President Joe Biden received Communion at St. Patrick's Church during last Saturday's Vigil Mass, a day after saying Pope Francis told him he should continue to partake the sacrament, prompting negative reactions from Catholic priests upset that the president's support of abortion is not in line with Church doctrine, the Yahoo News website reports today (November 1, 2021).
Several U.S. bishops expressed dismay about the pope's reported words to Biden.
Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas retweeted a blistering blog post by conservative Cardinal Raymond Burke that strongly reaffirmed that Catholic politicians who support abortion rights cannot receive the sacrament.
