They have to PRESS him? What’s wrong with this picture?!? They just have to BAN him and enforce it! These guys are more examples of the “ball-less wonders” in today’s church.
It is literally their job to admonish the sinner. Including excommunication for one who does not follow the teachings of the Church like Biden. As a public figure, Biden needs to base his policy decisions on moral teaching which he hasn't done in 50 years of public life. If he wants to continue to receive communion he needs to be in a state of grace and in communion with the Churches teachings.
It's the DC bishops/cardinals are the ones who are refusing to deny communion. They are the ones who have that kind of authority and of course they're just as corrupt as everybody else in that town.
The problem is that the bishops and cardinals of DC are refusing to deny him communion (surprise, surprise). Nobody else on their level or below really has any power to do anything, and the Pope sure as hell isn't going to step in (for obvious reasons). This is the best we can do for now and I'm just glad that ANYBODY in the upper echelons is starting to push back in any function.
So it comes to 'rules for thee but not for me". Its not the bishops political view but God's laws. God doesnt change, He doesnt make mistakes. We need a SCHISM in the catholic church.
Oh, there's gonna be a schism in the afterlife. It has been confirmed that giving somebody like that communion is no less than blasphemy and any and all enablers will be held accountable in the one court that can't be corrupted.
Yeah, it is funny how that works. I know quite a few people who call themselves Catholic and also say they are pro-choice. And, of course, many Catholic Dem politicians. It's very puzzling. One way of looking at I guess is that there are nominal Catholics much like there are nominal Jews. There's a cultural dimension to it. Joe Biden, who apparently does attend Mass every Sunday -- the cognitive dissonance is astounding. His stances on the Hyde Amendment, his views on late term abortion, how can he keep a straight face sitting in the pews is beyond me.

A weak story built on maybes.

The Catholic Church is against abortion?
Yes, very much.
I must be thinking of Catholics. Most that I know are hardcore pro choice.
