Democrats Threaten Catholic Church

The Catholic Church is considering denying President Biden communion and in response, House Democrats are threatening to remove the church’s tax-exempt status.

According to The Daily Wire:

Rep. Jared Huffman (D-CA) accused the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) of politically weaponizing religion by voting to draft a document that could result in a rebuke of pro-abortion Catholic politicians and suggested punishing them by stripping the Catholic Church of its tax-exempt status.

“If they’re going to politically weaponize religion by ‘rebuking’ Democrats who support women’s reproductive choice, then a ‘rebuke’ of their tax-exempt status may be in order,” Huffman tweeted.

Huffman’s tweet was in response to a statement last week from 60 Catholic House Democrats warning the USCCB against what they described as “weaponizing” the Eucharist. The USCCB on Friday overwhelmingly voted in favor of drafting a document that could lead to a rebuke of publicly pro-abortion Catholic politicians such as President Joe Biden. The document, which will be made public at a later date, will advise bishops how to best to enforce the guidelines regarding the reception of Holy Communion.

According to the Code of Canon Law, those who are “obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion.”

House Democrats have said that conscience is greater than the church’s guidance.

I think the Democrats just need to back off but then most if them are too dumb to realize that out of 7.8 billion people in the world, over 3 billion are catholic!! Combine that with all the other Christian denominations, those are odds they cannot fight against!!

It seems Rep. Jared Huffman is weaponizing the government against anyone who disagrees with democrats. I’m not a Catholic but I believe they have the right to set the rules for their church. Freedom of religion is the first freedom we’re given. That’s not not freedom of the government to demand a church or religion bow to the government; but freedom of religion from government attempting to rule Biblical beliefs and play god.

Your percentage is low. You must be a Catholic yourself. Oops your percentage is directed at the number of regressive socialists. I was looking at how many preach, teach or practice God’s Word. Most them look first at the tradition of the Catholic Church, which this pope claims is greater than GOD’s WORD.

It won’t work. They are so ignorant, so stupid and that shows just how insane the Democrats are. The Bishops all answer ONLY to the Vatican and the Pope. The Jesuits own the Pope and the Vatican. Anyone that goes against the Church will end up dead because that is what the Jesuits do. I will happily sit back and wait for those Dem’s to die. Another example of idiots trying to take matters into their own corrupt hands. They just ordered their own murders.

My question is “Why is there so much discussion about denying the Eucharist to apostates ? ” Oh, that’s right, the Mass “take” may drop off, and they won’t be able to pay all of the settlements that the Gay Mafia, Catholic hierarchy, has promoted and caused.

Let’s be careful here. There are some great Catholics. Can we be selective and just get rid of the Vatican first. Then we can separate the good from the evil and help it flourish.

I’m surprised Pelosi or Biden would even think about walking into a church, Nothing but pure evil, you would think they would burst into flames. Neither are Catholic and the church should stand it’s ground against disgusting scum like them.

Once before I have said: he who takes communion falsely with an evil heart is in danger of its blessing shriveling him up. God is not mocked.

Let’s ask the Democratic Party why the sperm donors aren’t given the “choice” of eliminating/murdering unwanted babies and the human “incubators”/females housing said offspring?? If they press that females deserve choices after becoming pregnant, then let’s bestow “choices” on every participant EXCEPT THE INNOCENT BABY??? Actions have consequences! For even toddlers!!

If they are following Catholic Law, there should be no discussion. They should follow the Law. Biden is still taking communion? I think the answer is yes. Therefore the Council is not following Catholic Law and should quit taking Communion themselves.

Democrats are acting like push for abortion is Biden’s only sin. Biden is a crook and a pedophile. Accepting bribes from China and Ukraine and handling little children and plagiarizing are enough to ban the sacrament.
