CNA Staff, Apr 29, 2021 / 13:58 pm (CNA).
Recent reports that the US Conference of Catholic Bishops may at their spring general assembly press pro-abortion Catholic politicians not to receive Communion are unfounded, and at best ignorant of ecclesial structure, a source close to the conference has told CNA.
A source close to the USCCB told CNA April 29 that they believe such reports from the AP and the Washington Post are either “just totally ignorant of the Church’s structure,” or meant “to pressure the bishops into silence” regarding the Equality Act.
The Equality Act would amend federal civil rights law and create protected classes for sexual orientation and gender identity, extending those protections to all areas where race is currently protected.

When an Episcopalian cleric–
cum-Dartmouth professor criticizes the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, it’s a safe bet our prelates have done something right. Indeed, such a man one Randall Balmer wrote an op-ed for the
Los Angeles Times titled, “In What Moral Universe Does Biden Require a Catholic Task Force when Trump Got a Free Pass?” No need to read the article; I’ve already won the bet!
Considering that the USCCB is always inclined to adopt policies that attract a broad consensus of support from its members, these developments show that the bishops are prepared to act in defense of the Church and of the rights of American Catholics.
