The decision of U.S. Catholic bishops to draft a new document on communion, a move rooted in distress over President Joe Biden s abortion rights stance, continues to stoke a heated national debate that most Minnesota bishops apparently want to steer clear of.
When asked how they voted and why, just two of Minnesota s six Catholic bishops offered public disclosure: St. Cloud Bishop Donald Kettler voted to draft the document and Crookston Bishop Richard Pates voted against it. St. Paul and Minneapolis Archbishop Bernard Hebda was among those who declined to disclose how and why he voted.
