Over 65 percent of Americans support Roe v WadeReligions (especially those that call themselves "Christian") are not social clubs. Social clubs let members decide policy. The policies of Christian organizations are decided by higher authorities. I am a born-again, Bible-believing Christian. I used to be a Catholic before I was saved. My "Higher authority" is the Bible. Catholic doctrine is of primary importance to the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church believes that abortion is wrong and so is homosexuality. Why is it so important to public figures like President Biden to participate in a religion that they don't agree with on such important issues? I know that Catholics want to be able to receive communion. As a former Catholic, I know that they believe in "Transubstantiation" (That the bread and the wine actually become the body and blood of Jesus). There are other faiths that share the belief in transubstantiation that might not be quite so judgmental of Biden. No doubt that Biden does not want to lose the Catholic vote. I think that the issue has come up because Joe Biden is so vocal about not only his Catholic faith but his belief in abortion and gay rights. It's an "In your face" to the Catholic Church.They should poll their flock about their beliefs. They will be denying communion to half of them, easily. Which would be great. The Catholic church needs to go away.US Catholic bishops may press Biden to stop taking Communion

Apparently the Catholic church is debating on whether to serve Biden communion due to his stance on abortion
Bishop John Stowe of Lexington, Kentucky, is among those who worry the USCCB’s emphasis on abortion undercuts Pope Francis’ exhortations also to stress issues such as climate change, immigration and inequality. Stowe also worries that the U.S. bishops are missing a chance to find common ground with Biden.
“If a politician is targeted as a negative example by his own church, that sets a sad context in which the church can deal with this Catholic president,” Stowe said. “It contributes to the polarization of the church and of society.”
Nonetheless, the bishops wanting to send a tough message to Biden are determined to press ahead.
This tells me that either the church does not believe it to be mass genocide like their official teaching says it is, that is, comparable to the Holocaust, or they have no conscience.
It's either or really.
Even the pope has softened on homosexuality
