re: Vatican warns bishops not to deny communion to Biden, politicians over abortion

Francis is wrong. This is where he needs to take the cue from some of his more ancient predecessors. At the end of the day, he is a world leader, and being a world leader entails being political. You need to make an example of the most powerful man on earth (a lay Catholic) to show the rest of your flock that supporting sin will not be tolerated.

This is one of those times the Catholic Church can and should use the Eucharist as a political weapon. They're in the saving of souls business and if you deny communion to Biden and other Catholics on the Hill like Pelosi, maybe it will allow other wayward Catholics to examine their consciences on these particular issues.
