You cannot be Democrat and simultaneously be an authentic Catholic.
Joe Biden’s opinions are nowhere near “within the Catholic realm”
At least Biden was saying the truth here.
When did not killing unborn children become “conservative”?
Biden lies again ( mingled with parcels of truth). So, what’s new? The ultimate problem is the lies coming from Pope Bergolio.
The Pope has helped to further the spiritual demise of Joe Biden.
You can’t tell me that the Pope didn’t know Joe’s position on abortion.
St. John Vianney, the patron saint of priests, had some very interesting reflections on the matter. He listed five ill effects that go with “unworthy communion”.
First, it outrages God more than all other mortal sins. John Vianney believed that a man who takes “unworthy communion” attacks the person of Jesus Christ himself instead of scorning only his commandments, like other mortal sins (St. John Vianney, The Cure of Ars, Eucharistic Meditations, 2001).
Second, whoever communicates unworthily “crucifies Jesus Christ in his heart”. The saintly priest stressed that the death of Jesus in Calvary seemed to affect even the least sensible of creatures but by receiving communion unworthily, man shows insensitivity to Christ’s humiliation and insults Jesus further. He said, “My God, how can a Christian have the heart to go to the holy table with sin in his soul, there to put Jesus Christ to death”?
Third, “Unworthy Communion” is a more criminal profanation than that of the holy places. When one does something abominable inside that of a holy place, it is called “local sacrilege”, which is considered a grave sin. But John Vianney emphasized that it is more grievous to receive Holy Communion under sinful circumstances. The saint said, “That poor wretch unites the Holy of Holies to a prostitute soul, and sells him to iniquity. Yes, that poor wretch plunges his God into a raging hell. Is it possible to conceive anything more dreadful”?
Fourth, “Unworthy Communion” is in certain respects a greater crime than the deicide of the Jews. Quoting St. Paul, the pastor said, “St. Paul tells us that if the Jews had known Jesus Christ as the Savior, they would never have put him to suffering or death; but can you my friend, be ignorant of him whom you are going to receive”? He said further, “If you are guilty, unhappy man, do not draw near; or else tremble, lest the thunders of heaven be hurled upon your criminal head to punish you and cast your soul into hell.”
Fifth, “Unworthy Communion” imitates and renews the crime of Judas. According to this great saint, if Judas delivered Jesus to his enemies by a kiss of peace, an unworthy communicant carries his cruel duplicity by hiding or disguising some sins with a hypocritical reverence on his face and place himself among the faithful destined to eat this Bread.
St. John Vianney truly considered “unworthy communion” a great abomination against Jesus and a scandal in the faith. An unworthy communicant may appear to be pious to those who do not know him. But a “crime” may not ultimately be kept secret, especially since God sees beyond what man could not actually see.
Pope Francis is not a friend to Mr. Biden regardless what Mr. Biden thinks.
