“They share Roman Catholicism as a faith and California as their home base. Yet there’s a deep gulf between Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco and Bishop Robert McElroy of San Diego in the high-stakes debate over whether politicians who support abortion rights should be denied Communion.
Cordileone, who has long established himself as a forceful anti-abortion campaigner, recently has made clear his view that such political figures — whose ranks include President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — should not receive Communion because of their stance on the issue. The archbishop issued a pastoral letter on the topic May 1 and reinforced the message in an hourlong interview Friday with the Catholic television network EWTN.
”
The Bishops are once again having at when it come to deciding who can receive receive communion and who cannot. The viciously homophobic Bishop of San Francisco supports a full ban on Biden receiving Communion and probably supports excommunication. Other more realistic and humanitarian Bishops welcome President Biden with open arms to receive Communion. President Biden is a practicing Catholic and the Church should welcome a him and support his continued devout religiosity.
