In recent times, we have heard from bishops and moral theologians that the moral law is subject to the conscience. In Germany, Bishop Georg Bätzing said that Protestants who examine their conscience may receive the Eucharist. In the United States, some politicians say their conscience allows them to receive Communion despite their support for abortion, same-sex so-called marriage, or other things that are against Catholic teaching. Is this idea that conscience is above the moral law found in scripture? What is the Catholic view of this? Al Kresta shares his thoughts.

Should the United States participate if they do? Reggie Littlejohn is the founder of Women’s Rights Without Frontiers and is testifying in front of Congress on May 18 in favor of a US boycott of the 2022 games.

The scandal of President Biden and other pro-abortion politicians receiving the Eucharist continues. Multiple bishops, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s bishop in San Francisco, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone who joined Al on May 17 on Kresta in the Afternoon, have expressed the importance of the Eucharist.
