They scared, thats why many people leaving from Catholics

I'm a Catholic but I feel the church is becoming political

The document was meaningless either way. WashArchbishop and ArchCordileone were each free to do what they wanted.

Why is USCCB ignoring Catechism 2267 “the death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person” in their memo? You’re just playing politics with the host.

It also breaks an IRS rule for religious organizations exempted from taxation.

Apparently avoiding the political fallout for following the teachings of Catholicism following the teachings of Catholicism.

Historic Enablers of Sexual Abuse Debate Whether Joe Biden Can Get CommunionThe U.S. Roman Catholic Bishops will vote this week on whether President Biden, who supports abortion rights, can take Holy Communion. About being enablers not sure. What I know is scriptually they cannot decide who gets communion if indeed communion is Christ. Christ is beyond the Church's control. They cannot judge as they will be judged. Leave salvation/redemption to discretion of humans, they save Barabas Church can deny humans a substance, not body of Christ. When desciples took a child 4 a nuisance, Jesus 'let children come to me'. When they complained of 'others' healing in his name he didn't back them. Is it a substance/body of Christ? The later has no patent/copyright/deed There were never restrictions on communion. Those are human rules designed to support certain behaviours. That are considered acceptable to the institution. Christ instructed his followers to break bread & drink wine in memory of him.

U.S. bishops' advisory group says communion should not be partisanAn advisory group to U.S. bishops urged the Catholic leaders on Tuesday to avoid making communion 'a tool for division' as debate resurfaces in Catholic circles over whether President Joe Biden's support for abortion rights should disqualify him from receiving the sacrament. Yanks & religion!!! To all of you who have never sinned, SPEAK UP, to those of you that have, SHUT UP Okay, but onto the real question. If communion wine turns into the actual blood of Jesus, would it not be possible to draw some blood, get the DNA, and clone him?
