From The Washington Times:
Joe Biden denied Communion over abortion views
A Catholic priest says he denied Holy Communion to former Vice President Joseph R. Biden at his parish in South Carolina on Sunday because of the Democratic presidential contender’s support for abortion.
The Rev. Robert E. Morey told the Florence Morning News on Monday that he had refused one of the Catholic Church’s sacraments to Mr. Biden.
“Sadly, this past Sunday, I had to refuse Holy Communion to former Vice President Joe Biden,” Father Morey, pastor at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Florence, told the Morning News via email. “Holy Communion signifies we are one with God, each other and the Church. Our actions should reflect that. Any public figure who advocates for abortion places himself or herself outside of Church teaching.”
I love it. A Priest with a moral backbone. This loss of fortitude is what caused me to go away from the Episcopal Church over the last 30 years or so (rather, I did not change, they did.) I would love to get back to the traditional Anglican service but do not see any parish around here.
