When U.S. Catholic bishops hold their next national meeting in June, they ll be deciding whether to send a tougher-than-ever message to President Joe Biden and other Catholic politicians: Don t receive Communion if you persist in public advocacy of abortion rights.
At issue is a document that will be prepared for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops by its Committee on Doctrine, with the aim of clarifying the church s stance on an issue that has repeatedly vexed the bishops in recent decades. It s taken on new urgency now, in the eyes of many bishops, because Biden, only the second Catholic president, is the first to hold that office while espousing clear-cut support for abortion rights.

Warrior Beach Week postponed to 2022
Operation Seas the Day announced that the 8th Warrior Beach Week will not be held in 2021. President Becky Johns said, “While this event continues to be important to Bethany Beach and surrounding areas, the impact of COVID-19 on the health and well-being of our guest families, volunteers and the community outweigh holding the 2021 event.”
Warrior Beach Week provides military veterans and their families a week of rest and relaxation in the Bethany Beach area to enjoy the sun, sand and community recognition. Tremendous support for this event has changed lives and made it highly desirable for veterans and their families. Recognizing that warriors and their families still need help, organizers suggest supporters may redirect this year’s contributions to veteran organizations and/or those continuing to be adversely affected by the pandemic.
