The debate over whether Democrats like President Biden who hold positions contrary to the Catholic Church should receive communion has ramped up in recent days and weeks. Democrat Rep. Ted Lieu has even challenged the Catholic Church to deny him communion over his pro-abortion stance. Earlier this week, Nancy Pelosi was asked in an unborn baby at 15 weeks is a human being, and the devout Catholic dodged the question.
As for President Biden, he’s got the media to help vouch for his religious principles:
The president is an observant Catholic — regularly attending mass, crossing himself and using rosary beads.
He’s also a liberal, and that’s stirring up the Catholic bishops fighting cultural battles within the church. https://t.co/RERwF1oVTF

The article begins by explaining how a young Joe Biden once considered entering the priesthood and goes from there. The Biden White House couldn’t have put it better themselves.

The same people who didn’t care about protecting & upholding the faith & religious practices of the Little Sisters of the Poor are now frontline warriors fighting to protect & uphold the faith & religious practices of Joe Biden. https://t.co/f6QvynzhTM

Who cares about those nuns! Make them hand out birth control pills!
Same people: How dare you infringe on Joe Biden’s religion. Give him his communion wafer!

Being observant doesn’t mean he is in a state of Grace … but none of you took any time to actually understand WHY the Bishops are looking to enforce limitations. You’re far too busy trying to make this political versus spiritual because you’re CLUELESS about Catholicism. https://t.co/boNsjiCzHp

“Clueless”? Well, we are talking about the mainstream media, so we’ll allow it!
The people who cheered the closing of churches and cancellation of Mass last year are now deeply concerned over Catholics’ access to the Sacraments. 🤔 https://t.co/Gs2M4n8T8i

The mainstream media continues to cover issues related to a belief held by 1.5 billion people as if it is a niche hobby of an uncontacted tribe. https://t.co/wNSCaKptt5

The President should not be dictating the practice of any church. It's up to him if he wishes to follow the teachings or leave the church. https://t.co/nfD8MxXT0Q

Biden believes in and supports late term abortion- he continues to choose politics over the church and life. https://t.co/6Fw0M3FhIJ

But he’ll occasionally “use his rosary beads” (as WaPo put it) so the media will consider that Catholic enough.
