U.S. Catholic bishops Wednesday avoided an internal standoff, approving a statement about Communion that was launched as a way to call out President Biden over his support of abortion rights but after an outcry became a general restating of the sacrament’s centrality.
By a vote of 201 in favor, 17 opposed and five abstaining, hundreds of members of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) at their annual fall meeting passed their first statement on Communion in 15 years.
