re: Mitch will skip Trump departure ceremony in favor of attending mass with Beijing Joe

I'm sure for optics purposes Biden's handlers found a priest who's a card carrying member of the DC Swamp.

But Biden has been denied communion before:

FLORENCE, South Carolina, October 29, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) ? A Catholic priest refused Holy Communion to Joe Biden, former U.S. Vice-President and current Democratic presidential candidate, because of his public support for abortion.

Biden, 76, was refused communion by Fr. Robert E. Morey at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Florence, South Carolina during Sunday morning Mass.

“Sadly, this past Sunday, I had to refuse Holy Communion to former Vice President Joe Biden,” the priest subsequently told the Florence Morning News.


“Holy Communion signifies we are one with God, each other and the Church,” he continued. “Our actions should reflect that.”

“Any public figure who advocates for abortion places himself or herself outside of Church teaching.”

Biden has at times claimed he is personally opposed to abortion. He has drifted farther and farther left on the issue over the years.

He once supported the Hyde Amendment banning federal funding for most abortions, but made headlines this June when he reversed his stance, saying that “circumstances have changed.”
