dafuq? that's a no from me dawg. i'm not a globalist proponent, but us being forever separated is against everything in Acts.

This is a priest enforcing Church rules, which he has every right to do so.
What Church rule did Biden break that should prevent him from receiving communion?

don't be obtuse. the catholic church views abortion as a sin, and a politician advocating for abortion rights would be seen as defending sin.
there are a lot of complicated scenarios, but this ain't one.
it'd be different if Biden said he didn't think abortion was wrong, but he has said his politics override his faith on this matter.
Trump is a cheating, egotistical philanderer. I can't speak to the state of his soul, but if he is being faithful to his wife currently and has repented of his sins, he'd be welcome to communion in most churches. I disagree with him early and often, but several of his stances would be grey area.
Joe and Nancy have both said they are violating their own opinion of sin in light of political expediency.

Even though I think his reasoning is sound, I don’t think a priest should shame someone like that. If a person wants to live their life in sin and still receive communion, that’s between them and God and the priest should back off.
This is about as warped a view of the role of a priest as one can have.

Easy there. There is politics in the Church the same as society. I personally know priests who strongly prioritize the right to life over any of the SJW causes.

That pastor probably gives communion, knowingly or unknowingly, to folks who have broken every single one of the Ten Commandments
Probably , but that’s not really relevant nor does it demonstrate some hypocrisy

Many Dems and Trumpkins alike have a hard time grasping the fact that many who voted for him in 2016 believe him morally to be a disgusting piece of shite who'd never seen the inside of a Sunday School class. But they believe he's a disgusting POS who will appoint pro life justices to SCOTUS and protect religious liberty. I know many personally.
And if the scales at some point start to tip in the other direction, don't think for one minute that evangelicals wouldn't salivate at the idea of turning out to reelect a President Mike Pence.

This is the answer to the frequent questions about why I support who I support.

I believe that there are many people that feel that way, or voted for him because they felt he was the lesser of two evils.
Those are not the people I am referring to. I am referring to the people who would blast Biden as a heathen in this thread, but celebrate Trump as America’s savior and a man worthy of praise in other threads.
I don’t see how you can reconcile those notions.

Ignoring the obvious fact that he’s not Catholic, he couldn’t receive communion for a number if reasons. Being remarried is one, not being penitent is another. Reconciliation cannot occur without contrition, and he doesn’t see anything wrong with his prideful behavior, or his turning a blind eye to cry of the foreigner, or the injustice of the wage earner.
Not to mention, I believe that the official stance of the Catholic Church is that all abortion is a mortal sin, regardless of the reason. Trump supports abortion in the event of rape, incest, or danger to the mother. That would throw him in the same boat as Biden if someone is being a hard liner about it.

That only God should punish sinners.
I love it when people who think they know a little bit about the Bible try to weigh in on what God and or Christians should or shouldn't do when it comes to church practices. The New Testament clearly lays out the instructions for withdrawing fellowship from an unrepentant person...which Joe Biden clearly is. For you to call it "punishment" is laughable and shows nothing but ignorance on your part. Far from punishing Biden, the purpose of denying him communion is to get him to repent and to keep him from spending eternity in hell.

Actually, Scripture teaches that such a person most definitely should be shamed by the Church.
"Take special note of anyone who does not obey our instruction in this letter. Do not associate with them, in order that they may feel ashamed." (2 Thess. 3:16)

Cuz consensual extramarital sex is pretty much the same thing as legalizing child murder, right?

If he's repented of his sins and is faithful to his wife, then he would no longer be a cheating philanderer, would he?

FWIW, if there was an “American” denomination, it’d be hard to argue against the Anglican Episcopal church. it’s founding on the continent nearly mirrored the revolution
