"If I'm the nominee, Republicans will be sorry," said Biden, a Roman Catholic who ran for president in 1988. "The next Republican that tells me I'm not religious I'm going to shove my rosary beads down their throat."<<
Does that include a couple of Cardinals in the church that support making politicians responsible to their faith...if they choose to claim it?
Anyone know the names of the Cardinals, I'm not up on Catholic politics?
DK
Justin Cardinal Rigali of Philadelphia and
Francis Cardinal George of Chicago
Also Avery Cardinal Dulles (son of Ike's Sec/State John Foster Dulles)
The New York Archdiocese holds an annual charity dinner called the Al Smith Dinner (named for the 1928 Democratic Presidential candidate, a Catholic and usually MC'd by his Republican grandson) and it is held in October. In presidential election years, this dinner is an absolute mandatory appearance for major party presidenial nominees. Biden would be shredded with the parts left in the gutter if he showed up. Edward Cardinal Egan has his weaknesses but his hatred of abortion will keep him from comforting the embarassing likes of the lying drunken frat boy of faithless Notre Dame, who is Neil, errr Joe Biden.
