Pope Francis said US President Joe Biden should discuss with his pastor the “incoherence” of being a practising Catholic but also a major supporter of liberal abortion laws.

During an interview with Univisión and Televisa broadcast this week, Pope Francis was asked about abortion, Biden’s position, and whether to admit Catholic politicians who promote legal abortion to Holy Communion.

The Holy Father affirmed the scientific evidence showing a foetus is a human life and then asked, “Is it just to eliminate a human life?”

As for the evaluating Biden’s position and what the Church might do in response, Pope Francis said:

“Let him [Biden] talk to his pastor about that incoherence”.

In the wake of the overturning of the Roe v Wade abortion regime, Biden supports federal legislation that would make abortion legal up to birth in all fifty states.
