President Joe Biden won’t be denied Communion, a church he frequents in Washington, D.C., announced Tuesday.
After controversy surrounding Biden’s support for access to abortion, which some say puts him at odds with the teachings of the Catholic Church, the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Washington’s Georgetown neighborhood released a statement saying it “will not deny the Eucharist to persons presenting themselves to receive it.”
“As Pope Francis recently reaffirmed, communion should be viewed ‘not as a prize for the perfect, but as a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak, ” the statement continued. “None of us, whether we stand in the pews or behind the altar, is worthy to receive it. The great gift of the Holy Eucharist is too sacred to be made a political issue.”

On Tuesday, President Biden’s Washington D.C.-based Catholic parish, Holy Trinity Catholic Church, wrote in a statement that they have no plans to deny any mass attendee the sacrament of Holy Communion.
“Holy Trinity Catholic Church will not deny the Eucharist to persons presenting themselves to receive it,” the statement reads.
Holy Trinity Catholic Church, located in Georgetown, was selected as Biden’s parish when he served as vice president during the Obama administration. He also attended his first mass as president at the parish in January.

If this were to manifest, politicians including President Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) could be refused the sac
U.S. Catholic bishops will not be putting forth a policy on withholding communion from pro-choice politicians.
The new signal from the bishops was announced after months of controversy in the Catholic church over President Biden s support for abortion and whether America s second Catholic president should be allowed to receive communion since his actions violate the pro-life, biblical teachings of the Catholic church.
After voting overwhelmingly to draft a document on the meaning of the Eucharist in the life of the church, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) put out a Q&A to explain the vote.
Though the final draft on communion is a ways off from publication, the USCCB stated that There will be no national policy on withholding Communion from politicians.
