws us closer to the day when a woman’s right to choose is finally incorporated into the Church’s theology,” Pelosi predicted. “After all, Jesus was a great champion of women’s rights against an ultra-patriarchal Jewish orthodoxy.

What part of THOU SHALL NOT KILL do YOU not understand CINO Nancy??
You really need to highlight the “Semi-News/Semi-Satire” part because something like this is entirely too believable.
Wow a lot of people are in for a rude awakening! Biden says the slate is wiped clean, we dont get forgiveness while we are still thumbing our nose at the Lord saying our sin is not sin!
Yes Christians can have struggles with sin and ask forgiveness, but there has to be atleast an attempt to try and not sin. In the case of abortion, he is asking forgiveness but then voting for it afterwards??
And every time a person votes Democrat they are saying that they are happy with Jesus/God being banned from classroom/public square etc
They might just as well eat drink and be merry, dont even bother going to Church or praying if that is your personal state, they are only wasting their time
And I never even mentioned homosexual marriage and telling children that is fine etc, dont get me started

Semmens, you little rascal :)
I blame the irresponsible clerics for permitting these anti-Christian lunatics to demean the Church by offering them Communion. The clergy has an obligation to deny Communion to anyone that they know is openly engaging in sin. The defiance of Pelosi and Biden is notorious and the clergy cannot claim ignorance of their defiance. The Church will not wake from its malaise until it starts to make the tough decisions that are necessary, without fear of whatever reprisals it may suffer from the media and liberal politicians.
Biden and Pelosi think they have get out of hell free cards.
How can Catholics that sanction the killing of unborn children be allowed to participate in Holy Communion?
and they were not struck down by a lightening bolt???
I know! I did for just a second. My first thought was that he sure wasn’t spouting Catholic theology of the Eucharist but by the second sentence I knew something was wrong and looked up and saw the satire thingy.
>The clergy has an obligation to deny Communion to anyone that they know is openly engaging in sin.<
.
The clergy get their marching orders from the US bishops.
Time for them to stand and deliver.
I blame the mimes. They won't talk.
