I don’t think anyone suggested Pope Francis would whack Pelosi and Biden with his Crozier but that if they do present themselves for Communion that the be denied…unless and we can hope and pray that their hearts change between now and the 19th and this is stated publically and with remorse. Both Biden and Pelosi have caused scandal by promoting abortion, by claiming untruths regarding the Church’s position. I understand why, politically, they were selected but I am disappointed that they are representing this country’s Catholics.
I truly hope you don’t think that the Church should accommodate heresy in order to get the Kennedys’ money

More than thirty pieces of silver mind you but not on par with losing our collective soul. Aside from that Jack Kennedy is a far cry from the current crop who are fine with abortion, gay marriage, and other un-Catholic activities.
Obama IS at war with the Church, and that has been stated by our Bishops in their 100% opposition to the HHS Mandate and in Cardinal Timothy Dolan stating publically that Obama “misled” him regarding religious accommodation. I could spend the next 5000 words detailing his numerous attacks on religious liberty but that isn’t the thread. However anyone who thinks Obama wants the Church to operate in peace and non-interference has not been paying attention.
President Obama may be the President but he does not represent me in any way shape or form. I detest the man’s views and feel his agenda is quite destructive to our Church and our beloved country. I can’t help but feeling that he is delighted with the two “representatives” to Pope Francis Inaugural Mass because he knows the internal and external conflict it creates. I am praying for Biden and Pelosi’s conversion. I wish I could do more.
