The US Bishops are slated to vote on creating a committee that would draft a document about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/247980\/eucharistic-coherence-and-the-usccb-spring-meeting-five-questions-you-need-answered\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><u>Eucharistic Coherence<\/u><\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vatican.va\/archive\/ccc_css\/archive\/catechism\/p3s2c2a5.htm\">abortion is a grave moral evil<\/a>\u00a0that cannot be approved or tolerated in any circumstance. In 2019, a Catholic priest in South Carolina\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/report-joe-biden-denied-holy-communion-at-catholic-church-over-abortion-support\">reportedly enforced<\/a>\u00a0the church\u2019s code of canon law by denying the then-former vice president the sacrament of Holy Communion because of his stance on abortion.<\/p>\n<div class=\"subscriber-only\" readability=\"49.912621359223\">\n<p>\u201cSadly, this past Sunday, I had to refuse Holy Communion to former Vice President Joe Biden,\u201d Father Robert E. Morey of Saint Anthony Catholic Church told reporters. \u201cHoly Communion signifies we are one with God, each other, and the Church. Our actions should reflect that. Any public figure who advocates for abortion places himself or herself outside of Church teaching.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicworldreport.com\/2021\/02\/13\/archbishop-naumann-president-biden-should-stop-defining-himself-as-a-devout-catholic\/\">Catholic World Report <\/a>in February, Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City, who also serves as chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops\u2019 (USCCB) Committee on Pro-Life Activities, said that Biden \u201cshould stop defining himself as a devout Catholic\u201d while acknowledging that his abortion views stand in direct opposition to the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Biden professes to be a devout Catholic, yet is 100% pro-choice on abortion. How do you think America\u2019s bishops ought to respond to this situation?\u201d CWR asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can tell you how\u00a0<i>this<\/i>\u00a0bishop is responding. The president should stop defining himself as a devout Catholic, and acknowledge that his view on abortion is contrary to Catholic moral teaching. It would be a more honest approach from him to say he disagreed with his Church on this important issue and that he was acting contrary to Church teaching,\u201d Naumann responded. \u201cWhen he says he is a devout Catholic, we bishops have the responsibility to correct him. Although people have given this president power and authority, he cannot define what it is to be a Catholic and what Catholic moral teaching is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat he is doing now is usurping the role of the bishops and confusing people,\u201d Naumann added. \u201cHe\u2019s declaring that he\u2019s Catholic, and is going to force people to support abortion through their tax dollars. The bishops need to correct him, as the president is acting contrary to the Catholic faith.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/archbishop-of-kansas-city-joe-biden-should-stop-defining-himself-as-a-devout-catholic\">Archbishop Of Kansas City: Joe Biden \u2018Should Stop Defining Himself As A Devout\u00a0Catholic\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/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.
