Please Catholic priest was right to refuse communion to Joe Biden Catholic priest was right to refuse communion to Joe Biden | Friday, November 01, 2019 Democratic presidential candidate, former vice President Joe Biden addresses a crowd at Wilson High School on October 26, 2019, in Florence, South Carolina. | Sean Rayford/Getty Images I am not Roman Catholic, but from my perspective as a Protestant believer, Father Ryan Hilderbrand of Huntingburg, Indiana, was absolutely right in refusing to allow former Vice President Joe Biden communion this past Sunday. Communion is not for those in outright, public disobedience to the Lord’s commands.
