As the bishops took to social media they all were aggressive in letting their voices be known that they were not pleased in Francis’ granting a private audience to a pro-choice Catholic politician that many conservatives believe should be denied Communion.
Tweeting things like:

Biden’s “persistent support of abortion is an embarrassment for the Church and a scandal to the world,” Tobin wrote earlier.
Cardinal Burke even asked for all Catholics to pray for politicians who would violate Gods moral law clearly referring to Biden’s continual violation of the Christian stance on protecting the sanctity of life.
Please pray with me for the Church in the USA and in every nation, that she will be faithful and clear in defending the sanctity of the Holy Eucharist and safeguarding the souls of Catholic politicians who would grievously violate the moral law. https://t.co/vGj0uVkyAi
