Just a couple of weeks after Pope Francis suggested that bishops should refrain from denying the Eucharist to political leaders who disagree with the church on key teachings, one of the Vatican’s most influential cardinals echoed those words. Responding to a question about a document U.S. bishops are drafting about Communion that critics fear could be used to deny the Eucharist to some politicians, Cardinal Peter Turkson said, "The Eucharist should not in any way become a weapon." His comments came in a wide-ranging interview on Axios on HBO.
