An 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.

Biden, the first Catholic U.S. president since John F. Kennedy, has said he personally opposes abortion but supports a woman's right to choose. He has vowed to protect abortion rights in the face of increasingly restrictive laws enacted by states. Last month, his administration called on the Supreme Court to block a Texas law that bans abortions after six weeks.

The conference has not made the draft document public. A version of the draft published by the Catholic newsletterdoes not mention Biden or any politician by name, but states that "people who exercise some form of public authority have a special responsibility to embody the church." It says Catholics who live in a state of "mortal sin" without repentance should not receive communion, but does not say who should sit in judgment.

Others have cautioned against weaponizing the Eucharist and withholding it as a means of punishing specific political stances.

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?

Yanks & religion!!!

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. journalist freed in Myanmar, says he was not beaten or starvedAmerican journalist Danny Fenster said he was healthy and happy to be going home after he was freed from prison in Myanmar and flew to Qatar on Monday, following negotiations between former U.S. diplomat Bill Richardson and the ruling military junta. Bill Richardson is such a G. They always send him in to get people out. In my head, I kept dreaming it went like this: Biden calls Myanmar: “if you do t free him, I will take your country out of the map”. And that was all. Bill Richardson is possibly America’s best living diplomat. He has mastered the art of talking to bad guys.
