Archbishop Raymond Burke said in 2004 he would not give Communion to Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry.

In early September, the Delaware Democrat was publicly corrected by the U.S. bishops for comprehensively misrepresenting Church teaching on abortion during an appearance on Meet the Press.
Now, Biden’s own bishop has rebuked him... READ MORE
