US Catholic bishops approve drafting Communion document amid heated debate about pro-choice pols like Biden
Fox News
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) voted overwhelmingly to draft a formal document on the meaning of Communion after a contentious debate on whether President Biden and other politicians who support abortion policies are worthy of receiving the Eucharist at Mass.
The vote tally announced Friday was 168 bishops in favor, 55 opposed and six bishops abstaining. Up next, at least two-thirds of the bishops would have to vote to adopt the new language at their next gathering slated for November. The decision on whether Biden should be allowed to receive Communion would still be left up to individual bishops, as is standard for all churchgoers, but a new document would inform those individual bishop decisions.More Related News
