US Bishops Approve Document on the Eucharist; Allow Pro-Choice Cath.Pols. Receive Communion

 With an overwhelming positive vote. the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops yesterday approved a much anticipated document on the Eucharist that -- to the disappointment of some and joy of others -- makes no reference to pro-choice Catholic politicians who receive Communion, the CRUX website reports today (November 18, 2021).


After a short public discussion -- that followed lengthy private talks -- 222 bishops voted in favor of the document, eight against, and three abstained. The voting was electronic and secret. 


The document is 30 pages long and is called "The Mystery of the Eucharist in the Life of the Church."
