New Mexico bishop refuses Communion to lawmaker over abortion vote - Axios

Opinion | The Catholic Bishops’ anti-Biden project is backfiring - The Washington Post
…That this is even an issue shows how the viruses of the political right have infected the U.S. Church leadership. It stands almost alone in the Catholic world in its singular focus on abortion, as Jason Horowitz reported in the New York Times. He noted that in "much of Europe and Latin America, it is essentially unthinkable for bishops to deny communion to politicians who publicly support abortion rights."…
Opinion | The Bishops Are Wrong About Biden — and Abortion - The New York Times
…No one told "Matthew" or "Mark" or "Luke" or "John" or Paul, or any other New Testament author, that he should condemn this sin of all sins. Nor did any author of the Old Testament raise this alarm, with the result that we do not have Moses or Jesus on record as opposing abortion. Nor did any of the major definitive creeds…

Opinion | In trying to pressure Biden, the Catholic bishops forget the lessons of JFK - The Washington Post
…At a time when some equated Catholic teachings to socialism, the Massachusetts senator said: "I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish; where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source; where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials."…

Priest: The big question for Catholic bishops is not really about Joe Biden and Communion - CNN
…The almost hostile display of disunity among the bishops has been disheartening for many of the faithful. Where, they wonder, was the ire of some of these "pro-document" bishops with the flagrantly objectionable behavior of the former President, who openly opposed teachings of the Catholic Church on issues such as immigration, capital punishment, poverty, racism and climate change, and who was cruel toward the weak, the poor, people of color and people with disabilities? Where was their outrage when Trump attacked Pope Francis as being "disgraceful" and a "political pawn?"…

‘Unique problem’: Catholic bishops split over Biden’s support for abortion rights
…A scathing editorial in the National Catholic Reporter earlier this month said the "tragic reality" of proceeding with the proposal was that "it will seal the deal on the branding of Catholicism in the United States as a culture war project.
"This culture war … is not the church of mercy and encounter that Pope Francis is trying to offer the world. Nor does it resemble what the carpenter's son from Galilee preached and died for."

Op-Ed: In what moral universe does Biden require a Catholic task force when Trump got a free pass? | American People News
...News reports suggest that the bishops may want to deny Biden, a lifelong Catholic, access to the sacrament of Holy Communion, much the way that conservative bishops declared John Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004, unwelcome at the communion rail in their dioceses. Gomez has set up a task force to consider the matter. No one is yet calling this a threat of excommunication, but that effectively is what the bishops are considering...
