is it something like a Jew that believes Jesus is the son of God?
If you want to talk about hypocrisy, maybe we should talk about what the adult candidates actually say for themselves, as opposed to a mistake a minor daughter made which is not hypocritical at all.
Great point.
According to the head of the church in Rome, anyone who is
pro-abortion and takes Catholic communion commits sacrilege.
Instead, they are commanded to reform their life, and come back later.
[But, we all know Joe Biden is a sleazy liar anyway]
I'm not a Roman Catholic, but Kudos to the church for standing
up to such blatant hypocrisy.

The Vatican (LifeNews.com) -- A leading Catholic official has said in a new interview with a Christian magazine that pro-abortion elected officials who are Catholics shouldn't receive communion.[/FONT]

In the new comments, Archbishop Raymond Burke, the prefect of the Apostolic Signature, said all Catholics -- but especially politicians -- should not receive communion.[/FONT]

Archbishop Burke also issued a challenge to ministers to make sure they are not providing the sacrament to pro-abortion lawmakers who have not repented from their position, which is at odds with the pro-life teachings of the Catholic Church.[/FONT]

Communion should be denied to pro-abortion politicians “until they have reformed their lives," he said, in the interview with Radici Christiane magazine.[/FONT]

“Receiving the Body and Blood of Christ unworthily is a sacrilege,” he warned. “If it is done deliberately in mortal sin it is a sacrilege.”

Archbishop Burke discussed “public officials who, with knowledge and consent, uphold actions that are against the Divine and Eternal moral law."[/FONT]

"For example, if they support abortion, which entails the taking of innocent and defenseless human lives. A person who commits sin in this way should be publicly admonished in such a way as to not receive Communion until he or she has reformed his life,” he told the publication.[/FONT]

Burke said not denying communion makes a bad witness to other Catholics and the public.[/FONT]

“If we have a public figure who is openly and deliberately upholding abortion rights and receiving the Eucharist, what will the average person think?" he explained. "He or she could come to believe that it up to a certain point it is okay to do away with an innocent life in the mother’s womb."[/FONT]
