(CHRISTIAN HEADLINES) – A prominent Vatican cardinal recently defended President Joe Biden from contentions by conservative Catholics that he should be denied communion due to his support of abortion.
In an interview with AXIOS on HBO, Cardinal Peter Turkson, the head of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, argued that the Eucharist should never be weaponized.
“If you say somebody cannot receive Communion, you are basically doing a judgment that you are in a state of sin,” he said. When asked if that judgement of being in a “state of sin” applied to Biden, Turkson said “no.”
