US Catholic Bishops may have to ask Biden to stop taking Communion
United States Catholic Bishops will discuss asking President Joe Biden to stop taking Communion over his views on abortion, according to reports. The Committee on Doctrine has reportedly written a document that would make it a policy to recommend that public figures that promote abortion not receive Communion. In order for the policy to go into effect, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops would have to vote to approve it, the Associated Press notes.
Biden is the second Catholic U.S. President, but the first to be pro-choice. However, the Catholic Church, considers abortion a moral issue. The UCCB has not released any part of the document on the issue, and likely won’t until after they meet in June.

President-Elect Trump to Hamas: ‘Release Hostages Now’ or there will be ‘Hell to Pay’
Following the release of a Hamas propaganda video with footage of Israeli-American soldier Edan Alexander, 20, alive after over 420 days in captivity, as well as the IDF having confirmed the death of American-Israeli Captain Omer Neutra who was abducted during the October 7th attack, Trump is not mincing words.
United States President-elect Donald Trump declared Monday that there will be “hell to pay” if the hostages held by Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists in Gaza are not freed before his inauguration on January 20. The message marked the first time since November’s election that the former chief executive commented on the situation facing captured Israeli citizens in the coastal enclave, reports Foreign Desk News.
Writing on his Truth Social account, the former president warned the captors, “Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity. Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!”
During the October 7, 2023, massacre in southern Israel, the invaders kidnapped 251 individuals after killing almost 1,200 civilians and responding security forces.
Following negotiations and rescue operations led by the Israeli military over the past year, authorities in Jerusalem estimate about 60 of the 95 remaining abductees are still alive, adds FDN.
