Catholic priest says he denied Joe Biden Holy Communion at Mass in South Carolina because of abortion viewsFormer Vice President Joe Biden was denied Holy Communion at a Catholic church in South Carolina on Sunday morning because of his views on abortion, a priest said in a statement.
Morey added that as"a priest, it is my responsibility to minister to those souls entrusted to my care, and I must do so even in the most difficult situations. I will keep Mr. Biden in my prayers." At Catholic Masses, Communion is when congregants eat bread and drink wine, which Catholics believe become the body and blood of Jesus Christ.The Catholic Church has debated giving Communion to politicians who support abortion rights for decades, and some church leaders have argued that such lawmakers should be excommunicated entirely.
Biden's stance on abortion has shifted over time. In 1974, during his first term in the Senate, Biden said the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision"went too far" and he didn't"think that a woman has the sole right to say what should happen to her body."
