This is an example of how people lose sight of the big picture. Catholic bishops have threatened to deny President Biden Communion because he supports pro-abortion laws. First, Mr. Biden is on-record personally opposing abortion. Second, he has said all during his campaign and post-election that he will be the president for all Americans. Third, he took an oath of office that requires his defense of the US Constitution and all other duly enacted laws. (Taking that oath signifies honor and respect for his position—not like his predecessor.) Conclusion: Mr. Biden is properly executing the duties of his Job description when he allows abortion laws to function. He does not agree with those laws but his sworn duty is to uphold them.
Will the Catholic Church now propose that all Capital Punishment laws be repealed? What about divorce laws? Will the Catholic Church require the US President to change the laws of the land to conform to the teachings of the Catholic Church? What if the Pope-speaking in an Official manner– issues statements about homosexuality, transgender, immigration, international relations or some other matter? Will the Catholic bishops exert their will and try to force changes for the whole country? What’s next—renaming the Statue of Liberty to “Our Lady of the Harbor”?
This is lunacy and the Catholic Church should simply back off and let matters of state be decided by the will of the majority of voters under legally approved processes.
