Second Catholic US President in history
Catholic Bishops in the U.S. have voted to deny President Joe Biden from receiving communion.
One bishop said a response was needed to a Catholic president who he said advances “the most radical pro-abortion agenda in history.” Another warned that a document targeting Catholic politicians would lead to "the weaponization of the Eucharist.” https://t.co/q31ipX04CC

The Bishops voted in favour of drafting a document that would prevent Catholic politicians and public figures from receiving communion if they support abortion rights.
Joe Biden, only the second Catholic US President, John F. Kennedy being the first, stands to be banned if the document is approved in November.
President Biden responds to Catholic bishops potentially denying him communion for his support of abortion rights: "That's a private matter, and I don't think that's going to happen." https://t.co/R5ckSKMbkV pic.twitter.com/7gSpwhbYWs
