Biden denied communion over abortion rights [View all]

Tell me again that religion isn't evil?

(CNN)Former Vice President Joe Biden was denied communion Sunday at a Catholic church in South Carolina over his support for abortion rights.

Father Robert Morey, the pastor at Saint Anthony Catholic Church in Florence, told the Florence Morning News that he had denied Biden communion because "any public figure who advocates for abortion places himself or herself outside of Church teaching."

If you don't like abortions, don't get one. But don't tell me (or my family) what they can do.
