Kudos to the priest for having some convictions!

quote:

FLORENCE, S.C. (WPDE) — The pastor and priest of St. Anthony Catholic Church in Florence refused to give communion this past Sunday to Former Vice President and Presidential Hopeful Joe Biden.

Biden attended the church's early services during his campaign stop in the Pee Dee.

The church's pastor, Rev. Robert E. Morey, released the following statement on the matter:

"Sadly, this past Sunday, I had to refuse Holy Communion to Former Vice President Joe Biden. Holy Communion signifies we are one with God, each other and the Church. Our actions should reflect that. Any public figure who advocates for abortion places himself or herself outside of Church teaching. As a priest, it is my responsibility to minister to those souls entrusted to my care, and I must do so even in the most difficult situations. I will keep Mr. Biden in my prayers."

The Biden campaign declined to comment, citing the incident as a private matter.

The Catholic Church should be ashamed it has remained silent about this because they are all for the pro-illegal and wealth redistribution policies of the Dems.

I’ve said many times with strong conviction, if you’re a devout Christian following Christ you can’t be affiliated with the Dim party and you certainly can’t vote for Dim politicians. The Dim abortion stance precludes any Christian from being a Dim.

Was he in line with his hands cupped when he got rejected? Did the priest just give him the blessing they give to those who haven't made their first communion yet?

It’s the only option. Otherwise they’ll end up like the Episcopal church.

When one helps another receive an abortion, then that person automatically excommunicates themselves from the Holy Roman Catholic Church.
All politicians who vote for laws protecting abortion are helping people have abortions.
Those who perform abortions or have them are also automatically excommunicated.
To be received back into the Church one must meet with their bishop. Until this happens the person(s) are not allowed to receive the Sacraments of the Holy Roman Catholic Church since they removed themselves from the Church by their horrendous actions.
God is waiting for Biden, Pelosi, Sotomayer, and the whole lot of pro-abortion anti-catholics who still claim to be catholic, to turn from their evil ways and intentions.
Jesus said,"Love your neighbor as yourself." We are called to love AL babies, esp. those living within their mother's womb. To give Communion to Biden is to NOT love one's neighbor. It would be a sacrilegious act.
If one does not want a baby, then don't engage in an act in which a baby can be created. A person is created at conception, and is not through being created until death.
Each human is still being created. The human goes through different stages of creation: Conception, heart beat, fingers/toes, is born(takes first breath), crawls, starts to get teeth, wobbles, walks, is a toddler, a kid, a tween, a teen, a young adult, an adult, a parent (if blessed in such a way), a grandparent (if blessed in such a way), gray hair (if still has hair), wobbles, eats soft food, takes one's last breath.

Not true. Only people who have cried out to the Lord for salvation, accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior see the glory of Heaven. If you accept Christ as the Guiding Light of your life you’re going to desire repentance and sanctification.....there’s nothing in the Dim progressive ideology that would allow a Christian to tolerate that twisted ideology let alone embrace it.
