The Vatican cautioned American bishops against denying communion to politicians, including President Biden, over their support for abortion rights.

The New York Times reported Pope Francis has warned that communion can’t be used as a political weapon by Catholic bishops. Biden is the second Catholic president in U.S. history, following President John F. Kennedy.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) will convene their three-day June General Assembly starting on Wednesday and are expected to force debate and a vote on the issue of communion, despite the pope’s warning.

“The concern in the Vatican is not to use access to the Eucharist as a political weapon,” Antonio Spadaro, a Jesuit priest and ally of the pope, told the Times.

Earlier this month, the pope spoke about communion as “not the reward of saints, but the bread of sinners,” the Times also reported.

Biden’s support for abortion rights has often been in the spotlight since it’s at odds with some leaders of the Catholic Church. Biden has been open about his devotion to his Catholic faith and attends Mass most weekends.

So the church that once excommunicated someone for preventing a pregnancy now protects someone for ending a pregnancy.

Y'all tell me the Catholic church isn't evil

The insidious evil that is on full display with zero fricks given is mind blowing.

So the Vatican is saying to not deny communion to anyone then? Cuzzzzz if they don’t deny it for going against one their biggest beliefs then why deny it on any reason? Dumb.

What a joke the Catholic church has become under this marxist pope. Whatever happened to the sanctity of life and all that?!?! It's only going to make them think twice when the faithful stop giving hard-earned cash to support the inflated hierarchy and farce that pretends to be a Christian church.

Except Biden is completely unapologetic about the sin and even promotes it as a virtue.

Funny, the Bishops have control over their diocese when they do something the Vatican wants political cover for and then this when they don't.

It’s not political . It’s about what people believe in . Sounds like the pope is ok with killing innocent babies. Either we are all going to heaven or a lot of people are going to be disappointed in their after life location.

People like Joe Biden who are staunch Democrats but say that they personally oppose abortion put Christian churches in a very bad spot.

Do Christian Churches allow Democrats to be in the congregation? Or do they kick them out because they support the political party that endorses abortion?

I'm not aware of any Christian church that doesn't allow Democrats in the congregation.

Biden to the Pope: "I'm a Believer. I'm a Catholic. I am personally opposed to abortion." How is the Pope or any other Christian church leader supposed to answer that? by saying "Get out"? If so, then no Democrat should be in ANY Christian church congregation.

That's my opinion.

How many Hail Marys should he say then? Billions probably, but I’m not counting.

The Catholic Church, for decades, turns a blind eye to the rape of boys and only "addresses" it when it can no longer ignore it...but denying communion to someone who supports the murder of the unborn is forbidden.

Yeah -- as per usual, the Catholic Church is not on the side of those who need protecting the most.

Shocker.
