Joe Biden, a frontrunner for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination, is a lifelong Catholic who has drifted leftward since entering the Obama White House in 2008. The tension between his public views and private faith came to a head last month when a priest in South Carolina denied him Holy Communion while he was on a campaign visit to the state.
The Morning News in the city of Florence obtained confirmation from Fr Anthony Morey on October 28, the day after Sunday Mass, that the priest “had denied the presidential candidate Holy Communion because of his stance on abortion”.
