Why Is President Biden Being Denied Communion?
President Biden finds himself at the center of a brawl within the Catholic Church in the U.S. over plans to deny communion to Catholic politicians who support abortion rights. Biden is the nation’s second-ever Catholic president and has described his faith as “the bedrock foundation” of his life. So what are the Catholic bishops saying -- and will their plan go through? John Allen discusses.
