As you probably know, American Catholic Bishops are now considering the denial of Communion to President Biden, because he supports the right of women to terminate their pregnancies, a decision antique dogma tells us belongs to men. The genuine issue here may be that of credibility. How credible are the Bishops? The Pope disagrees with them. Are they deaf to Rome?
About 49% of voting Catholics supported Biden for president, and Biden seems to me to be sincerely religious.
My mother's side of my family was Catholic, and I am familiar with my grandmother's response to church authority. "What the priest doesn't know won't hurt him." In fairness to the church, she was excommunicated for about 40 years, then saved again.
