Despite Vatican disapproval, the U.S. Conference of Catholics voted 168-55 to draft a “teaching document” expected to discourage giving communion to politicians who support abortion rights. It’s clearly aimed at devout Catholic President Joe Biden, placing him at the center of a larger divide over the church’s priorities.

 Meanwhile, former Vice President Mike Pence faced boos and cries of “traitor” on Friday from fellow conservative Christians at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference in Florida. Organizers reportedly ejected some hecklers, doubtless angered by Pence’s official affirmation of then-President Trump’s (and his own) November election loss reports America Today.
