President Biden on Friday downplayed the possibility of Catholic bishops potentially barring him from receiving communion over his support for abortion rights.
“That’s a private matter, and I don’t think that’s gonna happen,” Biden told reporters when asked about the debate within the Catholic church over the measure.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) earlier Friday voted to proceed with drafting a formal statement on the meaning of communion, which will include whether Biden and other politicians should be denied the rite based on their stance on abortion.
