Biden Says The Pope Told Him He ‘Was a Good Catholic’ & To ‘Keep Receiving Communion’

Fact checked
Biden and the Pope

President Biden claims that Pope Francis told him he was a good Catholic and that he should keep receiving communion, even though he has publicly supported the killing of unborn babies through abortion.

After his private Vatican meeting with the Pope, Biden told reporters: “We just talked about the fact that he was happy that I was a good Catholic and to keep receiving communion”

He added that they did not discuss the issue of abortion.

Breitbart reports When asked by reporters if the pope told him to keep receiving communion, Biden replied “Yes.”

The pope met privately with Biden for about 90 minutes at the Vatican, but the America press was prevented from covering the meeting.

Video footage released by the Vatican showed that Biden told the pope the story about African-American baseball player Satchel Paige when he first arrived.

The Vatican said the pope and Biden discussed climate change, healthcare, the coronavirus pandemic, and assisting refugees and migrants. They also spoke about freedom of religion and conscience and the protection of human rights.

Biden’s claim about what the pope told him privately about practicing his faith were not verified by the Vatican.

President Biden repeatedly claims to be a practicing Catholic, even though he publicly defies church teaching on abortion.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that “human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception.”

In September, Biden even contradicted Church teaching after voicing his opinion that life did not begin at the moment of conception.

“I respect those who believe life begins at the moment of conception and all … I respect that. Don’t agree. But I respect that,” he said.

The president typically attends Mass every weekend and receives communion even though some Catholic bishops have questioned whether public officials should be permitted to receive communion while taking a public stance supporting abortion.

    • And Benedict said he was devoting the rest of his life to praying for the Church basically to be saved. I don’t think he’s had any response.
