Cdl. Burke talks about why Joe Biden being allowed to receive communion undercuts the work of the Eucharistic Congress. Matt Fradd asks how the laity can be expected to take the Eucharist seriously if the Episcopacy doesn't seem to be practicing what they preach.

Fr. Robert Morey, in South Carolina, refused Joe Biden Holy Communion.
Great Priest
When was Biden in Columbia?
@@Dupstan It was when Biden visited Florence and Fr. Morey was at St. Anthony of Padua Church.
@@JamesSmith-ge2sg oh ok. I say Columbia because i know he does the Latin Mass at the Our Lady of Lake and Ive been many times. It was a surprise seeing his name appear as a comment and learning that he denied Biden communion! The parish i grew up has had biden attend many times but unfortunately they dont deny him communion
Thank you Father Morey for standing up for the Real Presence of Jesus and refusing Eucharist to an unrepentant public sinner.
If we're calling out fake catholic politicians can't forget Nancy.
Those 2 have stood on catholic faith with no practice of teaching long enough!
I better get to confession asap. 5yrs is too long for me.
Go today!
Returning to confession after 7 years is one of the highlights of my life. God bless you!
don’t be afraid! The priests in my experience are always kind and understanding. Do a sincere and humble examination of your conscience beforehand so that you don’t have to struggle to remember in the confessional. The feeling after a good confession is so euphoric in a good way, the feeling of that weight being taken off your shoulders is like nothing else.
Do it. You’ll be so glad! ❤
Catholic's are required to go to confession at least once a year during Easter season, yet this sacrament provides the grace we need to remain close to Jesus. Go to confession often, and become all God wants you to be, may God bless you all
he profanes the eucharist when he takes communion. Priests who knowingly help him profane the eucharist are endangering themselves.
How many Catholics take communion without confession, don’t live according to the Gospel? Too many.
@@InExcelsisDeo24 Yes, but only a few inherently oppose the church and the teachings of Christ in the public light like certain politicians do. There is no way for a priests to know the inner thoughts and sins of those he dispenses communion to, but those who are publicly unrepentant sinners should be denied.
So, give Hitler communion when he persists in his public sin?
@@ulfskinn1458 It's one thing to be unrepentant. It's another to publicly rebel.
@@user-io9ie5cs8j "Rebel" is the word I was looking for. Everyone is a sinner, but those actively working against the church must be regarded as what they are; enemies of Christ. Too may decaffeinated Catholics today conflate forgiveness with tolerance of sin. We are called to forgive repentant sinners, but we must never tolerate the sin.
Cardinal Burke is a true shepherd.
God bless the Holy Catholic Church!🙏
God bless the United States of America!🙏
God bless Cardinal Burke!🙏

Biden has condemned himself. Good Cardinals and Bishops need to reprimand priests who aren’t following God and his teachings through the church. Do this publicly so faithful Catholics can see the truth.
“As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear.”
1 Timothy 5:20
Denying a sinner communion is totally wrong. If communion brings us closer to Christ and decreases our hunger for sin, then why deny a sinner the chance for Chist's body to convert him?
@@kingsleynwofe1244 You are missing the point. No one wants to deny sinners the opportunity to receive communion. What we want is to deny unrepentant sinners communion because they would be eating and drinking their own condemnation. This argument you have devalues every other sacrament. If I can take holy communion no matter what then there is zero reason to be baptized, to confess, to marry, or to even be confirmed. Heck, why even be a catholic? There are standards and we have to follow and respect them. If you want to receive communion you must prepare yourself for it, that means being in the right state of mind, body, and soul.
Biden reaches millions, and when he pubicly trumpets perversion and abortion, he mocks God for all to see.
Biden is the best president for Americans. He's helped 30 million hard working new comers enter the USA, many of them are Catholics. I am proud of all the Spanish Mass services in our city.

Hallelujah!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🙌.l was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery. Now, I'm no longer in debt after I invested $30,000 and got my payout of $170,500. God bless Deborah Lee Clark.
I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice I've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.
What opportunities are there in the market, and how do I profit from it?
You can make a lot of money from the
market regardless of whether it strengthens or crashes. The key is to be well positioned.
I would really like to know how this actually works.
All you need is a good capital and the
service of a professional broker, with those your investment will most certainly produce high yields.
I think it’s funny I got an ad of Joe Biden asking me to donate immediately prior to this video
Same
Is there a way to send a negative money donation lol?
This cardinal made me cry. I am incredibly proud, to be a catholic after what he said.
Bravo -- yes Biden should be denied communion.
The world needs our Church leaders to speak out with this level of love and conviction. Praise be to God for bestowing the gift of courage to Cardinal Burke.
Cardinal Burke is the only person in the world I would love to meet. It’s never going to happen though as I’m 75 and not mobile any more, plus I live in Scotland. I pray for him every day and am saying his novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe. I also prayed when he was ill with Covid and am so glad he made it through. God is Good and He knows how much good this wonderful Cardinal is for the Church. 🙏🏻🏴
@@katperson7332 Contact him directly (email) which is probably through his staff. Ask for him to see you. At the very least you'll get a personal letter
Maybe a call or vid conference.
@@user-io9ie5cs8jthat’s a really lovely suggestion! I’m not very good at propelling myself forward though, especially towards such an eminent (and no doubt very busy) figure. I’m quite shy really. Cardinal Burke has visited my town in the past here in Glasgow at least once or twice but I didn’t know about it then. As far as I know he said Latin Mass in a parish which has now had it taken from them and the congregation were devastated. I did email his office at that time regarding the Mass, to inform him about it, and I try to contribute a bit to the upkeep of his Our Lady of Guadalupe shrine in Wisconsin. Even if I can never visit the shrine, I would hate for it to not be available for others. Thanks for your kind reply! Regards from Glasgow, Scotland.
I’m an Orthodox Christian, and have nothing but humble respect for the Cardinal.
Very well said Cardinal Burke 🙏
When I am guilty of a mortal sin, I simply go to confession first. Then I am clean and can go to holy Mass.
But you have to stop doing that sin.
. He said when. He didn't say it was continuing
Go to Mass regardless of whether you're in a state of grace. However, refrain from receiving the Eucharist if you're in a state of mortal sin.
@@LauraBeeDannon Good luck with that, not even Paul could stop sinning (read Romans 7:19-25)
While in our fleshly bodies, we will continue to sin - the problem comes in when we don't care about our sin & when don't feel any conviction from the Holy Spirit - which isn't going to happen if we're truly saved & trust in fully in Christ & His _finished_ work on the cross.
You can and should always go to Holy Mass, even if you are in the state of mortal sin. However, you MAY NOT receive the Eucharist. St Paul is very clear about this in 1 Corinthians 11:29 “For whoever eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks a sentence against himself….” Going to Holy Mass will give you the strength to go to Confession as soon as possible; then you may joyfully receive our Lord!
I grew up southern Baptist, and converted 7 years ago. The Baptist group my dad grew up in, had strict rules for the Lord's Supper, because they took Christ at his word regarding "this is my body. " If you weren't a member if that church, you wouldn't be there when they held the communion. If the pastor knew you had a grudge with someone, he would deny you. If you were in any way not ready, you would be denied.
Why is it, an extinct group of baptists take their communion more seriously than Christ's church?
You have holy Catholic Church. You have 48,000 protestant CULTS. And you have the Baptist CULT.
Sounds entirely unique, I have been to dozens of Baptist churches. None had any respect for communion
@@AyatollahS.A.Khamenei well he said it's an extinct group of baptists.
There is no Eucharist in the Baptist church. No Priest = no Eucharist.
Every born again Christian is a priest. @@ScreamingReel500
BLESS YOU CARDINAL BURKE 🙏🕊
God Bless Cardinal Burke! His Eminence is 100% right and he isn't saying anything that would or should shock any Roman Catholic!
Vivat Jesus!
So refreshing to hear a cardinal say all of these things. Praise God we need more of this!
isn’t it sad that Francis went after Cardinal Burke?
He’s a cardinal
@@livinginthelight333 isn't a cardinal still a bishop???
@@NateBeard if he’s in charge of a diocese
He will not bring up how much money the Church receives via NGO's through Catholic Charities to move illegal immigrants into the U.S. The church will not touch this president as long as the Federal Government gives them billions.
5:00 It also causes grave scandal, misunderstanding, and further disunity between us and our non-Catholic brethren. They see public Catholics holding these ungodly views, while loudly proclaiming how “devout” they are, go uncensured by their Bishops. It’s a black eye on the entire Church.
Cardinal Burke 2024
St Paul advised us we would bring judgment on ourselves taking communion unworthily. It’s a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God !!
Elephant 🐘 In the Room:
We don’t act like it’s the body and blood of Christ, so why would we expect people to believe?
Start acting like you are receiving Christ. Go down on your knees. It spreads.
@@davidmoser9934 🙏 amen and on the tongue. But we have to acknowledge the reality that the NO was designed to communicate something different than the TLM. So called liberal Catholics admit as much. The fruit of the liturgical changes speak to the matter objectively.
If you have an 🐘 Elephant 🐘 in the room, you probably are in a Hindu Temple... 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳
How can the anointed hands of a priest or bishop minister the precious Body and Blood of Jesus to anyone actively promoting the murder of the Unborn and sex change to anyone young or old. May God have mercy on us.
I find I can stay away from what is sinful longer as I get older. I still get temptations however it is gods grace that gets stronger in me. I find peace more often.
having less testosterone due to aging might help
@mateusaviani2442 I know quite a few "older" people I work with who live quite sinful lives. It's all part of the equation but the longer you know Christ the stronger you should become
I have around that as I age, and pray the Rosary more consistently, I can stay away from sin due to grace.
If you are married it's easy, but if you aren't then everything sexual is a sin. Meanwhile the married folks are having a pint of two of some fine ale, overeating , and using birth control, which is not considered a sin; but heaven forbid the single man touch his or her organ. Let's use reason; drinking is worse than touching yourself. Masturbation should not be considered a sin..
@@Frank020 you have been deceived on many accounts
Biden condemns himself.
Everyone is praying for National Eucharistic Revival, thus many are coming to the Eucharist! Praise God.
God bless Cardinal Burke, Bishop Cordileone, and the other men who are standing up for the Eucharist.
Whether he is Catholic or not is irrelevant. He is a child of God who has lost his way, and if he does not repent on his views on abortion, is destined for hell - God forbid. This soul needs our prayers, (as do many others that hold similar views). it is our Christian duty to pray for him.
I’m trying to figure out why Pope Francis doesn’t deny Biden communion. Pope Francis clearly is against abortion. I am not one of the people who are attacking him, but I’m just trying to understand him
We get the leaders we deserve. Look beyond the surface level. There are a multitude of grave sinners approaching to receive Holy Communion, and for many years I was one myself. In my case as well as many, it's ignorance. We need to preach the truth without fear. Let these people know that this is not okay.
The restoration of the longer fast before receiving our Lord is a great idea Cardinal Burke; however, who is going to teach this and demand it be followed? As a cradle Catholic, I can say anecdotally that formation was extremely weak in the 1960s and 1970s, so many of those I know do not understand the fast or other elements of the Church.
His Eminence is talking like a true believer.
No wonder many lukewarm or self-proclaimed Catholics are afraid of him.
The lack of belief in the real presence of the Eucharist is a problem created by the clergy but somehow the laity are the ones being blamed.
Bring back altar rails, ad orientem, communion on the tongue, more confession opportunities, tabernacles in the center of the altar etc. and see how people's dispositions change.
You can and should always go to Holy Mass, even if you are in the state of mortal sin. However, you MAY NOT receive the Eucharist. St Paul is very clear about this in 1 Corinthians 11:29 “For whoever eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks a sentence against himself….” Going to Holy Mass will give you the strength to go to Confession as soon as possible; then you may joyfully receive our Lord!
I feel part of our problem is we have not taught the faith well to the laity. I know I was guilty, but i Now try to go to reconciliation aka confession once or twice a month, and actively use the sacraments to help my soul
@@steveisaak4320 A good plan, Steve!
Paul doesn't say you're not allowed. He simply says that doing so is really bad for you. When a priest discerns it's right for him to refuse you is a prudence issue for the church and priest. Biden should be refused out of love for him and according to church teaching.
We need our bishops to pull their heads out of the sand and to take a stand for Christ. In the classroom, one of the things I teach the students is life is full of choices and choices have consequences. For far too long, they have let the political class, the modernist “catholic” and the enemies of the faith force the church into silence. We may very well lose our tax exempt status (I doubt it because of how much we do to feed, clothe and care for all and this will backfire on this class). The time to stand is now.
The church has, till now, failed in teaching the faith to the flock and look at the results. Christ’s Sacred Heart, coupled with the Immaculate Heart of Mary, will provide. It is time to rally the faithful and with God’s almighty grace people will return to the faith of Christ and His Church. We may also need to reform the Norvus Ordo Mass, apparently we have not been told the entire truth. In watching Pints with Aquinas there apparently is a Missal that presents a form of the Norvus Ordo that is far more inline with the faith. Just my two cents. God’s speed to all
It's probably the most prudent and pastoral thing to do. As he may have lost understanding of contrition theough confession.
Pray for him,I'm a sinner,if he DIDNT go to CONFESSION and Not just get ABSOLUTION, but denounce and STOP his SINS...pray for him and his wife..Pray for me Also!!!
Thank you for holding fast.
Thank you so much WE need BP like YOU 🙏🙏♥️♥️
Amen
Perhaps I may be wrong. Withholding Holy Communion should not be an instrument for punishing people.
Matthew 18:15-17
"If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
Doesn't confession make us clean for communion?
As long as you confess in good faith and have a firm resolve to avoid sin.
Yes, and you then have a responsibility to not repeat your mistakes. Biden has continued to support his usual policies so even if he’s been going to confession there’s still a problem.
The dems are running on snuffing the unborn. They believe it’s a winning strategy.
@@imsometaeventhisacronym2545given his public office and the public nature of his sin, he would actually be required to publicly renounce what he has already said.
I don't think Biden confesses the sin of supporting abortion with the intention to change
What about the "catholic" church in Hoboken NJ that is hosting gay pride mass? How is this permissible?
In London a church held "gay masses" every fortnight for 6 years before the Church finally put a stop to it. These weren't even masses for Catholics with same sex attraction trying to live chaste but many were proudly in relationships, saying they were doing no wrong. Rainbow flags draped everywhere.
6 years before they were forced to shut it down. The church moves slowly indeed. What damage was done in those 6 years?
We need an inquisition now more than ever.
@littleboots9800 I'm not even catholic but the diocese need to get control of their parishes.
It's not...they are fake.
@TrinityUne-z5o so the church I'm talking isn't part of the roman catholic church?
Thank you.
Just curious, but any particular reason you always say “Thank you.”?
“Progressive” Christianity is something that must be stamped out. One thing that really solidifies me as a Catholic is, while there are issues of it within the Church, many of the Protestant denominations are completely overrun, and without a central authority it seems it will continue spreading.
He’s certainly damned his election chances in that debate. Pray he has time to reflect and repent out of office, as I don’t think he’s got long.
Reflect on what exactly? He has dementia and he is no longer a rational human being. He deserves dignity in his old age and it is truly demonic to force him into being a president by his close ones.
I have learned to hate the sin of sacrilege so much more than stupid sins of the flesh. Biden's mind is too far gone for him to repent. Pray for Divine Mercy. Pray to Divine Mercy. We all need Him to be merciful.
The pre-council liturgical calendar observed many more days of fasting and abstinence than the current one. Who thought it was a good idea to have fewer days of penance ?
The 60s were a time of “brilliant” ideas. One of them being “maybe people will be more interested in Catholicism if we make the religion less demanding”
Less demanding...they had more days off work to pray with their families.
@@TrinityUne-z5o
Possibly - But why did they have more time family ?
Simpler lifestyle . Only needed one paycheck. A family owned one car, lived in smaller homes. No cellphone or cable tv bills. But the families were much larger.
@@WT-Sherman Both men and women paying taxes is better for the economy bad for the family ...now that's not good enough so they are now importing people from 3rd world countries.
We need to stand together on this regardless of the loved ones we have who oppose it. We can still love and pray for those who think abortion and or gay marriage is right, but still oppose it.
Could not agree more.
People have a lot to answer for if they don't repent, which is easier said than done. They know the law but don't live by them. It always requires extreme measures, radical changes. Not just cafe Catholics (Democrats Catholics), How Donald Trump follows the law if he doesn't separate from his current wife (she is also Catholic)? It is a mess. Pray for them.
AMEN
Pray he repents before he loses what little sense remains. Frankly speaking, his wife seems to me a sadist.
Our current Pope gave the eucharist to Nancy Pelosi… it’s not just the priests and the bishops…
I think he should be more worried about receiving extreme unction at this point.
I would say that a lot of California Catholics are okay with abortion, divorce, anti-scientific transgenderism, and other things (while agreeing with Joe Biden)... and also that I disagree with a lot of California Catholics.
Can the good Cardinal do anything to encourage Cardinal Gregory to take action? Biden has been a public advocate of abortion for decades, and his position has only gotten worse. “How long, O Lord?”
Biden is like a robot 😂 he should even be excommunicated
Its hard to take the Church seriously when they dont enforce the gospel that they preach. Its very disappointing
bible says examine yourself not examine others
I think we should do the same with Francis until he comes back to the faith
Be careful

Does he condemn Vigano now? Has he read the McCarrick Report?
YEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!
Pray for President Joe Biden
if you are kind to the cruel, you will eventually be cruel to the kind.
When I saw Biden speak, I have to say he reminded me of many older folk..
The 'stare' I recall with oncoming Parkinsons, and God knows I cant say for sure, but I think perhaps folk are puttung far too much weight on a guy who did his job, love or absolutely hate him.
Mostly, if there is even a seed of good will - mind him, and God knows everybody and their Granny is judging him like they wear the judge pants.
Take care of Biden & Trump America....you are still absolutely the land of freedom.
It's about time someone in Authority speaks out. But who is actually going to deny the Eucharist to Brandon ???
Everyone is a sinner. It’s pitiful for one sinner to judge another sinner that his/her own sins are less sinful. God is the only judge who has the sole authority to judge his own creations. Do not deny anyone’s access to God’s grace. If they are truly pure evil, they would not even go to church.
That’s a terrible take.
The Lord is the ultimate Judge, He gets the final say. But He also gave us faculties to think, to pick and choose, and the chance to judge wrongly or rightly.
Get right with the Lord. If you’re catholic, it is worrisome that you think that is right. It’s a shame.
@@laraluna9365 God doesn’t block people from exercising their free wills. Do you think that you are above God?
@@anthony1776diaz If you notice or even pay some attention, God does NOT prevent any of his creations from exercising their free wills. Why? Who do you think you are and what makes you think you are above anyone else to be able to judge others? I am talking about God’s commandments, not about earthly laws, ok?
Stealing this for my bloodborne meme thank you sir
I just feel the pope doesn't have your back. He's always been against refusing holy communion to anyone it seems and when it comes to confession, he also says absolution should never be refused which implies a person doesn't have to be sorrowful, doesn't have to be sincere, and doesn't have to promise to do penance. The foundation is sand on all these issues until there is clearer guidance from the top.
I often wonder if there is an argument to be had about mental capacity for mortal sin, are we willing to deny a man communion when his mental faculties are clearly not there? I’m not saying I support Biden in anyway but I pray we aren’t jumping to judgement because of our biases. I pray for Biden to come to the lord and turn away from wickedness, and for all that support him. God Bless everyone
If he's mentally capable of being president he's clearly mentally capable of being held to the standards being discussed. Besides, it's not just Biden, it's a bigger issue than one man.
I too wonder these fine points! Perhaps because both parents had dementia. I wonder how God looks at this issue?
He is literally the Commander in Chief of the United States military, not a child. He knows right from wrong.
Why hold it in USA ? Hold it in Mexico city.
He excommunicated himself fifty years ago!!!!
That is impossible. One can only be excommunicated by Church authorities after a formal trial.
@@darlameeksthis is not true at all.
@@darlameeksI think this applies to only bishops and priests
But also the priests or bishops that are giving him communion should be punished!!!
@@God_my_Savior agreed
I would love to dine in your restaurant; but no pig's head for me ! 😮

I do not trust holy men until I've observed them and seen that their actions are consistently Godly - just because a man has a title and acts like a boss doesn't mean I'm going to follow his orders (unless he's a judge) - priests have too much ego in the game, usually
Anyone who has encountered Cardinal Burke will tell you, he is a good and holy man, with deep humility. One of the good guys for sure.
I am the Riff Lord, and it is my sacred duty to pay homage to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit through the divine gift bestowed upon me-the Heavenly Metal Guitar.” 🎸🔥
I suggest Matt and the Cardinal focus on themselves and their own issues rather than judging Biden or anyone else.
I’m certain they both do. Matt often mentions attending Confession. They are both good men, doing their best to live holy lives. Biden, on the other hand, deserves public rebuke for his continuing public support for killing unborn children.
I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (zoe), and a stream of income that gats me $47,000 weekly. Plus a new identity - a child of God, Hallelujah!!!🇺🇲❣️♥️❤️>>>
Excuse me for real?,how is that
possible I have struggling
financially, how was that possible?
Thanks to Kate Elizabeth Becherer
I always appreciate God for his kindness upon my life
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Kate Elizabeth Becherer) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺
I have heard a lot of wonderful things about Kate Elizabeth Becherer on the news but didn't believe it until now. I'm definitely trying her out
Does the same apply for those in favor of the death penalty?
I agree with Cardinal Burke mind you, but wonder if the standard can be in all cases.
The catechism does not condemn the death penalty in all cases, nor is this a traditional Church teaching. Condemnation of abortion goes back to the first century Didache
Catholicism seems so bizarre and confused, going by these sites. All I find are people talking about Mary, tongues vs. hands, Latin vs. English, hatred of the pope, anger, strange saints, weird prophecies and signs and wonders, doomsday nonsense, obsession with sex and the devil, scaring the heck out of people, what a confused mess! Nobody ever talks about Jesus and his teaching: feeding the hungry, being peacemakers, not judging, not condemning, being merciful, loving one’s enemies, the hypocrisy and pride of religious leaders, etc. Are there any normal Catholic sites I can go to, or is this weird stuff all there is? Sad!
Good old fashioned Christian compassion. Let’s keep the Church safe from sinners! Said me, the divorced Catholic.
It seems like
You neither listened to the video nor have an understanding of Christ’s teachings.
@@crusader333ad
I have a very good understanding of this subject. Just not one you agree with.
Is your greater concern grace or law?
I can tell you that I went to my priest about an annulment. I was informed the great concern of the Church was the great move of Christ with the Hispanic community. Not so concerned with the people leaving or disenfranchised by the Church apparently.
@@55TeleMark - what exactly do you mean”let’s keep the church safe from sinners”??? What are you upset about??
@@55TeleMarkthe Church is comprised only of sinners. That doesn’t mean sinners have the right to profane the Body and Blood of Christ and contravene the Bible by drinking judgement on themselves.
What I’m talking about is the inability of the Church to make a place for people that don’t fit the boxes or rules.
The path back is always difficult.
Then all remarks here begin to sound like Pharisees with self righteous stones in their hands. We end up feeling worse than we already do. We’re completely aware of our shortcomings.
That doesn’t look well to us outside the Church when they have their own past to deal with.
Do not judge!
When you say "do not judge" do you mean that we should not obey Christ? Do you mean priest should not carry out their duties properly?
Yes its right to deny Biden communion although the Catholic Church gives countless millions of Catholics the communion who hold all sorts of liberal views. Maybe the Catholic Churches misunderatanding of baptism is at the heart of its problem.
it is impossible to know each parishioners’ political views,hence it is up to the parishioner to bend their will to Christ or suffer the possible consequences of receiving communion outside of the state of grace. We all will answer to the Head of the Church.
It has nothing to do with liveral views. It has everything to do with being a public sinner. When you publicly and vocally voice your support for murder, you are in mortal sin, and you should be denied communion until you repent AND stop.
The Church teaches that those who are in the public view have a different duty to faith to express the faith more clearly. Not perfectly as we are not perfect, but to profess the faith. Since he is a politician, the President, he is in a powerful position to influence others thus he has a more difficult duty of faith to publicly proclaim it. Should his views oppose the Church's teaches then that is where it becomes a problem. If he claims to be a Catholic while in such a public position, it is his responsibility to uphold the truth of Christ's teachings regardless of what it does to his poll numbers. He has compromised his faith for political power. Over a decade ago he was one of the few democrats who actually opposed abortion and he said he opposed it because of his faith. You can follow his career and see how he slowly gave into abortion, turning it from 'it's murdering babies' to 'it's a woman's right' in order to rise in the poll numbers. Mainly when he first tried to run for President decades ago. 2020 was his fourth time running for President.
EVERY Catholic should have the same duty to the faith to express it more clearly, public figure or not!
@@user-vc6py9wi6p They do. The reason public figures are held to a different standard is because they hold a public position to influence countless others. I, myself, am not a public figure, thus if I held positions that went against the Catholic Church I wouldn't be affecting many with my opposing views. However, people in public offices such as Biden not only have influence over Americans, but the world as he is a worldly figure. Thus if he claims to be Catholic, yet holds opposing views to the Church, he could possibly lead those who are not well learned in the faith to believe that advocating for abortion, homosexuality and transgenderism is okay for a Catholic to do when the opposite is true. I've personally seen the influence he's had on those kind of members of the Church, saying that the President is Catholic yet he advocates for those so it must be okay despite the Church teaching they aren't. That's why they are held to that standard.
Sitting in judgment of a lifelong Catholic while supporting arguably the most unChristian president in our nation's history. Truly baffling.
Nope, it’s exactly as St Paul said: “What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. Expel the wicked person from among you.” (1 Cor 5:12).
@@bethmcmullan7686excellent reply.
@@bethmcmullan7686 Paul didn’t live in a democracy. I am sure he would think you should care about who you vote for.
Why does Cardinal Burke feel the need to oppose the will and decisions of the Vicar of Christ? Pope Francis has determined that pro-abortion politicians can receive communion, who are we to deny that?
Because the Holy Father isn't right on everything, he's never said ANYTHING infallible.
Baaaaahhhhhh
Because it is sinful to knowingly give the holy communion to people in mortal sin, no matter who allows it. Christs teachings dont change.
Thank you for this post. I had no idea that Pope Francis took this position. I fact checked it and the Pope has taken the position that politics should not enter into the distribution of the Eucharist. It makes me sad to see that our Pope has taken this stance.
@@user-dr7md1fm3x That's a meaningless distinction.
Whether President Biden receives Communion is up to his Priest and local Bishop. They know him personally, not just what the media says about him. Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Catholic, recently signed a bill forbidding Florida municipalities from requiring employers of outdoor workers to provide water and shade breaks to those workers. Florida's outdoor workers collapse and sometimes die from heat stroke even with water and shade breaks in 90 degree+ weather and high humidity. OSHA regulations do not address this properly. Is this a pro-life policy? Should Gov. DeSantis be denied Communion until he repents of this cruel, murderous policy?
Ron is not murdering anyone with this policy.
That Biden supports abortion is not just some thing the media says about him. You can’t just secretly, fearfully hide your real opinions away while publicly supporting and signing policies with consequence. Cope harder.
While both policies can be harmful, there is a difference between a policy that MAY cause death and one that advocates for it. Supporting abortion has a direct correlation to MILLIONS of babies being aborted every year. The two are not even close to comparable.
Don't like the glasses.. makes Matt look 10 years older, the suit and everything...no
1. I’m sure he could not care less what you think
2. Do you go around telling people in the street that you don’t like their clothes and they look old? Or is it just when you’re behind a screen that you’re brave enough?
He is dressing respectable for the Cardinals interview.
@@bethmcmullan7686beat me to saying it.
It's appropriate that he present himself as maturely and respectfully as possible in this context. I want to see more people dressing up when the time is right.
You are obviously a judgmental person, i hope God gives you peace in your life and your soul.
I frequently thank my Lutheran friends for the establishment of Protestantism, so that I can attend my non-denominational Christian Church. Otherwise, I would be “stuck” with the Catholic Church. If our pastors go astray from Holy Scripture, we as church members can easily discharge them from their duties…try firing a wayward Pope! 😉
The problem is that without any sort of institution or structure the "duties" of your pastor are just whatever you deem them to be. There are some very important theological and scriptural questions that need to be answered and "non denominational" churches always tend to just glance over them.
Comparing a non denomination church to the Catholic Chuch is like comparing the PGA to a weekend minigolf group. There are millenia of theological and institutional developments that non denominational churches are simply absent from.
To my point…Check your history. The Catholic community couldn’t even fire the grossly immoral Pope Alexander 6th. So much for your years of continuity. Faithfully following the Word of God is clearly more important than simply following an institutional tradition. Wishing you God’s blessings…
@@johnbrown4568 And who would decide to "fire" the Pope, I would ask? Should we allow the college of Cardinals to simply remove the sitting Vicar of Christ because 51% of them do not personally "agree" with him? The Church is not a democracy, and Supreme Pontiff is not a "job." Of course you are going to get wicked and spiritually weak leaders every now and then in an institution that dates back two millenia. However, the stability of the wider institution is more important than the man beind the mitre. It is better to suffer through a few decades of poor leadership than to violate the sanctity of the position of Pope and allow genuinely good Popes to be removed from their position due to Church politics.
