Bishops’ Abortion-Related Communion Vote Fuels Charges Of Politics, Hypocrisy
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki declined to take a position on the recent vote by U.S. Catholic Bishops to deny communion to politicians who support abortion rights, saying President Joe Biden does not view his faith "through a political prism." Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) spoke out though, calling the bishops "hypocrites" who selectively ignored other political positions.
