After propping up Donald Trump for years, top Catholic bishops are stopping
at nothing to undermine President Joe Biden -- even threatening to deny him
Holy Communion. Thankfully, a group of 60+ bishops are boldly challenging
their leaders' right-wing partisanship.

Dear Faithful America member,

After propping up Donald Trump for years, top Catholic bishops are stopping
at nothing to undermine President Joe Biden -- even threatening to deny him
Holy Communion. *Thankfully, a group of 60+ bishops are boldly challenging
their leaders' right-wing partisanship.*

Cardinal Wilton Gregory has long been clear that as Archbishop of
Washington, D.C., he will not politicize the Sacraments or deny the
president Communion -- what the Catholic church calls the "source and
summit of Christian life."

Just last week, Cardinal Gregory organized a letter from 67 bishops calling
on the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to cancel *next month's vote to
stop President Biden from receiving Communion.*

Another true moral leader has been San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy, who
wrote in *America: The Jesuit Review* that bishops must cease "weaponizing"
the Eucharist and instead focus on stopping the "intrinsic evil of racism."

Cardinal Gregory, Bishop McElory, and many of their brothers are following
Pope Francis's pastoral example of working with President Biden despite
political differences. These leaders understand *what is truly at stake
when bishops prioritize cheap political points over spiritual grace,* and
for that we should thank them.

*Add your name to thank the 67 bishops standing up to right-wing attacks on
Joe Biden >>*

Thanks for everything you do to love your neighbor and reclaim Christianity
for social justice.

In peace,
- Jason, Rev. Nathan, and the Faithful America team
