US Catholic bishops advance communion document, setting up potential rebuke of Biden - CNN
Catholics for Choice, a liberal Catholic group that advocates for abortion rights, said it was "profoundly saddened" by Friday's vote and condemned using the Eucharist "as a weapon of punishment.""In a country and church already riven with tension and division, today the bishops chose to be partisan instead of pastoral, cruel rather than Christ-like," the group said."They have chosen to disobey Jesus's command to 'feed one another,' but everyday U.S.
Catholics -- 67 percent of whom oppose withholding Communion and other Sacraments from supporters of abortion rights -- will continue to know better and do better."
Biden has for years been asked to square his devout Catholicism with his politics.The President has been a regular at Mass since childhood and attended Catholic schools.
