The Tablet July 14, 2021
My dear brothers and sisters in the Lord,
In this week’s column, I will attempt to shed some light upon the current state of confusion sometimes caused by the secular media and the lack of a prompt response from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) regarding the general impression that the US Bishops are moving toward banning pro-choice elected officials from the reception of Communion.
This issue was so publicized by the media that 60 Catholic members of the United States House of Representatives wrote a letter to the USCCB that the abortion issue should not be the one on which they are denied from receiving Communion. It has become obvious that there exists enough confusion on this issue that it merits some clarification, and I am pleased to do so.
