“Then why did Pelosi and Biden receive at the inaugural papal Mass yesterday?”
Because its not 1100 AD. Prudence dictates cooperation with the secular powers.

Yeah, "prudence" dictates that the majority of Catholics are Catholics in Name Only because they found it was prudent to accept the same Generic Christianity that's eroded the tens of thousands of denominational Churches into near dust. It's prudent to not have to bother with self control a few days a month. Prudent to pretend murdering infants in the womb isn't murder. Prudent to ignore all that stuff that's been around for several thousand years and embrace Self Alone. Get with it and follow the Church of Erich Fromm and to thine own self be true, not those silly old Apostles and Church Fathers.
That "prudence" garbage is working out really well if you think ignoring Church Teaching, Canon Law, and the sacred nature of the Eucharist is the goal. I'm sure the roughly one hundred and fifty million infants murdered by abortion and abortaficient contraceptives are cheering for "prudence" as we speak. They're not really asking how long it will be until they're avenged, that's just stuff from the bad old days when they thought the Bible was the revealed Word of God.
All that faith and standing up for Christ and the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church Jesus Christ Himself founded, guides, and promised to protect is just so, soooo, Tenth Century.

I’d take the time to disagree with you, but it isn’t actually relevant, here.
The article strongly suggests that Pope Francis will follow through on Pope Benedict XVI’s push to deny pro-abort politicians Holy Communion. Yet, at the very first papal Mass, two prominent pro-abort politicians (and as markomalley points out, probably a whole bunch more than two) were permitted to receive Holy Communion.
Thus, my question, “Then why did Pelosi and Biden receive at the inaugural papal Mass yesterday?” The article is stating that Pope Francis is going to take a tougher line on this, but the evidence so far suggests not.
To me, it looks more like, “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.”
