WASHINGTON (CNS) Bishop Robert W. McElroy of San Diego warned against the “weaponization of Eucharist” as a way to get Catholic elected officials, President Joe Biden among them, to adhere to the church’s stance on abortion.
“I do not see how depriving the president or other political leaders of Eucharist based on their public policy stance can be interpreted in our society as anything other than the weaponization of Eucharist and an effort not to convince people by argument and by dialogue and by reason, but, rather, to pummel them into submission on the issue,” Bishop McElroy said.

Federal appeals court upholds religious challenge to Gov. Cuomo s COVID-19 restrictions

A federal appeals court has ruled that Gov. Andrew Cuomo s order to limit attendance at places of worship amid rising COVID-19 figures discriminates against religion.
Earlier this year, Cuomo limited religious gatherings in orange and red COVID-19 zones to 25 or 10 people. Some groups like Agudath Israel of America and the Brooklyn Diocese sued, and the Supreme Court said the limits were unconstitutional. The decision was challenged and on Monday, a federal appeals court upheld that decision, saying the per-person limits were not legal.
