The zealots demand the US bishops name names in Communion document

The zealots demand the US bishops name names in Communion document 

The usual suspects are saying the usual things. They are best ignored. The point that everyone is still missing is that the policy is not directed at Biden, it is directed at pro-choice voters in the 2022 election. This is why the bishops wanted to move quickly when the Vatican counseled serene discernment. This is the point where the President needs to actually lead and explain the pro-choice position to the bishops, whose misunderstanding of the constitutional law on abortion and their thinly veiled Republicanism is obvious.  What the bishops should consider is whether their statements on Communion are driving gay Catholics away from the Church. Such a discussion is far more important than whether either Joe Biden or voters like me should receive. (We will anyway).
