If you are in a state of mortal sin, you need the Sacrament of Confession for your sins to be forgiven before you present yourself to receive communion again. President Joe Biden claims to be a \u201cdevout\u201d Catholic, but that has not stopped him from being pro-choice, nor from openly defying Church teaching on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, he slammed Florida\u2019s new pro-life bill as \u201cdangerous\u201d because it limits abortion to 15-weeks. In response, a Virginia Catholic priest let the commander-in-chief know when he can attend confession at his parish.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/florida-passes-15-week-abortion-ban?al_applink_data=%7B%22target_url%22%3A%22https%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Fwww.dailywire.com%5C%2Fnews%5C%2Fflorida-passes-15-week-abortion-ban%3Futm_source%3Dfacebook%26utm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_campaign%3Ddwbrand%26fbclid%3DIwAR01KKu5aXuTfOhuh2-HqLz0fAR7s8zXVpx9c6iOfCB2koMFbvQq3wbnhFg%22%2C%22extras%22%3A%5B%5D%2C%22referer_app_link%22%3A%7B%22url%22%3A%22fb%3A%5C%2F%5C%2F%5C%2F%22%2C%22app_name%22%3A%22Facebook%22%7D%7D\">reported<\/a> that \u201clawmakers in Florida voted to prohibit most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy\u201d on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p>According to Politico, \u201cIt provides no exceptions for victims of rape, incest or human trafficking. Existing Florida law restricts abortions after 24 weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden condemned the bill via Twitter, stating, \u201cthe Republican-controlled Florida Legislature passed a dangerous bill that will severely restrict women\u2019s access to reproductive health care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy Administration will not stand for the continued erosion of women\u2019s constitutional rights,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>This marked the second time in one week that Biden defended the right to kill a baby in the womb.<\/p>\n<p>On Ash Wednesday, the president said he did not want to pass \u201cjudgement\u201d on other people, and that he didn\u2019t want to get into a \u201ctheological debate\u201d over abortion.<\/p>\n<p>That interaction can be seen here:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">REPORTER: &#8220;As a Catholic, why do you support abortion?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BIDEN: &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to get in a debate with you on theology, but you know\u2026I&#8217;m not going to make a judgement for other people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>REPORTER: &#8220;But you&#8217;re Catholic!&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KR7njW1cW9\">pic.twitter.com\/KR7njW1cW9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Townhall.com (@townhallcom) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/townhallcom\/status\/1499048338246746118?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 2, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But, as The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/on-ash-wednesday-catholic-president-joe-biden-defends-supporting-abortion\">noted<\/a> after that comment, there is not much of \u201ctheological debate\u201d to be had on abortion within the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n<p>Obtaining, providing, or supporting an abortion \u2014 thereby ending an innocent life \u2014 has always been a mortal sin. As a public figure openly supporting abortion, Biden is not just putting his own soul at risk, but is also committing a sin of scandal by leading other Catholics astray on this topic.<\/p>\n<p>Catholics believe each human being from the moment of conception until natural death has inherent dignity and is the made in the image of God, and therefore has the right to life. To go against this is to go against the Church.<\/p>\n<p>Catholic Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone \u2014 who serves the Diocese of San Francisco \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/2021\/09\/05\/our-duty-challenge-catholic-politicians-who-support-abortion-rights\/\">wrote last summer<\/a> that \u201cyou cannot be a good Catholic and support expanding a government-approved right to kill innocent human beings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cordileone added, \u201ceveryone who advocates for abortion, in public or private life, who funds it or who presents it as a legitimate choice, participates in a great moral evil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps understanding Biden was participating in a \u201cgreat moral evil\u201d and therefore sinning with his comments, Father Dan Beeman of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Newport News, Virginia, kindly let him know that he holds confessions \u201cat noon on Sunday, 5pm on Wednesday, and 3 on Saturday, Mr. President.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Confessions are at noon on Sunday, 5pm on Wednesday, and 3 on Saturday, Mr. President. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7lUg6U3f15\">https:\/\/t.co\/7lUg6U3f15<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Father Dan Beeman (@inthelineofmel) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/inthelineofmel\/status\/1500220181926273033?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 5, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On Saturday, Getty Images captured photos of Biden walking out of his hometown parish St. Joseph on the Brandywine in Greenville, Delaware, after the five o\u2019clock Mass.<\/p>\n<p>All are welcome in Mass regardless of if they are in a state of mortal sin, but those Catholics are asked to refrain from receiving Communion out of respect and love for the Body and Blood of Christ, as the Church believes is present in the Eucharist.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear if Biden made it to confession <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stjosephonthebrandywine.org\/\">during the 4:00 pm slot that the church<\/a> allots for the sacrament, but perhaps he can make a trip south to Newport News this week instead and visit Father Beeman.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
