US President Joe Biden said being denied holy communion by the Catholic church is 'not going to happen' AFP/Drew AngererWASHINGTON: US Roman Catholic bishops agreed on Friday to draft a statement on the meaning of holy communion which could potentially be used to deny the sacred rite to President Joe Biden because of his position on abortion.
It was approved by a vote of 168 for to 55 against with six abstentions and the statement will be discussed at their next meeting in November. At a press conference on Thursday, Bishop Kevin Rhoades of Fort Wayne-South Bend, Indiana, said the committee drafting the statement"will be looking at that whole issue of eucharistic consistency.""That is not the task of our committee, to look at individuals," Rhoades said.
The Catholic News Service reported in May that the Vatican had warned US bishops to proceed cautiously with policies designed"to address the situation of Catholics in public office who support legislation allowing abortion, euthanasia or other moral evils."

Biden tells Putin certain cyberattacks should be 'off-limits'GENEVA (Reuters) -U.S. President Joe Biden told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday that certain critical infrastructure should be 'off-limits' to cyberattacks, but analysts said his efforts were unlikely to be more successful than previous attempts to carve out safe zones online. Biden wasn't explicit about which areas he wanted out of bounds, but spoke of 16 kinds of infrastructure - an apparent reference to the 16 sectors designated as critical by the U.S. Homeland Security Department, including telecommunications, healthcare, food and energy. 'We agreed to task experts in both our countries to work on specific understandings about what is off-limits,' Biden said following a lakeside summit with Putin in Geneva.
