Students for Life hosted seven rallies across the country on June 16 urging leaders of the Catholic Church to “stand firm and fight for faith as they consider the impact of Catholics who claim to be faithful but reject church teaching with their policies and rhetoric.”
These rallies took place on the first day of the virtual meeting of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, during which leaders discussed whether those who go against Church teaching regarding abortion should be eligible to receive Holy Communion during Mass. This meeting comes as President Joe Biden, who identifies as Catholic, continues to face scrutiny for receiving Holy Communion during Mass as he pushes and supports his pro-choice agenda.
