It nullifies the express first step in the process essentially taking the position it is superfluous.
The second is it should be his pastor. That nullified also.
I think you cannot think the two first steps are perfunctory and meaningless.

Certainly, the points are not meaningless. Nevertheless, as Ratzinger went on to admit (in n. 6 of those “general principles”), there may be times when those steps are impossible or are ineffective. In such cases, when the minister of Holy Communion is certain of a person’s public unworthiness to receive, he is obliged to refuse to administer the Sacrament.

My guess is he/she is Catholic pro-life, since they posted they’d play devil’s advocate right before they started going full pro abortion arguments
 
I have difficulties with the priority placed on blind obedience. I have theological concerns and historical ones. Like the scandal. I would have to see the subject matter first of course.
Humility is a given.
 
It is important to entertain ideas outside of one’s box. Engaging in deep thought is one of life’s greatest purposes…
 
A situation like this. With national media I an election race for president?
 
Yeah good point, I’ll use Family Planning in future. You’re right Birth Control is misleading there.
 
Again, that idea nullifies the pastoral meeting having meaning. Why would this pastor assume Biden has none?
 
I’m mainly referring to the hard left political wing of the Democratic party

We cannot assume the priest has never talked to Biden. He actually worked for DOE and EPA before he became a priest. We can’t know whether they know each other or not.
 
I applaud this priest for his courage in refusing to give Holy Communion to Biden. Until he repents of his pro-abortion views, he should not even approach for Holy Communion.

Nothing like that Rush of a feeling of being Worthy in God’s eyes in contrast to an unworthy.
