FARGO Two North Dakota bishops were among U.S. Catholic leaders who backed defining the “meaning of Eucharist and life of the Church,” a document that some believe could discourage public figures like U.S. President Joe Biden from accepting the sacrament if they support abortion rights.
Bishops John Folda and David Kagan of the Fargo and Bismarck dioceses, respectively, told The Forum on Wednesday, June 23, that they voted Friday during the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to draft a teaching document for Holy Communion. The initiative passed overwhelmingly in a 168-55 decision.
