"Here is the irony. If Joe Biden ever came to his senses, and practiced what his church preached, he would be 'deep sixed' out of the progressive movement. He has made a choice to put his politics before his faith."
I grew up in a suburb of the Twin Cities, very close to the Minneapolis border. We had a very large Catholic parish in my home town. The parish also had a school. Growing up, I had many Catholic friends. Non of us cared if someone was Lutheran, Catholic, other, or none. Across the street from where I lived, was Minneapolis. A couple of large Catholic parishes close by. I ended up dating some gal who lived in Minneapolis and went to one of those parishes. I went to church with her and her folks. It was a great experience.
Why do I say all of this? I was raised to respect Catholic folks, even though they went to a different church. As I have aged, and continue to have many Catholic friends, my respect for Catholics who are deep in their faith, has also become deeper. True Catholics, who practice church teachings, are the real defenders of the unborn. #FACT. Other faiths could learn a lot from these folks. When it comes to protecting the innocence of the unborn, there is no timidity with true Catholics.
Then we have our newly minted "President", who has just been itching to get into office and sign executive actions which would make abortion on demand even easier in this country. He would like to get tax dollars to pay for abortions for the poor. He would like to get tax dollars to pay for abortions for folks in other countries. He would like to see abortion legal up until the time the babies head is visible in the birth canal.
This is a man who goes to mass regularly and has stated many times how important his faith is to him. Say Joe - do you nod off when the priest addresses the abortion issue? Do you not know that protecting the unborn is a cornerstone of your faith (as it is with all Christian religions). How can you say you are a true Catholic, and still be such a lover of abortion?
Here is the irony. If Joe Biden ever came to his senses, and practiced what his church teaches, he would be "deep sixed" out of the progressive movement. He has made a choice to put his politics before his faith. Don't think so? Ask your pastor or priest. Abortion is a moral choice to make - not a legal one.
I remember last year being behind a car which had a bumper sticker saying - "You can't be Catholic and pro-choice". Amen to that one! However, if it was up to me, I would have changed one word. "Catholic" would have been changed for "Christian". Why? Catholics, like every other sect of Christianity should be looking at abortion on demand the same way. As a sin, as an affront to God. Please remember that Joe, when you are signing a blizzard of executive actions.
