>> Interesting but not surprising because, unlike the sacramental nature of Catholic and Orthodox communion, the communion ritual in Protestant churches is simply a remembrance ordinance. <<

I actually confronted a Baptist FReeper about the double standard here (people constantly sneering at "the Catholics" for allowing Joe Biden to routinely receive communion at various Catholic churches, but nobody giving a hoot at Kamala Harris calling herself a good Baptist and being welcomed with open arms at Baptist churches around the country).

His response that was that if Kamala Harris visited his particular Baptist church to attend Sunday services, they certainly would NOT invite her to partake "the Lord's Supper" with them, and would confront her about horrible record and pray for her soul. He also stated that he can't think of "a single pastor of an SBC affliated church that would invite her to join them in the Lord's Supper". He attributed the universally warm reception that Kamala Harris gets at other Baptist churches to the fact she most likely "cherry picks" black Baptist churches on the campaign trail for a photo-op, and he's most likely right. That would certainly explain why Kamala Harris can claim to be a good faithful Baptist Christian, and every "Baptist" church she's visited has given her a pat on the back for it.

Obviously, Joe Biden doesn't have the same luxury, which explains why he occasionally has gotten the cold shoulder when he was campaigning in South Carolina and other such places -- any Catholic parish he showed up at Sunday mass for would most likely be "very conservative" and react accordingly to Biden the faux Catholic.

The point is null though -- we all know Kamala Harris wouldn't be caught dead attending an SBC affliated Baptist Church, just like Joe Biden wouldn't be caught dead attending a SSPX affiliated Catholic church that does the Tridentine Mass on Sunday. He KNOWS he would get an extremely hostile reaction. He was refused communion at a Catholic parish once or twice on the campaign trail because he was backed into a corner and that was probably the ONLY Catholic church available in the area for his weekly "Sunday mass" photo op. The other 95% of the time, he picks a Catholic parish where he will get a warm reception.

So Biden perfers to hang out with Jesuit priests that preach "social justice", and is welcomed with open arms. Kamala Harris prefers to hang out at "historic black" Baptist churches that preach "social justice", where she is welcomed with open arms.

Are we seeing a pattern here?
